This clever play on words combines the famous Northern Lights with the crowded localities of Borivali and Malad, notorious for their traffic jams.

While Goenka's post is undeniably amusing, the traffic chaos isn't exclusive to Mumbai.

Other major metro cities like Bangalore and Delhi also experience similar gridlock, especially during peak office hours.

With a rapidly growing population flocking to these urban hubs in search of opportunities¡ªthanks to the concentration of corporate offices¡ªtraffic jams have become an all-too-common reality.

It's a phenomenon that not only evokes laughter but also resonates with anyone navigating the hustle and bustle of these cities.

How did people respond?

In the comments, users jumped in to play along with the joke.

One commenter quipped, "Sir, we have Southern lights too, also known as Aurora Malabaris Breach Candis.¡±

Another said, "Hahahaha! One side has red lights, the other side white lights. The only similarity is that both sides are trapped in heavy traffic."

A third added humorously, "It also comes with its own sound system, unlike the boring aurora australis and aurora borealis."

To cap it off, another user noted, "Bengaluru people see it every evening and night, lol!"

The playful banter turned the post into a delightful thread of witty observations on urban traffic woes.
