It is raining in Bengaluru. The streets are waterlogged. The weather department has issued an “orange” alert in many parts predicting heavy rain for the next 4-5 days. Visuals of waterlogged streets are making rounds on the Internet. Of course, the news has given room to a meme fest on Twitter.
People, without wasting any time, have made a bee-line to the micro-blogging platform to show their creative side.
Users, who are dealing with the unbearable heat in the Nothern region, were among the first to express their state of mind.
