November 8, 2016. It was a normal day, life was going smoothly. With the wedding season on, people were busy shopping, planning Diwali and investing the 'fat' in the scheme called the big fat Indian wedding. Until, a surprise speech from Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the evening shook the nation and the entire world. Flyovers were blocked, hearts raced to 280/kmph, people scrambled to the nearby ATM and the nation froze as we digested the news of the 'note' ban , which was imposed in order to curb the menace of black money in the economy.

While the country is still recuperating from the development and the recovery mode is getting stronger by the day, the after effects are still being felt every day. November 8 marks the anniversary of the note ban and even though millions in the country don't look forward to it and have zero reasons to celebrate it, the government, particularly Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley thinks otherwise. 

While the opposition wants to observe it a 'black' day, the government wants to celebrate it. Literally.

BJP will observe 'anti-black money day' on 8 November 2017 to mark the completion of one year of demonetization : Shri @arunjaitley pic.twitter.com/1N3tZdB6yW

So obviously Twitter decided to turn this dark humour into dank humour and people couldn't resist sharing their thoughts. And some were pure gold!

On Mother's Day people post selfies with their moms. On Father's Day people post selfies with their dads. If 8th November is Anti-Black Money Day, naturally people will post selfies with their black money. And those idiots be caught. What a genius move by the government. RESPECT.

With no black money out, economy destroyed,BJP to celebrate 8Nov as anti black money day!More appropriate to call it Notebandi jumlabazi day

Also, some made a valid point questioning the fact that shouldn't everyday be a note ban day technically?

Shouldn't every day be anti black money day?

Then there was someone who just translated the entire message as a case of bad grammar. LOL

So anti- black money day hashtag to define the biggest money laundering scheme in the history of  India. I assume it is just bad English.

Many irate people just marked it as a day when the nation was fooled.

Fools Day should be celebrated in India on November 8 instead of April 1. Why should we celebrate "Anti-Black Money Day" for foolish DeMo?

Instead of celebrating 'Anti Black Money Day' it should be celebrated as " Big Blunder Day "

The ultimate thought, however, lies with this dude who made a hypothetical cheque of 15,000 rupees that was promised (or dreamt of).

Are you guys ready to get 15,00,000/- in your banks on Anti-Black money day? pic.twitter.com/Sd61SAiHGR

Are you celebrating? Just beware of burning firecrackers that you secretly bought for Diwali and couldn't burn due to the ban.
