The Indian Paragliding Guy meme features Vipin Sahu, whose 2019 viral video captured him in a state of sheer terror while paragliding in Khajjiar, Himachal Pradesh. Throughout the flight, Vipin hilariously pleads with his instructor to land, even offering a 500-rupee bribe to end the ordeal. His famous lines like 'Bhai land kara de' and 'Main pagal tha jo yahan aaya' quickly became cultural shorthand for instant regret and overwhelming anxiety. The meme is widely used to illustrate situations where someone enthusiastically jumps into a new experience—like a job, a relationship, or a crypto investment—only to immediately realize they are way out of their league and want an emergency exit.
