Mumbai woke up to frightening thunder, lightning and rains on September 13. It did not take much for people to take their phones out and record the thunder and lightning, which many on Twitter termed as “Mumbai night on angry mode”. A cab driver, Kishor M, said that the rains began around 2 am and went on till about 6 in the morning. The sound woke up the whole family at 3.30 am and we thought it was like the end of the world. We were surprised when the sun rose in the morning,” he said. A quick look through the Internet will show many videos from the night showing Mumbai sky almost lighting up like a day, because of the thunder. A couple of other equally chilling clips show the lightning spreading through the clouds before it hit the earth.

While many on the Internet clearly seemed frightened to say the least, others tried to make light of the situation. And a handful of the rest took to the micro-blogging site to wonder out loud that when did this happen, because they managed to sleep through the thunderstorm! Check out some of the tweets here.

Meanwhile, Aditi Rao Hydari kept it casual yet chic in a black asymmetrical top which she wore with her denim shorts and white sneakers. We like how she accessorised it with a tan bag and cool sunglasses and kept her make-up and hair really simple. After all, simplicity is the key.

As nutrition is the central concern of regenerative agriculture, India must prioritise nutritional security by enhancing domestic production of pulses and oilseeds—crops that require fewer inputs and naturally fix nitrogen in the soil. To address this, the government has launched the Rs 11,440 crore ‘Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses’ (2025–26 to 2030–31) — it aims to scale up domestic pulse production to 350 lakh tonnes.
