Teri pooja karoon mein toh har dam!

The pressure cooker in many Indian kitchens is suddenly facing a different kind of pressure. Across the country, people are lining up for LPG cylinders, refreshing delivery apps, and calling their gas agencies again and again. But while the shortage is causing real stress in homes, the internet is doing what it does best; turning the chaos into comedy.

From viral reels about cooking on “imaginary gas” to memes about switching back to ancient chulhas, Indians are laughing their way through a growing LPG supply crunch that has suddenly become the talk of the town.

As always, the internet is trying to deal with the situation in its own funny way. Memes about hiding LPG cylinders like treasure and guarding them like gold are everywhere.

Some videos joke that people will soon start cooking on candles or borrow gas from neighbours like they borrow sugar.

Still, for many homes, LPG is not something people can joke about for long. Families depend on it every day to cook meals. Everyone is hoping the supply improves soon so kitchens can go back to normal.

Until then, people will keep standing in queues, and the internet will keep making memes about it.
