New Delhi: A photograph of the Press Club in Delhi flooded after heavy rain in the city has gone viral, not as much for the ankle-deep water in the room but for the sight of journalists enjoying their drink despite the flooding.
The picture from Wednesday shows a table with open bottles of alcohol and snacks. Sitting at the table is a group of men. One man has his legs up on a chair to avoid the water. Also in the photograph are other Press Club members with their trousers rolled up, wading through the water.
