Indulging in bhnars (clay pot) full of chai (tea) along with muri (puffed rice) and ‘telebhaja’ (fritters) was the perfect way to end the rainy day. A partly cloudy sky with possibility of development of thunder / lightning is forecast on Friday, February 21. Hailstorm conditions are very likely to prevail at isolated places over Gangetic West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha
