In-Flight Announcements Made Like Note Ban Updates Has Twitter LOL-ing

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's move to ban Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes has several supporters and also critics. The move is all the buzz on social media. Twitter user Sanjay Sipahimalani has thought of a new, funny way of describing the notes ban - and its side-effects.

Putting a funny spin to the numerous updates since demonetization was announced on November 8, Mr Sipahimalani has imagined a series of in-flight announcements.

"Do fasten your seatbelts, because we're in for a bumpy ride," he begins and goes on to hilariously spoof the announcements or the process (or maybe both). Way to defuse some tension with use of humor.

Take a look at the tweets below:

"This was so damn hilarious. So good," said one commenter. "Brilliant stuff," said another.

Mr Sipahimalani isn't the only one. Another person who gave an entertaining spin to the notes ban is the unstoppable Baba Sehgal.

The '90s rapper shared a rambling video titled 'Black Money' on November 18. Its chorus goes something like this: Aur khelo, aur khelo gilli aur danda, anda poochey murgi sey kya hai black ka funda... Enough said.
