Silly and stupid stuff that make life colourful and cheery
After many many years our road that was a torturous trail, was fixed. A black shiny tar road with a smooth surface greeted us on a Monday morning. Young kids did roller skating, underaged teens did wheelies, drivers parked happily and slept. Then the skies fell. HAL dug up the entire road so that its overhead HT power cable may go underground. Blessed am I to have a darshan of what a real road will…
The red shiny Volvo bus was parked right in the middle of road with a green (olive?) branch jutting out of its rear. Unmindful of the long line of backed up vehicles on a busy weekday morning, it waited peacefully for its partner to come and tie the knot. So that it can be towed! Just another idiotic sight in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (8)
Engrossed in a giggly, lovely-dovey conversation on the mobile, she crossed the busy road, in a casual measured mode, looking down deliberately so that motorists cannot do anything, but compelled to stop. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (7)
Sitting majestically on the humungous Harley, he revved up. No amount of thump could move the traffic in front of him. His neighbours on smaller bikes honked and honked. Powerful intent can move mountains, but the shrill horns or deep roar cannot move the Bangalore traffic jam! Just another idiot and many anothers in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (6)
He took his work very seriously. After all he was feeding the world. He sped on the wrong side of the road, lights in high beam mode blinding my eyes as I slowly cycled up the flyover. A Swiggy guy delivering food. “I ride on the wrong side, I know you chideI ride rash, I know you would like to thrashFor I feed the souls terribly hungrySo my friend, don’t be angryFor delivery is my…
As I cycled to office today through the torturous morning traffic, I saw them on the other side of the road. A couple on a black Hero cycle, with the lady at back, happily chatting and enjoying their ‘doubles ride’ on the right most lane, unmindful of the cacophony on other side. Beautiful sight, don’t you think? #sillyconCity (4)
As I pushed my cycle on the pavement, I was solicited from behind. Staccato honking as if somebody is communicating in morse code. As I turned back, I was assaulted by the arrogant strong fragrance. Svelte she was, on the bright coloured scooter, riding on the pavement in a tearing hurry to jump the massive jam on the ITPL road. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. “I come from the world of code, where…
Handsome he was. Stylishly riding the shiny bike. Many brands adorning his Adonis body. A beneficiary of the dollar-Re disparity, the laptop bag carelessly slung over his shoulder. Another guy in the IT sector in Bangalore. Without a care, he just rode through the red traffic light at the signal, endangering others. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (2)
Their hands touched innocuously when they were riding. Temperature spiked, their eyes locked and oblivious to traffic around them, they were engaged in a passionate conversation loudly. A crowd formed behind them, curious. A shrill melody of honks followed like the 21-gun salute! Don’t let your imagination go riot! This is the daily kiss that happens between motorists on the crowded old airport road in Bangalore! Who says BLR roads are stressful ? Commute by cycle…
