Twitter alert: Awesome Pakistani Things!

Published: January 29, 2012

"AwesomePakistaniThings" trended on Twitter worldwide on Sunday as hundreds of Pakistani and international users collated a comprehensive list of things about the country that are awesome.

In a country as riddled with problems as Pakistan, self-motivation is important to maintain optimism and sanity.

Pakistani Twitter users – both from within the country and those abroad – took to the microblogging website to collate a comprehensive list of what all it is about their country that is awesome.

International users also joined in as #AwesomePakistaniThings trended worldwide on Sunday for over an hour.

Soon after the trend made it to the worldwide trending list, another trend called #AwesomeIndianThings started.
