What would normally have been an eight-kilometre journey home took her around 2.5 hours, as she struggled to find a ride and eventually decided to walk. A woman in Gurgaon has shared a video highlighting the commuting chaos she faced after rain triggered heavy traffic across the city.
Taking to Instagram, Hensi Soni shared a glimpse of the traffic around her and spoke about how difficult it becomes to travel home from office once it starts raining in Gurgaon. “If it starts raining in Gurgaon and you are in the office, going back home becomes a whole battle. I mean, as far as you can see, it is blocked beyond limits, like a terrible jam. Nothing is getting booked. I mean, how is a person supposed to go home even if they want to? A third person commented, “Walking home actually feels faster than taking an auto here.
Because look at the traffic!
It’s like so annoying,” Soni said. “Gurgaon traffic after rain is a different level of struggle,” one user wrote. “I completely agree with you,” said another. Another user pointed to the cost of living in the city while dealing with such problems, writing, “Imagine paying Gurgaon rents and still dealing with this daily.”
She later revealed in the caption that it took her 2.5 hours to finally reach home despite the relatively short distance. Because nothing is getting booked; there is a traffic jam. Because… it is what it is,” she added.
“Now I have to walk and go. I mean, literally, I’m walking back home. Who knows how far I’ll have to walk? Even if I book something and sit in an auto, it feels like the auto will move slower than me walking.
“Finally reached home after 2.5 hours (It was just 8 km),” the caption read.
