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)

All about silicon city – namma Bengaluru
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)
Online food
He had a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant opposite the garbage dump on the side street. The business was barely making ends meet. Now he took pictures of his food and made them look alluring. He peppered the writeup with organic, fresh and halal. Then he registered with the food delivery apps. Now nobody knew where he was and his business grew manyfold. Photoshop transformed his business. His chef continued to dig his nose while cooking. The…
Pavement is for wimps
When the road was white topped, the pavement was also re-done. In the busy evening traffic, he walked happily on the road unmindful that vehicles may accidentally mow him down. After all, old habits die hard. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#28)
Gated communities
On the outskirts of Bangalore are lots of gated communities. Right now they only have gates. The high life of sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#27)
Quick reaction
Traffic lights are fascinating. This is where you see the amazing reaction times of Bangaloreans. Just as the light turns green, honks commence. Just damn quick! These guys should be pilots. The amazing bunch of idiots in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#26)
Payment options
He had all the payment options in his purse and phone – Credit/debit/smart cards, PayTM, PhonePe, BHIM, AirtelMoney,OlaMoney etc. There was just one small problem, he just did not enough money in his bank account. The high life of sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#25)
