We have a yearly ritual in summer. This happens when the KRS dam becomes dry and river flow from Cauvery is constrained to the neighbouring state. A bunch of senior folks from the centre take a big stick and measure the level of water in a remote place to appease the folks from two states. The rituals of sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#89)
Philosopher
This city is amazing, for it changes you into a philosopher. When you drive/ride, you understand that there is no right or wrong. When you hear about the woes of EMIs from people, you understand there is no rich or poor. When you see the behaviour of educated people, then you know that education is maya. The amazing folks of sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#88)
Green
The folks in our city are very green. After all we are the garden city. That is why we stick up a bunch of leaves/small branch to a broken down vehicle. That is why we dispose garbage anywhere for it composts. That is why we unzip anywhere to fertilise the soil. The amazing folks of sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#87)

Weekend rides
He saw his flabby paunch in the mirror. Then he saw the lean and curvy cycle in the store. The bike lured him. He got her home and decked her up(with accessories). They went together for a few weekends on rides for IVC (Idly-Vada-Coffee) in the hallis(villages). Then he saw the handsome hulk. Now he goes far away for the same IVC on the highway. They have bonded well, for they both look the same. …
Gamification
Teacher gives project. Parent is busy doing it. Child is busy playing a multiplayer game. Teacher gives 5 stars. Child communicates this to the parent. The parent who did it is happy, takes a pic and posts it. Child continues playing the multi-player game. The end. Life in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#84)

Racing to ICU
Behind every emergency vehicle is an aspiring F1 racer or a MotoGP. When they hear the siren-wailing vehicle, they latch on to it and zip. Some of them give company to the patient in the ICU. Just a lot of idiots in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#80)
