In recent days, Northern India, especially Delhi-NCR, has been grappling with extreme weather conditions, notably a prolonged heatwave pushing temperatures close to a scorching 50 degrees Celsius. Social media has become a platform for many to share their struggles and humorous takes on coping with the intense heat.

One standout post came from Bhumika, a homeopathic doctor from Delhi, who took to social media to share a lighthearted anecdote about the effects of the heat. She humorously recounted how the besan laddoos sent by her mother had melted into what she called a "cake" due to Delhi's blistering temperatures. Posting a picture of the melted laddoos, Bhumika welcomed them to "Delhi ki garmi" in jest.

Despite the laddoos losing their original form, Bhumika mentioned that they surprisingly tasted good even in their melted state. Her post quickly gained traction, going viral and prompting a flood of reactions from amused users across social media. Many joined in with their own humorous stories and witty comments.

One user, for instance, creatively referred to the melted besan laddoos as 'besan ka halwa,' showcasing the community's knack for finding humor even in challenging weather conditions.

The incident highlights how social media serves not only as a platform for sharing everyday experiences but also as a space for communal humor and solidarity during tough times. As the heatwave persists, people continue to find ways to stay cool and entertained amidst the sweltering summer temperatures in Delhi and beyond.
