New Delhi: Singapore’s High Commissioner to India, HC Wong, shared a light-hearted moment on social media as he celebrated the first rainfall of 2026 in India. Posting from the official X handle of ‘Singapore in India’, the envoy marked the occasion with the India's much-loved dish of chai, pakodas and green chutney, calling it a perfect way to welcome the season’s first “baarish”.

The post featured a series of images showing the envoy enjoying the monsoon mood indoors. Along with the pictures, the envoy tweeted, “Celebrating first #baarish in 2026 with #chai #pakora. Come join me?😁”

The envoy also shared a picture of vibrant greenery at a lawn soaked by rain.

The tweet struck a chord with Indian social media users, many of whom appreciated the cultural connect and warmth. A social media user commented on his post, saying, "Looks very good Sir. I want to join." Another said, “Akele akele.” A comment read, "Lucky you sir, I am jealous!!" An X user joked that the ambassador would get fat if he continued eating such food.

This comes as Delhi-NCR witnessed its first rain of 2026 on Friday morning. 

HC Wong is quite active on social media. Last November, he shared pictures of attending the wedding of one of his staffers at a village in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr. Along with the heart-warming pictures, he wrote, "Attended the wedding ceremony of my staff in his village at Bulandshahr, UP. So much joy. Congratulations."
