Picture this: You’re travelling with your homies to a gorgeous destination, perhaps on a tour bus or in a cable car, and you break into an impromptu antakshari sesh! Jamming to classic Hindi tunes, the journey becomes a concert on wheels! A solo traveller recently got the opportunity to witness a group of desi aunties singing loudly in a cable car in Vietnam. Even in his wildest dreams, he didn’t expect to bag a free concert with his ropeway ride to Golden Bridge.
Desi Aunties Start Jamming During Cable Car Ride In Vietnam
Instagrammer Max Leijs was shocked to witness an impromptu concert mid-air during a cable car ride to Vietnam’s iconic Golden Bridge in Ba Na Hill. A group of desi aunties spontaneously broke off to song after song making the journey to the 150-m-long bridge a musical one. In no time, one of them even started grooving much to the amazement of the foreigner.

“I’m too awkward for this situation,” he broke into a soft smile. But which was his personal favourite song? It’s our favourite too— the Lata Mangeshkar classic, Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Ye. We must admit that Max certainly has good taste in music! “Who needs radio?” he asked in his caption as the group behind him, continued to sing Lag Ja Gale. Throughout the long cable car journey to Golden Bridge, the jamming session ensued, loudly without a care in the world. Towards the end, the solo traveller wished he could join them too.
Netizens Joke About Foreigner Getting “Indianified”
The reel reposted by imjustbesti garnered over 1 lakh likes with desi Netizens chuckling at the solo traveller’s plight. Group singing, antakshari, and dumb charades are essential to being a good desi traveller. And this foreign tourist just got a taste of desi culture in its rawest form. pollalunkti_s hilariously asked in the comments section if he booked with Kesari Tours.
Another commenter joked about Max being invited to a kitty party next. rashi_choudhary rightly comments, “Indian aunty rocks keeps foreigner in shocks.” Others joked about the Instagrammer being “Indianified”. Some could even identify themselves with their besties in this situation 25 years later.
