"What happened last night has left me completely shattered. As most of you know, the weather yesterday was brutal, it poured relentlessly for nearly 4 hours. I live near Golf Course Road, the area known for its upscale high-rises like DLF Camellias, where homes are sold for Rs 100 crore. But even here, this is the harsh reality of Gurugram," the woman captioned her post.
"When I returned from work, I found my car half-submerged in water. But what truly broke me was what I found inside my home. This is my home. A home I had carefully and lovingly set up after I moved in. Everything that was on the floor, furniture, belongings -- was floating, soaked, and destroyed," she added, recounting the ordeal.
"I have no words left. Just pain. Just disbelief. This is not just water damage. It's emotional damage. And it's real."
