Silly and stupid stuff that make life colourful and cheery
As I cycled, a helmet less scooterist waded in and I shouted, alerting a posse of policeman ahead. The scooterist saw the policeman and slinked behind a vehicle to don his helmet. The policeman briskly walked forward to catch the fellow hiding behind the car. Enjoy the sillyconCity traffic scenes always streaming on a road near you. #sillyconCity (#160)
Driving home from work is akin to experiencing life. The hard labour of push to get past the first signal, then a happy jostle like a kid with a bit of rough and tumble over the flyover. Then like a teenager, I squeeze thro’ a narrow stretch with many vehicles attempting to go forward in the moving jam, before I hit the wide roads, speedy and breezy like mid 30s. A botched up traffic signal…
In this age of extreme personalisation, our corporation is making personal lakes by an ingenious combination of existing roads that form craters and new roads made with special dips. These are called ‘micro kere’. When it rains, you get your personal lakes close to the place where you live. Vive la ‘micro kere’ in namma sillyconCIty . #sillyconCity (#158)‘kere’ means lake in Kannada.
A drunken man with a dangling beedi staggers across a busy road. A disabled man in a wheelchair carefully navigates the same busy road. A young kid helps her mother with a young baby cross the road. A dog darts rapidly to the other side. The motor biker from wrong side rapidly cuts into the right side. The car honks and the bus blares. I just watch the fun, while riding the cycle. Crossings in…
They dug up majority of roads in the city and hastily covered it. Then a bunch of people went to resorts and hastily a new govt came in. Some people said there were underground dealings. Aah, now I get it, the connection between digging and rigging. Politics of sillyconCity. #sillyconCity (#156)
I was so shackled by the freedom on our namma Bengaluru roads on Aug 15. Jeez, my vehicle kept on moving and I could see the entire road all the way. Holiday in sillyconCity. #sillyconCity (#155)
As he took a deep drag on his third cigarette for the day, he tapped his fitness watch and figured that he was done with 6000 steps. “Just two smoke breaks and I will meet my fitness goal of 10000 steps” he said. Jeez, fitness is smokin’ in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#147)
In my locality, after a long time, we had roads. A public sector company decided to change their high voltage overhead line to underground. BWSSB (water company) decided to split the roads in the centre of many roads to lay new pipes. Now it is craters everywhere and we are back to living in the place we came from. The moon. High living in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#153)
As a young boy at school he was very happy when some famous person died, as the school declared holiday. Now as an adult, when he went his office (legislative assembly), his leader said we are all going for a picnic to resort. Don’t you love sillycon city, where childhood is never lost? #sillyconCity (#152)
How I wish I was a politician today in namma sillycon state. Oh, the joy of relaxing in the resort, playing cricket, eating good food, no emails or phone and granted permission by the Supreme court to skip Vidhana Soudha for work. Sakkath aaram in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#151)
