A student from Pasarani village of Satara, Maharashtra, in Wai taluka, cut a striking figure when he took an unusual route to reach his college just in time for his exam. With traffic on the Wai-Panchgani road, he took to paragliding to save himself. A viral social media video captures him soaring through the skies with his backpack, making a spectacular entrance within the exam venue.
Full Story of the Student
The student, Samarth Mahangade of Satara district, apparently put himself in a difficult situation on examination day. He had to remember about his previous test while having other engagements in Panchgani. With hardly 15-20 minutes and traffic already building in Pasarani Ghat, getting to his college within that time frame was declared impossible.
. These specialists could react quickly and think outside the box, finally coming up with the brilliant idea of paragliding over the traffic-jammed ghat to ensure Samarth arrived punctually.
Supervised by seasoned instructors on courses, Samarth then took the plunge over the horrible traffic and landed near his college exactly at the appointed time. The footage of his airborne journey has since gone viral, drawing wider admiration for his quick thinking and the effortful nature of the sports team.
Buzz in the Social Media Circuit Amid Traffic Woes
The footage captivated social media users, who stroked up praise for Samarth’s tenacity and smiled at the creative idea of the adventure sports experts. Many have also started talking about the never-ending traffic problem of the Pasarani Ghat segment that usually hampers commuting for both tourists and locals.
Even though Samarth’s paragliding was an extravagant emergency response, it only emphasizes the real need there is for proper traffic regulation in Maharashtra.
