Frequent static shocks

“Bangalore folks, are you getting static shocks on touching metal since a few days? A crazy number of my friends are experiencing this. I saw a real little spark while opening the door knob,” read her tweet.

Forget door knobs, I'm experiencing static sparks on my blanket when I run my fingers over it. I thought I'm in the process of becoming Thor ?.
Well, got a bit sad after knowing that its normal and a lot others are also experiencing Thor transition ?

What?
For last 4 days – me & my experiencing static shocks and was wondering about the root cause. (South Bengaluru)
It's more surprising that it's happening to others as well.
Any root cause found out yet?
