The most viral dance of the internets first got Introduced into the Indian mind space when Sri Chris Gayle did it to celebrate catches and wickets in the IPL much to the confusion of the aam admi and the Indian commentators such as the newly haired Sri Harsha Bhogle, all fo whome initially struggled to pronounce or explain what was happening.
Soon enough people got wiser and now everybody was expected to do the Gangnam dance everytime, especially the West Indian cricketers.
Sri Harbhajan Singh (who by the way slapped Sri Srisanth much before he took money for fixing matches) took it and made it his own, wildly gesticulating and violently attempting to dance the gangnam style while his body refused to cooperate and insisted on doing bhangra.
The end result, the Bhangnam Style.

Usage

Harsha Bhogle - There he goes again! that Chris Gayle, celebrating the wicket with his trademark gangnam style dance. This Caribbean flavour really lightens up this IPL, isn't it?

Daren Ganga - Well, Harsha! I have to say, Bhajis version the bhangnam style has made doing the gangnam style shameful, self-degrading and embarrassing.

For nine years the esteemed UPA Government, both 1 and 2 have strived hard to construct a Nation and with the completion of nine years in power serving the nation, the powers that be have decided to let the nations know about the Sri Manmohan Singh led government's modest achievements in nation building. The High Command is not at odds with the PM, just so you know.
While the equally competent and esteemed Government of Sri Atal Bihari Vajpais NDA regime did the same with their own modest attempt to educated the aam junta on its nation building under the name of India Shinning, they were not as successful in informing the stubborn public about their contributions to make India shine.
Bharat Nirman is not an advertising campaign or an election slogan as pointed out by the esteemed Minister of Broadcasting and Information Sri Manish Tiwari, he has clarified that it is just an exercise in telling the story of India, the journey of India.
The money spent on these informational pieces of educational materials, be it print, radio, broadcast or the internets has been spent with the interest of the aam admis in mind and it is beneficial to everyone so thus in conclusion it is not the waste of the 6% of Indians who pay their taxes.

Usage

INC - Bharat Nirman!
BJP - India Shining!

The government authorized rate of property in India. It is on this basis that the stamp duty and taxes are calculated. The circle rate differs from locality to locality allegedly based on the infrastructure available.
But hero don't jump the gun! It is different from the market value of the property. So if you take out a loan, the bank will calculate the value by its circle rate and you will pay the circle rate amount by cheque or white money and the rest in cash or black money. The margin differs from place to place and can be as high as 5% circle rate to low as 80% circle rate.
And we wonder where our black money is.

Usage

Property Dealer - Sir ji! Top ki property hai! East facing, garden in front, two car parking, no load shedding, personal water supply no need to call tanky. And best is only respectable people in neighborhood.

Murthynathswamy - What is rate?

Property dealer - Sir, only 1.5 cr, circle rate is 80 lakhs and rest cash.

Murthynathswamy - Can you try make cheque more less?

An age old traditional dance of the Indian subcontinent, widespread from the war fields of Afghanistan to the darkness of Bihar.
Young boys are dressed up as girls and are made to dance to traditional or popular music for the pleasure of older gentlemen because, well after all dancing with the opposite sex is un-everything, because 'good girls' from 'good families' don't do all this, therefore boys are preferred to real girls.
And it is ok, Sirji, after all it happens in the darkness, in villages and far away from you.

Usage

Bhaiya 1 - Eh sala!! Shankarva ke biha me ja raha hai?
Bahiya 2 - Pucca be! mast launda naach hoga uhna!

Bhenam - Sorry, your son has to come with us, tell him to get his girls clothes, the Shiekh is in town.
