Twitter in 2019: Chandrayaan 2, Amitabh Bachchan to laughing emoji, here's what you tweeted the most

There are various social media platforms but Twitter’s purpose has always been more than just sharing what’s happening in your life – it is a platform where people come to see what’s happening and join in conversations on trending topics. [caption id=“attachment_7288521” align=“alignnone” width=“1024”]  Image: Reuters[/caption] Like every year, in 2019, users in India talked about various things - from the #loksabhaelections2019 to #chandrayaan2 and #cwc19. Twitter has shared its annual report of ‘Here’s what’s happened’, and ISRO’s Chandrayaan 2 was clearly the most exciting and momentous event for India.

Space is hard. We commend @ISRO’s attempt to land their #Chandrayaan2 mission on the Moon’s South Pole. You have inspired us with your journey and look forward to future opportunities to explore our solar system together. https://t.co/pKzzo9FDLL
