As someone who moved from Toronto to Delhi, this weather reminds me of home. But the infrastructure here can't handle half the rain. Waterlogging is a serious problem—hope MCD is actually prepared this time.
Great news for the plants and trees! But yaar, the traffic will be a nightmare tomorrow morning. Already dreading the commute from Noida to Connaught Place. 🚗💨
This is a welcome change after the scorching heat we had last week. But one has to question—why do roads get dug up just before every monsoon? It's like an annual ritual. Hope the drains are cleaned this time!
Enjoyed a nice walk in Lodhi Garden with the drizzle. Delhi has a certain charm when it rains—but it's short-lived. Hope IMD's forecast holds and we don't get a sudden flood situation.
Thank God! Was sweating like mad in Mukherjee Nagar during my UPSC prep classes. Now I can focus on my studies without the fan running at full speed. Also, no more dust storms! 😅📚
Behenchod, ab toh barish bhi aati hai toh log khush ho jaate hain! But seriously, this is a much-needed break
