Cars as far as the eye can see: Viral video shows Gurgaon's jam-packed roads, internet says ‘better than Bengaluru'
'Ab fark nahi padta (It doesn't matter anymore),' Instagram user Ankit Tiwari wrote while posting the video.
The footage shows hundreds of cars across a stretch of highway in Gurgaon. The cars move slowly, navigating through the traffic.
Take a look at the video:
What did social media say?
'After some point, adding lanes is not the solution,' an individual posted, referencing how all the lanes in the video are packed with cars. Another added, 'Thodi barish aur ho jaye... phir dekho jaam.' Last week, heavy rainfall in different parts of Gurgaon caused severe waterlogging. A few residents claimed they came home to find water inside their apartments. Visuals of cars trying to cross water-filled roads also made their way to social media.
'The problem is that people made this norm. No one's complaining,' a third expressed. A fourth wrote, 'Still better than Bangalore!!'
Traffic woes in Gurgaon:
The heavy rainfall that lashed Gurgaon a few days ago caused severe damage to certain roads in the city. Two key roads of the region, maintained by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), formed potholes and cracks following the downpour. It triggered congestion and left commuters frustrated.
'Vehicles can't move at more than 10 kmph on this road, and this has led to heavy congestion since the road got damaged. We are trying to manage the situation, but the road needs immediate repair,' a traffic police told HT.com.
A resident who has a shop in Sector 22 shared how damages to Major Sushil Aima Road, which connects Palam Vihar with Old Delhi Road and links Old Gurugram to Dwarka Expressway, affected daily life. 'Around half a kilometre of this road from Sector 22 market to the petrol pump is badly damaged. The drain has not been cleared in 10 years, but no corrective measures have been taken.'

‘How to get rich while driving auto': Bengaluru driver streams Naval Ravikant podcast mid-ride; netizens hail ‘peak productivity'
A photo doing the rounds online perfectly captures Bengaluru's quirky, tech-loving spirit. Snapped during a recent autorickshaw ride, the image shows a driver multitasking in the most unexpected way, streaming a Naval Ravikant podcast on a mini screen installed above his windshield, all while navigating traffic with directions running on his phone. The X user who shared the photo summed it up best: 'It doesn't get more peak Bengaluru than this.' It doesn't get more peak bengaluru than this @peakbengaluru — Priyanshu Tanwar (@0xTanwar) August 3, 2025 The post quickly gained traction online, racking up nearly 80,000 views and sparking a wave of reactions in the comments. People admired the autorickshaw driver's dedication and ability to juggle multiple tasks on the go. Many also gave him a nod of respect for making the most of his time by tuning in to Ravikant, whose entrepreneurial and philosophical wisdom continues to inspire countless listeners. A user wrote, 'Listening to podcasts while navigating Bengaluru traffic – @peakbengaluru its finest. Peak productivity in peak traffic.' Another user quipped, 'This auto driver's multitasking game is on another level—watching a podcast, navigating with Google Maps, AND dodging Bengaluru potholes all at once! I can't even drink water while walking straight.' A third person commented, 'How to get rich while driving auto. Crazy.' However, not everyone missed the background details in the image. Some users cheekily pointed out a pothole visible on the road behind the rickshaw. A user wrote, 'That pothole, though. BLR never disappoints.' Another person added, 'Yeah pothole spotted.' Last month, a Bengaluru commuter shared a bizarre experience on Reddit, recalling how his autorickshaw driver got distracted mid-ride — not by traffic, but by Instagram. 'What made it worse was that he came across a post by Sreeleela(Actor), and instead of just moving on, he actually slowed down the auto right in the middle of the main road to open her profile and scroll through her feed,' the user wrote. Running late for work, the man said he was both angry and stunned by the driver's casual attitude. Despite his frustration, he admitted feeling 'completely helpless' in the moment.
