As the monsoon season brings relief from the scorching heat in the national capital region, it also brings back the familiar woes of heavy traffic congestion and severe waterlogging. On Saturday, Delhi witnessed heavy rainfall, resulting in waterlogging in several areas, including Akbar Roads and the lanes outside Pragati Maidan. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a 'yellow alert' for Sunday (July 9) forecasting more rain for the city.
While commuters navigating the city's roads face challenging conditions, netizens have found a way to lighten the mood through creative memes. One Instagram user with the handle @hey_aakash shared a humorous video reel captioned "MUST visit places in Gurgaon This Monsoon," showcasing various areas transformed into water bodies by the monsoon rains.
The video features locations like 'Sohna Water Fall,' 'Udyog Vihar Lake,' 'Ansal Plaza Ocean,' 'DLF Rafting Point,' and 'Sector 29 Scuba Diving.' These areas are commonly used by office-goers for daily commutes, and the monsoon season poses significant difficulties in navigating through them.

The video has garnered over 60K likes and numerous comments. Users took the opportunity to poke fun at the administration's preparedness for the monsoon, adding humor and sarcasm to their remarks. One user jokingly commented, "I was planning to visit the Aravali hills for no reason!" Another user quipped, "Will they charge us to see these places?" Yet another user requested a complete itinerary with a budget package, asking how many days would be needed to cover all these "must-visit" monsoon spots, "Approx how many days are enough to cover all these places... Complete itinerary needed with a budget package," the user said.
