He rode the bike at high speed clutching the helmet safely in his hand. After all he was a stud with ‘Studds’ proudly printed on his helmet. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#40)
Stare
Once upon a time, everyone stared at posters of beautiful women/handsome men. Now beautiful women & handsome men stare at them from the first floor glass walled gym as they await the green signal (at the traffic light). Life in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#39)
Sand-tan
Have you noticed that the young women in Bangalore have become very coy and demure by covering their face completely? Much more than a simple pallu. Well, they don’t want sand-tan. Life in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#38)
Puppy
He saw the cute and cuddly St Bernard pup. He swiped the card and bought the fellow home. It was great fun for the next few weeks. After a couple of months when St Bernard outgrew the house, the master was at his wits end. He bundled the dog into his car, drove to the edge of the city and dumped him. Just another senseless idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#37)
Early morning
A typical early morning in my neighbourhood park.The male senior citizens walk round and round discussing current politics. The senior female citizens sit on the bench busy talking to their daughters abroad over whatapp. The middle aged ladies exchange notes on local house politics. The younger generation, well they are enjoying their sleep. Life in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#36)
Friday night ritual
He was all set for the Friday night ritual. Drink merrily. Eat horribly. Puke terribly. Take the Ola home post midnight and get up on Sunday. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#34)
Roadside relief
On a hot sunny afternoon, the cab driver parked his car on the service road, opposite my house, faced the main road and relieved himself. A thorough gentleman he was, for we only heard the audio, he spared us the video. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#33)
Phone the neighbour
The neighbour’s water tank was leaking, as the motor was not switched off. He picked up the phone and let him know that it was leaking. The voice travelled many hundreds of kilometres wirelessly to reach the neighbour, a few feet away. The high life of sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#32)
Celebration
He was relieved that he made it to the morning meeting at office. He was relieved that the Ola guy showed up so that he could visit the customer. He was relieved that he made it to the airport on time. In the sillycon city reaching a destination is a celebration. The high life of sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#31)
The cow
The cow was plonked in the middle of a road. The guy in the car honked and honked. It peacefully chewed the cud and swatted flies with the tail. Frustrated, he did not know what to do. He took his mobile and opened Google… Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#30)
