Music, memes, cricket and more...

There’s Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Royal Wedding and a star-studded Billboard Music Awards ceremony. But guess who steals the show? Gujrat-based superintendent engineer with the Sardar Sarovar Punarvasvat Agency, Rameshchandra Fefar, who claims he is Kalki, the tenth incarnation of Vishnu. In his response to a show cause notice that was reportedly served to him for attending office in Vadodara only on 16 days in the last eight months, Fefar said that he cannot come to office as he is conducting “penance” by entering the “fifth dimension to change the global conscience”. This news comes to bee just when it was filing a leave application mail to the Queen Bee. Like any other secular atheist, the bee, after analysing and contemplating a great deal, is obliged to stick with logic. “For a country that has a chaiwala for its Prime Minister, an engineer at a government agency constituted for implementing the Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) activities of the Sardar Sarovar Project Affected Families (PAFs) in Gujarat can believably be Kalki’s avatar. “Let’s talk about reservations now,” says Funky Monkey as it drops in, swinging from one branch to another.

You know how it works with bee and the monkey? One stings, the other one apes! It’s a primitive kind of fight. 

Time to hit the same place: The Bee Err Bar.

Royal Wedding, Royal Meme 

On Saturday, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, finally rubbed her rich, flamboyant, and fairy-tale wedding in everybody’s face, giving little girls a reason to dream and show off their loaded prince. The money spent on the wedding amounts to $45 Million. “We could have solved our country’s unemployment crisis with all that money, or fed the poor, or repaid Nirav Modi’s loans, or solved our reservation problem,” the bee debates with Funky and nothing much comes out of it, except a few memes—pretty much like the royal wedding itself. 

Apart from the horses, the smiling kid who video-bombed Meghan as he held the tail of her veil, has everyone on the net hooked to it, but it’s nothing like the picture of young Meghan posing outside the Birmingham Palace. Twitter and Facebook reacted to her picture while calling it surreal and inspiring. “You should go and pose for a picture outside Taj Mahal... Perhaps, you will join Mumtaaz Mahal there soon,” the bee quips!

Billboard Music Award’s most viral moments

Too much for bee drama, Funky is taking a selfie with one suspender up his shoulder. He’s posing like Nick Jonas at the Billboard Music Awards! The music award show, which took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Sunday night, contained many buzzworthy moments that have gone viral on the net. It starts with Kelly Clarkson honouring school victims and goes to Demi Lovato's side eye to someone during Shawn Mendes' performance. Twitter quickly caught hold of the moment, even using it to settle the Yanny v. Laurel debate. While Normani pulled off a killed performance with Khalid on their new single Love Lies, Christina Aguilera and Demi Lovato performing on their new duet Fall in Line also took internet by storm. The best, however, was the K-pop group BTS’s Jimin floored all folks with his confident strokes and has gone viral for his “worldwide handsome” looks. 

Tube Tales

In a video that has gone viral on Twitter, Preity Zinta is seen talking to one of Kings XI Punjab official and in the video, she seems to have said, “I am just very happy that Mumbai is not going to the finals..Really happy.” The video was tweeted by a Twitter use @jogtweets. “Read my lips,” the bee says and winds up the conversation. And just when everything looked fine, the debate over “Yanny or Laurel” took off. The auditory illusion became popular when in the brief audio recording, 53% of over 500,000 people answered on a Twitter poll that they heard a man saying the word “Laurel”, while 47% reported hearing a voice saying the name “Yanny”...The audio clip originated from a recording of Jay Aubrey Jones, an opera singer, speaking the word “Laurel” as one of 200,000 reference pronunciations produced and published by vocabulary.com in 2007.
