Silly and stupid stuff that make life colourful  and cheery

20kms = A movie

Boarding the Volvo bus to home, he sat down and plugged the mobile charger into power socket above.  Next he filled his ears with in-ear microphones. Settling into the seat comfortably, he was all set for the evening’s cinematic experience. 20km, 2:30minutes, ONE movie. Just another idiotic commute in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#19)

Manual lights

The automatic traffic lights were on and everything was smooth. The morning duty traffic police came and switched the lights to manual control. Then the traffic jams happened.  Just another idiotic thing in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#18)

New age apps

He took the Ola to work. A late day at office and tired of navigating the traffic to home, he went to an Oyo. To appease the late night hunger it was Zomato. At peace now, he watched a movie thanks to Jio. Next day it was Practo as he was pretty messed up! Long live the mobile! Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#17)

He parks it on the road when not driving and it gets parked amidst the jam en-route to work.  Amazing priority. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#14)

Bottled water

“Bottled or normal water Sir?” asked the waiter at the fancy restaurant. “Bottled” he said and went on to ask for healthy food options for lunch with his team mates. Post work, on the way home, he stopped at the ramshackle pain puri stall  close to the open drain and gorged on the tasty food! Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#13)

A stylish throw

All set for work, he came out of the house with a plastic packet. As he turned around the corner he stylishly threw the packet. It landed with thud, split open and spewed the smelly contents. Seated comfortably in the Volvo bus to work, he click ‘Like’ on the post with the hash tag Swachh Bharath. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (12)

Smooth, my a..

Our main road was cemented using British technology (our MLA said that). Oh yes it rocks, for when I rode the 2 km stretch on my road bike, my stiff back loosened and became supple! He was voted for the second term. Just a bunch of idiots in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (11)
