Bengaluru, the IT hub of India infamous for its packed roads and traffic congestion, witnessed yet another astonishing moment that is in the spotlight. A local resident took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share the quintessential moment of his life. He expressed fascination at the fact that the food he ordered was delivered within minutes while the traffic did not budge along the route.
The viral photos validating the local's experience were enough to create social media buzz. Let's check out what really happened that had garnered netizens' attention.
Explaining the strange incident, the resident named Arpit Arora said that he was stuck in traffic for two hours.

The caption to the post uploaded on November 5 reads, “Peak Bengaluru moment is when you are stuck in traffic for almost two hours so you order dinner from your car and it gets DELIVERED IN 10 MINUTES 😭😭(khana khatam lekin ye traffic nahi).”

The viral post has garnered around 65,000 views and numerous comments. A user satirically remarked, “10 minute me khana bhi deliver ho gaya. Itne jaldi to crush ka reply bhi nahi aata.” Another user shared his experience, “Reminds me of the day when I left a friend’s place in Whitefield at 6 and reached my hotel at 9:30.”
