I upgraded to this version of nodejs and npm a few days back and things have been fine until yesterday.

Could someone point me to the right direction in fixing this?

I faced the exact issue. But I did not have brew on my Ubuntu Amazon EC2 instance(and I did not want to install it). I uninstalled npm using sudo npm uninstall npm –g and then ran the make install command again in the NPM directory to recompile npm and that fixed the issue.
