To witness the Northern Lights, one needs to travel to countries like Norway, Finland, Greenland and Iceland. But Harsh Goenka revealed on X that he witnessed the Northern Lights in Mumbai. Taking a dig at the city’s traffic situation, he shared a picture of a road clogged with traffic, cars are seen stuck in traffic bumper to bumper. Bright red and yellow lights emanate from the vehicles.
The business tycoon called Mumbai’s Northern Lights, “Aurora Borivalis Maladis”. Borivalis, if you hadn’t guessed already indicates residents of Borivali locality and Maladis are people from Malad in Mumbai. We have to admit, the play on words is impressive and definitely left us chuckling.
