Polished transcript:

Male Female

I was born and raised in India, so being stuck in a traffic jam is a ubiquitous experience here. Since India is the most populated country, being stuck in a traffic jam is a part of most people's lives and routines. I have encountered these experiences several times as I live in one of the most crowded cities in the country. I have been through these hurdles numerous times. For instance, I live near a coastal region that is a popular tourist attraction. So during every weekend, the main road that leads to our residence would be entirely blocked with traffic. You wouldn't even be able to walk, let alone take your car or bike. As an extremely introverted individual, I find this deeply troubling as it constantly reminds me that I am in the middle of a crowd. I don't think there is much that the government could do to curb this, as it mainly depends on the attitude of the people themselves.
