A video is going viral on social media that shows a man selling an inflatable boat in the middle of the heavy rains and waterlogged streets of Delhi and Gurugram. In a funny take on the serious flooding situation, a man and a woman can be seen riding the boat through a flooded road while people around them laugh, watch, and seem curious. This light-hearted moment has sparked laughter across the internet, even as the rains continue to create chaos.
The video was shared on Instagram and is titled “Inflatable boat for Gurgaon employee.” A text overlay on the video reads, “When it rains in Delhi,” adding to the humour.
The video was posted on July 10 and has already gathered over 1,96,000 views. It shows the man calmly navigating the flooded street in a small inflatable boat, turning an otherwise stressful situation into a moment of comedy.
People on the internet had all kinds of funny reactions.
A person joked, “Please send me the link for this… need to buy one… I work in Gurgaon. Will also save on commute expenses!”
Another viewer asked, “Door to door hai na, sir??” while someone else commented, “I need to buy this boat as soon as possible.”
A user also remarked in Hindi, “Gurugram aa jayo river rafting ho ri h yaha,” joking that the streets of Gurugram now feel like a river rafting adventure.
While the video brought smiles to many faces, others used the opportunity to call out the poor infrastructure in Delhi-NCR. The flooding has highlighted how the city struggles to manage heavy rainfall every year, with roads becoming rivers and traffic coming to a standstill.
On July 10, Delhi faced two major problems at once — heavy flooding and an earthquake. Many parts of Delhi-NCR were underwater after nonstop rain from Wednesday night to Thursday morning, causing serious traffic jams and chaos on the roads.
As people were already dealing with waterlogged streets, an earthquake hit the region on Thursday morning, adding to the stress. With both disasters happening back-to-back, many people turned to social media to share their feelings using memes, jokes, and funny posts.
