Delhi and the regions surrounding the capital on Wednesday woke up to loud thunder, lightning flashes, and clouds so dark it seemed the Sun was already ready to set exhausted after a day of shining.
Traditionally, Indians are wired to dig into deep fried snacks like “bhajiyas”, “pakodas”, and “samosas” on rainy days accompanied by piping hot chai and today is no different. Songs from the "Let it Rain" playlists are setting the mood across the national capital.
