Amid the chaos brought on by Cyclone Fengal, a man in Chennai turned a rainy day into an unforgettable adventure for his grandchildren. As the streets flooded with heavy rains, the creative grandfather found a fun way to keep his grandkids entertained. A heartwarming video of the trio enjoying their time together has now gone viral.
In the viral clip, the front yard of the house is submerged in floodwater as the grandfather creatively tows an inflatable raft with his two grandchildren aboard, using his scooter. The video shows him skillfully navigating the waterlogged area, even driving in circles on his electric scooter.
The children were seen cheering as they splashed around in the inflatable raft, clearly enjoying the unique ride. A family member’s voice can be heard in the background, reminding the kids not to touch the muddy water. This moment was reportedly captured before Cyclone Fengal made landfall along the Puducherry-Tamil Nadu coast on November 30.
While sharing the video on X, a user wrote, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade (from Kodambakkam, Chennai, after the recent downpour.)”

The heartwarming bond between the grandfather and his grandchildren has resonated deeply with many, with one user commenting, “Grandfather is grandchildren’s first friend and grandchildren are grandfather’s last.” While referring to PM Modi’s statement, “Aapda Mein avsar (Opportunity in Adversity),” several users reacted to the post, saying, “This is true example of ‘Aapda mein avsar’.”
