7 things to do while being stuck in a traffic jam on flooded roads
Rainy season is directly proportional to traffic jams, be it in the metros or in small towns. Here we tell you how you can productively spend that time stuck in the jams.
There are few things worse than being stuck in a traffic jam. Add incessant rain to it, it becomes the worst thing to happen to you on a working day. Having said that, we do appreciate the romantic weather the monsoons bring with it, even if we don't appreciate all the hot jalebi-pakoda cravings.
Killing time when you are stuck in your car for hours — think 1-hour Noida-Gurgaon drive that takes over six hours — would be far easier if you try some of these things to do.
1. Clear your mailbox
13,765 Unread notification in your mailbox is not a pretty sight. You have plenty of time to kill, so open, read, delete mails and clear trash from your life.
If you have time left after this, go to your phone's gallery and delete all those lame Whatsapp forward messages. You'll thank us later.

2. Learn to solve a Rubik's Cube
First step in solving a problem is accepting that there is a problem. Rubik's Cube is one such problem in most of our lives. Since childhood. Why not put this time to good use and learn to solve this infuriating puzzle.
3. Say hello to Charlie Chaplin
Phone companies are shoving superfast 4G down your throat and you're not using it? Go to YouTube, search for Charlie Chaplin. yes, the same funny guy with the Hitler moustache. Search Laurel and Hardy, or even the Three Stooges. Lot's of free content out there and it's far better than listening to the uncouth man blaring his horn behind you.
4. Exercise
Let us accept the fact that we don't get enough time to workout. You're in office nine hours at least. Okay, sometimes even 12 hours (you workoholic), and you spend four hours driving to and from office. Why not use the time you're going to waste inside the car to do some sitting exercises?

5. Cry
Yes. Cry it out. You have been keeping it all inside for a while now and you know it is okay to cry regardless of gender and age (like that ad tells you: ladke bhi rotey hain). It is pouring, people are engrossed in themselves or their phones, just cry the heck out. Again, you will thank us later. Raindrops and teardrops go well together.
6. Be a Snapchat star (but learn how to use it first)
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and even Vine is passe. Snapchat is where the world is and you can be there too. Get the app and start posting, figuring out the intricacies as you go. You never know, you might be the next big thing on social media.
7. Shop
Treat yourself to a nice pair of jeans and a cool hat, maybe? Okay, that might not be your thing, but the point is that you have enough time to scan through various shopping applications. Also, why not put a smile on your partner's (or parents') face by choosing what you know they love the most, and you have plenty of time to make the perfect choice.
