Imagine having to go somewhere. You have a few other family members along with you and you have quite a bit of luggage to carry. What do you do? Some of us would probably get a cab. But there are those who choose to get a little more creative.
Video of a man giving a ride to 6 people, 2 dogs, and a lot of heavy luggage on his bike has gone viral. Among the 6 people, 5 are kids and one is a woman so probably it is one large family. This makes me think – do these things exclusively happen in India?
This blows my mind on so many different levels:
1) Everyone on the bike is helmetless.
2) Is a dog even supposed to be riding a bike, let alone two?
3) How are the tyres even working?!
4) What is that background music even?

What’s even funnier is that netizens had some interesting reactions but none of them was about how this is a major case of road safety violation!
I feel jealous. It is dangerous. But such bond between family members. Poor still sticking together. I would like see how many days anyone who mock could tolerate such hardships and stick together. Even with millions some cant keep there family thst tight.

This just goes on to show that Indians value jugaad more than anything! Oh, and also that our regards for basic traffic rules and road safety is defunct at best.
