Another Instagram user commented, "That is like 5 inches of water. Torrential rains and monsoons in India wreak havoc and cause lots of waterlogging and flooding; though not common, it does happen infrequently, but it is not dangerous by any means."
"The only thing we Indians are afraid of is our angry mama; everything else can be dealt with," posted Instagram user Abhishek.
A fourth shared, "Loved that you made it only soaking wet. And didn't have to walk through the waters!! Come back on a sunnier day!"
Someone else added, "Toughest and chillest! You worded us right! Our endurance to anything is our strength and weakness."
