Gurugram Man's Frustration Over Traffic Goes Viral, Netizens React (WATCH)

A Gurugram professional's Instagram video ranting about the city's traffic crisis has gone viral. He expressed frustration over spending hours commuting and questioned the need for office work when remote work is possible. The video, captioned "Today's corporate rant," resonated with thousands of commuters facing similar issues.

A Gurugram professional's rant on Gurugram traffic crisis has gone viral on social media. He complained about the late-evening trip in an Instagram video, saying, "Gurgaon ke traffic se meri ruh kap jati hai." Despite leaving his workplace at 5:30 p.m., he spent more than two hours on the road to get home. The phrase, meaning "Gurgaon's traffic shakes my soul," has struck a chord with many commuters who go through the same every day. 

He also questioned why he needs to come to the office at all. “Thanks to COVID, we cracked the concept of “Work from Home,"… I can handle my entire workload right from my laptop." He then pointed out how his evenings are lost in traffic. “From 5 to 9, I’m stuck sitting in my car… The traffic in Gurgaon sends shivers down my spine, man."

"Today's corporate rant," the user wrote as the caption of the video.
