What’s Trending This Sunday?

First up, Delhi‑NCR is seeing a brief rain spell that lowered temperatures to the mid‑20s and improved air quality to a decent AQI of 75. If you’re planning a stroll, the humidity is still sticky, so a light jacket won’t hurt. Meanwhile, over in Mumbai, the Lalbaugcha Raja Ganpati Visarjan drew crowds, and even Anant Ambani joined the procession – a reminder that festivals still sparkle despite traffic jams.

Sports fans have a lot to chew on. The IPL opener at Eden Gardens could face thunderstorms, so keep an eye on the sky if you’re watching live. In cricket, Pakistan’s T20I win over Afghanistan was a nail‑biter, with a 17‑ball collapse that turned the match on its head. Over in tennis, PV Sindhu’s early exit at the Japan Open surprised many, but young Indian duos Satwik‑Chirag and Lakshya Sen pushed forward, giving the team a boost.

If you’re into entertainment, Pawan Kalyan’s new film “Hari Hara Veera Mallu” started strong, breaking the ₹100 crore mark, but the momentum faded fast. For music lovers, we’ve compiled a playlist of seven Bollywood tracks perfect for Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations – from “Deva Shree Ganesha” to classic aartis.
