Silly and stupid stuff that make life colourful and cheery
A massive jam is on the main with frenetic honking. The two people walking on the service road greet each other “Yen Saar, Aarama”. (“All well Sir?”) This is what I love about our namma city. The beautiful greeting in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#119)
A young couple walk with hands intertwined on the main road. I love the confidence of our citizens. I love the respect the drivers have for them. They honk only at the other fellow drivers, never at this lovey-dovey couple. Love is not pedestrian in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#118)

The traffic ensures long times to be logged, the bone-ratting surface strengthens joints, jams help you generate high power, crossing the road makes you agile, honks zone you and gets you into the empty zone, high pollution ensures you are training with low oxygen(kinda like high altitude training), the continuous dodging of anyone coming opposite you ensures making navigation skill a habit. Training the sillycon way….

Snorting does not get you out of a traffic jam. On a return commute to home, at a busy and jammed junction, a Thar Jeep guy who has done up his vehicle for rough riding revved his engine multiple times in the faint hope of getting through. Well , snorting did get him ahead. I wiggle though and get much ahead of him. Later he is at my tail again, snorting, I smile and wiggle…

The original “Serenity prayer”God grant us…
