Seeing pictures and receiving updates about the rains in Gurgaon is one thing, but actually being in the thick of things quite another. This time, not only residents but even journalists and the police tweeted about the waterlogging and traffic situation in Gurgaon. Gape at the pictures, smile at the sarcasm and shake your head in dismay at the utter frustration of G-Towners. We bring you their story in tweets.

District administration imposes section 144 in Gurgaon due to excessive waterlogging. #gurgaontraffic #gurgaonrains #Gurgaon

Gurgaon's chowks should be renamed and called chokes now. Examples: Signature Tower Choke, Hero Honda Choke, IFFCO Choke...
