Senior Indian cricket Dinesh Karthik and his wife Dipika Pallikal, who is an Indian squash player, also got everyone excited and intrigued by participating in this crazy vogue.
On Friday, both Dinesh Karthik, who is currently in Dubai with Team India, and his doting wife Dipika Pallikal took to Twitter at the same time – 3.29 PM IST – to tweet each other’s names. Nothing else, but they just tweeted each other’s names: “Dinesh” and “Dipika”

It seems like this mania began with the American train service provider, Amtrak. Amtrak’s one-word tweet saying ‘Trains’ went viral all over the internet and has gathered more than 150,000 likes. Seeing the viral post, many big organisations and personalities across the world joined in.
United States of America President Joe Biden wrote ‘Democracy’ while NASA said ‘Universe.’ WWE and Starbucks joined in by writing ‘Wrestling’ and Coffee’ respectively. Google maps chimed in too and wrote ‘Maps.’ American news media houses Bloomberg, Washington Post, and CNN also took part by saying ‘Business’, ‘News’, and ‘Breaking News’ respectively.
