Welcome to the Session 1 tag page on PC Literacy Info. Here you’ll find a handy bundle of the freshest stories that matter right now – from rain warnings to cricket scores, from movie buzz to market moves. We keep it short, we keep it useful, so you can skim and stay ahead without the fluff.

Weather Alerts You Can’t Miss

Delhi‑NCR is under an orange rain alert with an 87% chance of showers today, especially between 2 PM and 6 PM. Temperatures will hover around 27 °C to 34 °C, and thunderstorms are possible. If you’re heading out, pack an umbrella and expect traffic delays. In Uttar Pradesh, 15 districts are also on orange alert while Lucknow sits on a yellow warning. Heavy monsoon rains are persisting, pushing the region’s total rainfall well above normal.

Kolkata is battling a fresh depression over the Bay of Bengal. The city is seeing waterlogging in low‑lying areas and long traffic snarls. Authorities have deployed pumps and cleared drains, but high tide is slowing the process. Meanwhile, Bihar’s lightning warning for several districts on August 21 remains unconfirmed, so stay alert for sudden storms.

Sports, Entertainment and More

Cricket fans have a lot to talk about. Keshav Maharaj just became the first South African spinner to reach 200 Test wickets, a milestone he hit against Zimbabwe. In the IPL, the opening match between KKR and RCB is under an IMD orange alert, meaning rain could disrupt play at Eden Gardens. Over in the Caribbean, CPL 2025 has released full squads and venues, promising high‑octane clashes across six franchises.

On the entertainment front, the Tamil film "Bad Girl" sparked a heated debate after its teaser was accused of misrepresenting a Brahmin girl. Director Mohan G called out producers Anurag Kashyap and Vetri Maaran, while actor Shanthi Priya defended the movie as a conversation starter. The film will compete at the International Film Festival Rotterdam later this year.

Bigg Boss 19 kicked off with Salman Khan back as host and a mix of TV, film, and social media personalities. Young star Ashnoor Kaur entered as the youngest contestant, aiming to become the first youthful winner. Meanwhile, YouTube sensation Mridul Tiwari, known as The MriDul, won a fan vote to join the show, bringing his comedy to a primetime audience.

Finance news shows a bright spot: Indian markets rallied as Sensex and Nifty surged after retail inflation dropped to an eight‑year low of 1.55%. The dip in inflation boosted confidence across sectors, especially healthcare, and helped the indices breach key milestones.

Finally, a quick heads‑up on holidays – banks across major Indian states are closed today for Janmashtami, but digital services like UPI and net banking remain fully operational. Plan your cash withdrawals accordingly.
