Wondering how there could be a jam in the middle of a jungle, we asked someone, and they told us that an elephant was standing right on the road.

Until it moved, no one could pass. We were sitting quietly in our vehicle, but the driver of a car in front lost his patience. After waiting for a long time, he pulled out of the line and tried to quickly cross ahead. The elephant turned around, swung its trunk, and hit the car, sending it flying away. Then, the elephant turned towards the rest of the traffic and started charging. All the cars slowly shifted into reverse, driving backward for nearly five miles, while the elephant chased us down the road.

Finally, the forest rangers managed to divert it, and the elephant returned to his mate."Abhishek shares his dream of owning his own house and staying with parents and sister happily.Moving ahead in the game, Abhishek gets stuck while answering the question for Rs 50,000.
