Tremors in Delhi-NCR last night following an earthquake in Nepal have sparked off a meme fest as social media users pointed out that the national capital, already suffering due to severe air pollution, got yet another jolt.

One of the memes shared a photograph of actors Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman after the Deadpool actor was tricked into wearing an ugly sweater at a party. In one of the memes on the Delhi tremors, Reynolds, with his priceless pranked expression, was tagged as people of Delhi. Gyllenhaal and Jackman, seen having a laugh at him, are tagged earthquake and pollution, respectively.

Another meme featured Aamir Khan's character in PK, lamenting that he does not want to stay on a planet that has pollution in the day, eclipse in the evening and an earthquake at night.

One meme starred Shah Rukh Khan as Rahul in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, with a line from a superhit number that says, "Main to hil gaya".
Mr Khan featured in another meme: the comic shot in which he plays a dacoit asking everyone to flee in Om Shanti Om was shared as a message to Delhi residents after the tremors struck.

Some memes also captured the FOMO of those who slept through the tremors. An image of actor Rajpal Yadav from the movie 'Dhol' with the message, "Yeh kab hua (when did this happen?)" started doing the rounds.
Delhi is gearing up to build one of India's most advanced e-waste processing facilities, and it's taking cues from Norway's cutting-edge model.
The national capital on Sunday recorded a maximum temperature of 33.6 degrees Celsius, 7.8 notches below the seasonal average, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
Air Quality Management Commission admitted it has not conducted any research or study on pollution caused by diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years, which form the basis of the overage vehicle ban in Delhi-NCR.
Monsoon Diseases Prevention: Monsoon brings welcome relief but also triggers respiratory health issues like cold, flu, asthma and pneumonia, due to high humidity, mould, dust, air pollution and viral outbreaks.
The Supreme Court has upheld the powers of the pollution control boards to impose restitutionary and compensatory damages for environmental harm, saying that prevention and remediation must be at the heart of environmental governance.

Friday December 20, 2024While some may argue that people in Delhi are now more aware of air pollution than they were a decade back, my rebuttal would be that awareness does not mean that people are concerned.

Tuesday December 10, 2024Delhi welcomed us with monsoon rains and mangos. We were home. Fast forward a couple of years, in the winter of 2012, I found myself in denial about something other parents, mostly expats, were calling toxic air.

Friday November 22, 2024On a good day, such as today, the AQI reading in Delhi is 407. We are jubilant at the sickly sunshine trickling through the slightly dissipated smog. At least its not 1600.

Monday November 18, 2024दिल्ली-एनसीआर में प्रदूषण का समाधान तो आज तक मिला नहीं. हर साल चिंतित होकर हम-आप सांसों की तकलीफ के साथ-साथ दिल और ब्लड प्रेशर के मरीज भी क्यों बनें?

Friday November 08, 2024हमारी हवा जहरीली हो रही है. गुरुवार की शाम को जब मैं इस मुद्दे पर लिखने बैठी तो AQI लगातार 400 पार जाकर दम घोंट रहा था. बहुत लोगों को यह मामला बोरिंग लगे, लेकिन जब आप अपने साथ काम करने वालों को खांसते-हांफते देखते-सुनते हैं, तो चिंता होने लगती है. सुबह उठते ही दरवाजे खिड़कियां खोलने के लिए डॉक्टर मना कर रहे हैं. बड़े बुजुर्गों के लिए तो मॉर्निंग वॉक बाहर की दुनिया से सीधे संपर्क का ज़रिया है, लेकिन डॉक्टर इसकी भी मनाही कर रहे हैं.
