Delhi Heat Turns Besan Laddoos Into 'Cake'; Netizens React As Doctor Shares Image
Swathes of northern India, including the national capital, have been in the grip of a punishingly long heat wave.
With Delhi temperatures soaring to all-time highs this summer, residents had their share of challenges dealing with the intense heat.
A homoeopathy doctor shared her experience on platform X where the besan laddoos sent by her family had turned to "cake".
Sharing her woes in a lighter tone, the user, whose twitter handle is @thisisbhumika, wrote, "Dear Besan ke laddoo Welcome to Delhi ki garmi!" [sic].
When another user inquired if the incident was real, she said her family had sent besan laddoos but by the time they reached Delhi, they had turned into a cake.
Here's how other people responded to her post:

Swathes of northern India, including the national capital, have been in the grip of a punishingly long heat wave, increasing heat stroke casualties and prompting the Centre to issue advisory to hospitals to set up special units to cater to such patients.
The city recorded a maximum temperature of 43.6 degrees Celsius, over four notches above the normal. The night temperature in Delhi was 35.2 degrees Celsius, the city's highest in June since 1969, the Met office said on Wednesday.
