Forget paying bills, adulting really is all about getting through traffic patiently! And, if you, like me, just don’t know what to do when your auto wale bhaiya stops for 6979th time at the signal then watch these amazing short films. It’ll give you something to do till you wait for your public transport to move thoda aage! 

Riveting story, relatable characters and not too long for you to wait till EOD to complete it, they will distract you perfectly!
