Bangalore is a pioneer in creating cycling lanes. They identified many roads in Jayanagar and drew a white line. Voila, cycling lanes were created. Just another idiotic stuff in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#59)
De-silting
Before the rainy season, the drains are opened and de-silted. The silt is stacked up on the roadside so that they can go back in when rains commence.After all, silt needs fresh air too. Life in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#58)
New car
He bought a new car. And then Scratch Guard. And 3-year additional maintenance. And leather trim. And fog lights. Now he does Uber/Metro, thanks to the amazing Bangalore traffic. Amazing people of sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#57)
Photo archive
They met after a long time over dinner. At the end was the customary photo session. They asked a waiter to take picture. He obliged. One more, they said. He obliged. Then each one gave their phone to the waiter. He knew he had to do ‘one more’ on each one. Then they all went into the Instagram/Facebook archive. Life in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#56)
Game of bakra
He just did not care about the red signal. Helmet in his hand, he stylishly turned left. The posse of policemen welcomed him. They loved the game of bakra. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#55)
Great peace
There is great peace in every house today. Each member is in a corner engrossed with their mobile phone. The only welcome disturbance is Swiggy. Life in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#54)
Awaiting orders
It was a popular food place. There was a big crowd outside. Well, they were the Swiggy folks waiting for a message on their phone for a new order. Life in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#53)
Cubbon Sundays
Sunday morning at Cubbon Park Bangalore is just wonderful. Young kids wobbling on their new roller blades, happy dogs running around, cheerful runners and cyclists, happy walkers of all ages, fantastic cool weather, and some event or other happening. Just a whole of positivity and cheer. Possibly the only time & place where the mobile phone is forgotten. The lovely life in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#52)
Change dot org
He was upset about global warming, with the summer season turning out be super hot. He was a modern dude. Sitting in his air-conditioned room, he fired up the computer and opened change dot org on his browser to collect signatures. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#51)
Protection
He valued his gadgets and protected them well – tablet sleeve, laptop bag, mobile case, case for shades, bike cover. For his head, he bought the bright yellow hard top hat. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#50)
