April Phool Banaya

April Phool (flower in Hindi) Banaya (made in Hindi).
Sounds like the Bollywood title song of a classic sung by Mohammad Rafi Sab.
But here it brings joy to everyone as there are no victims but only silent revelers.

Heard Immunity

Indian constitution gives its citizens a fundamental right of freedom of speech and expression which a fundamental pillar of democracy.
When those who oppose the incumbent government in India are questioned for tax or any other matter they complain of "muzzling voices of dissent" which I would call as "heard immunity".
Essentially meaning that once you start opposing you should be heard irrespective of the merits of your arguments and play the victim card whenever convenient.

Khami Dhundne Ki Bhool

Khami Dhundne Ki
Nahi Karenge Bhool
Hum Hai Bus Aapki
Charanon Ki Dhool

PAD to HeliPAD

At the peak of Sony Walkman's popularity there was an advertisement by an Airline with the caption: "Don't walk man, fly". Probably inspired by this Indian politicians have increasingly moved from PAD yatras (a pilgrimage on foot to express polical concerns) to HeliPAD yatras (using helicopters).
