As the Maha Kumbh Mela is underway in Prayagraj, kilometers-long traffic jams are flooding social media. While most people are fuming over the congestion, a few have found a way to inject humor and entertainment into the situation.
A viral video, posted through the Instagram handle @the.sarcastic.house, which captures the travel experience of folks stuck in the traffic jam to Kumbh Mela while they make hay out of what seems like being stuck.
However, they celebrated the moment over a standstill by playing some cards on top of a moving bus.
In the viral video clip, a few people are shown sitting on a bus without paying much attention to the jam. They have unfolded a sheet on which they are engrossed in a card game as their vehicle remains in a long queue. The traffic is moving in both directions of the road and is stationary at the front and back, but instead of becoming impatient, they have turned this waiting time into a fun session.
