Because look at the traffic! 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? It's like so annoying,” Soni said.With cabs and autos difficult to book amid the congestion, she said she had no option but to start walking.“Now I have to walk and go. I mean, literally, I'm walking back home. Who knows how far I'll have to walk? Because nothing is getting booked; there is a traffic jam. Even if I book something and sit in an auto, it feels like the auto will move slower than me walking. Because... it is what it is,” she added.Referring to people stuck in their own vehicles, Soni continued, “And those who brought their cars must be thinking where they've gotten stuck, poor things. I mean, reality check of Gurgaon—where there is such a big corporate world, there is so much of everything, but maintenance: zero."She later revealed in the caption that it took her 2.5 hours to finally reach home despite the relatively short distance."Finally reached home after 2.5 hours (It was just 8 km)," the caption read.Watch the clip here:Social media users reactThe video prompted several reactions from people who said they could relate to the difficulties of commuting in Gurgaon after rain.“Gurgaon traffic after rain is a different level of struggle,” one user wrote. “I completely agree with you,” said another.
