Imagine this: You wake up late, the exam clock is ticking, and the usual traffic chaos is ready to ruin your day. Most students would panic, call an auto, or pray for a miracle. But not Samarth Maangade! This daredevil from Maharashtra’s Satara district took paragliding to college, turning his morning rush into an adventure straight out of an action movie.
When in Doubt, Fly It Out!
Samarth was in Panchgani when he realized he had an exam in just 15 minutes. With no way to reach his college on time, he had almost given up—until adventure sports expert Govind Yewale came up with an insane plan: Why not paraglide to college?
And just like that, Samarth, wearing full safety gear, jumped off a cliff with a paragliding pilot. A video of his daring journey was shared by Instagram handle @Insta_Satara, and it instantly went viral, amassing 36,000+ likes and countless hilarious reactions.

Internet Reacts: “Bhai, Mountain Dew Liya Kya?”
As expected, netizens had the time of their lives commenting on Samarth’s unusual travel hack. Some of the funniest reactions included:
💬 “His name should be added to the Guinness Book!”
💬 “Did you take Mountain Dew?” (A reference to the drink’s extreme sports marketing)
💬 “He doesn’t know what he’ll write in the exam, it’s a paper!”
