Was interesting to hypothesise ‘stages of bonding’ during my evening walks in nearby parks!
Veiled
All young women near my office, a major IT/college corridor walk on the pavement with faces fully covered by thin cloth, with eyes looking down. Well that is the only way they can protect their faces from dust and yet read their mobile! It is silica everywhere in sillyconCity! #sillyconCity (171)
A beautiful morning
A lovely chilly early morning in namma Bengaluru today. A crow was perched on the electric wire facing the gently rising warm sun. The road below was starting to get busy. Was he amused at the frenetic pace of humans below? He nodded his head and looked up to enjoy the glorious sun, while his partner glid gracefully and drew circles in the sky. The beautiful winter mornings in sillyconCity. Enjoy it! #sillyconCity (170)
Hiring BOTS
“MasterCard begins hunt for AI talent” says the article headline boldly. Wow, companies interviewing BOTS I thought, only to realise the brilliantly poor choice of phrase by the journalist 🙂 #sillyconFeelings (7)
Forever BOT
May you live forever they said to him. So he installed an answer BOT on his website & social media so that he could respond to all after his death. #sillyconFeelings (6)
Woes
“Bharti Airtel likely to roll out VoWiFi services this month” says a news article in Economic Times today. Yes, with all the payment ‘woes’ from Govt, it is only natural to roll out ‘VoWiFi’ 🙂 #sillyconFeelings (5)
Oh, Onions
We all know that tears happen when you cut onions. With onion prices now touching the sky, tears fall even when you see it -:) . #sillyconFeelings (4)
Footpath parking
During my morning walk, I noticed a guy park his SUV on the street with tyres over the footpath over fragile slabs of the drain. When I told that he is endangering walkers to walk on the road and also by breaking the slabs, he said “Gothu saar, but en maduvathu? Road-nalli park madethera car hallagethu alva?” (means “I know Sir, but what to do? If I park on the road my car will get…
The new age food
In olden days during wars, food was cutoff for the enemies to force them to surrender. Now when civil unrest happens, government cuts off mobile internet. The new age food!
Poda, onnoda doo
When we were young and fell out with a friend we used to say in Tamil “Poda, onnoda Doo. Pesamattain. Nee en friend illai” meaning “Go man, you are not my friend anymore. Will not talk to you” and a day later, it would be forgotten! namma sillyconCity politicians are like children. Friends before election, ‘Doo after’, again friends before by-election! Cho sweet no !:-) #sillyconCity (168)
