Pune: Amidst traffic chaos, memes on social media come to the rescue as stress buster 

Pune residents spent, on an average, 28 minutes traveling every 10 kilometers in the previous year. It takes about 45 minutes to travel from Kothrud to Hinjewadi (16 km approx.), and it takes about the same amount of time to return. This is also the average distance that most people would travel each day to get to their places of employment. Other than traffic gridlock and irritated drivers causing delay. 

Therefore, Punekars are united with a constant “ye kya ho raha hai” expression when it comes to traffic on University Road, Sinhagad Road, Khadki, or Kharadi. You may have different opinions about everything else in the world.

As per further information from the X handle of user Arjun “Good morning Pune traffic.”

Another user Sahil tweeted “When you are in a kal pakka office time pe pohochunga competition and your opponent is pune university traffic.”

Another user Pune Traffic tweeted “Which traffic jam are you stuck in this Saturday evening?”

Another user Deepali Chavan tweeted “The circle of life – that day when there was a celestial conspiracy to make me take the Pune university circle! Glad I carried my dinner, water, etc.”

According to a resident of Pune, if one travels along University Road every day, especially during rush hour, they will become proficient in Zen meditation within a few days.

According to another resident of Pune, when stuck in traffic, one can witness the full range of human emotions among other drivers, from stoic acceptance to full-blown existential screaming (albeit within).

Activities to do when backed up in traffic:

·         Take a listen to your preferred podcast’s episode.

·         Finish a long work call.

·         Life’s muse.

·         Consider carefully before choosing to walk through traffic.

·         Make a sweater.

·         If you’re not driving, watch one or two episodes of your favorite show.

·         If you’re not driving, make up for lost sleep as well.

·         Repeat thirty times, “Amchya kalat Pune asa nhavta,” meaning “Pune wasn’t like this during our time.”
