A young Doberman walked by his master had his both ears fully plastered. When I asked as to what the issue was he said “He is a show dog, to ensure he can win the dog shows, surgery has been done to keep his ears perked up”. He continued that this is how the breeder gave him. Damn the consumerism that breeds dog cruelty in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#127)
Good samaritan
During my cycle commute I noticed a blind man waiting to cross the wide section of Old Airport Road dear the Command Hospital. An app-based taxi ahead of me stopped close to him, the driver got out and helped the blind man cross the road. Yes, there are good drivers too in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#129)
Happy dogs
Near my house is a 3-legged Huskie dog, a handsome happy fellow. When the master was walking the dog, I asked him how he lost one of his front legs. He said he ran away into the main road when the gate was accidentally left open and was hit by a motor vehicle. He rushed him a doctor and had to amputate his leg. Now he has another dog for company and both of are…
Don’t drink, drive
Google maps voice navigation said:“In 200m, continue straight, go past Srinivas wines to stay on Mysore road” Good advice for sillycon city citizens. #sillyconCity (#126)
Work while driving
Bet you know work-from-home, but do you work-while-driving? Saw an IT guy in namma sillycon city today evening responding to an email on his mobile while driving the car on a busy road. I knocked on his window and told him not to kill others by working so hard. Dangerous idiots in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#125)
Out of town
On election day, the roads were empty as namma citizens relaxed, going out of town for vacation. On result day, the roads are empty too as namma citizens were working from home, glued to TV. Work-life balance in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#124)
Stop anywhere
The gentleman in the cement truck slowed and stopped in the middle of road, took out his mobile phone and called the customer for directions. Another gentleman sped away on his bike at the red stop light only to stop and pay his obeisance to the statue of God on the roadside. They were very mindful of the traffic jam they caused, well they just observed without any reaction. Amazing people on the roads…
Cleanup
It is amazing what namma citizens dispose off on the road. At the start of summer season it was sofa, then mattress and now a commode. Jeez, serious spring cleaning. Some amazing people in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#122)
Slice of heaven
Cool breeze, fresh earthy smell, a calm green all round. Road filled with walkers, runners, skateboarders, cyclists, happy dogs, flocks of pigeons. Just bursting with joyous positive energy. A typical Sunday morning at Cubbon Park at namma Bengaluru. An slice of heaven in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#121)
Mobile messaging
It is not just motor bikers & car drivers who message while riding, saw roller skaters at Cubbon park also doing the same while skating. Now I get it. When you are mobile you gotta use the mobile. The mobile idiots in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#120)
