New Delhi,Oct 15, 2026 16:27 ISTSupreme Court senior advocate Sanjay R Hegde shared a video capturing several individuals attempting to walk up a downward-moving escalator, with one commuter in a yellow kurta showing notable determination to reach the top. posted to his official account on the social media platform X, the footage displays a crowded public escalator descending while multiple people try to ascend against the mechanical flow. The descending steps make the physical effort tedious and slow, requiring the commuters to advance carefully one step at a time.
A particular man wearing a light yellow kurta stood out for his persistent effort. Bending forward and extending his arms for stability, he battled against the downward movement to push upward while others around him either retreated downward or paused to observe the strange scene.
The circulating clip attracted various lighthearted comments from online users. One viewer humorously suggested the man was training for an ascent of Mount Everest, while another joked that the public had inadvertently set up a communal treadmill inside a railway station.
Another commenter shared a personal memory from roughly two decades prior when they were 18 years old, confessing that they had similarly tried the feat and successfully reached the summit despite acknowledging the foolishness of the stunt.
