Park time
While walking in the park Saturday evening I noticed that a small kid was busy playing, well on the mobile. After all, the park is in the sillycon city, no! #sillyconCity(175)
sillycon cleanliness
On a beautiful chilly December early morning, she came out of her house and emptied the dirty bucket containing garbage on the other side of a road opposite her house. Just a few minutes ago, she had washed the frontage of her house and put a lovely ‘kolam’. sillycon cleanliness! #sillyconCity(173)
Sec 144
Sec 144 implies not more than four people can congregate. We in sillyconCIty are just brilliant, we congregate in hundreds by driving, in a jam! #sillyconCity(172)
Veiled
All young women near my office, a major IT/college corridor walk on the pavement with faces fully covered by thin cloth, with eyes looking down. Well that is the only way they can protect their faces from dust and yet read their mobile! It is silica everywhere in sillyconCity! #sillyconCity (171)
A beautiful morning
A lovely chilly early morning in namma Bengaluru today. A crow was perched on the electric wire facing the gently rising warm sun. The road below was starting to get busy. Was he amused at the frenetic pace of humans below? He nodded his head and looked up to enjoy the glorious sun, while his partner glid gracefully and drew circles in the sky. The beautiful winter mornings in sillyconCity. Enjoy it! #sillyconCity (170)
Footpath parking

Road-nalli park madethera car hallagethu alva?” (means “I know Sir, but what to do? If I park on the road my car will get…
Poda, onnoda doo
When we were young and fell out with a friend we used to say in Tamil “Poda, onnoda Doo. Pesamattain. Nee en friend illai” meaning “Go man, you are not my friend anymore. Will not talk to you” and a day later, it would be forgotten! namma sillyconCity politicians are like children. Friends before election, ‘Doo after’, again friends before by-election! Cho sweet no !:-) #sillyconCity (168)
A lovely canopy
As I go to office doing the peak traffic hours of morning, I am stuck in the traffic on Old Airport Road. Lovely it is to be under the canopy of trees that is a brilliant green arch all the way ahead. A lovely cool weather with a mild sun streaming through the leaves makes it a bliss. Oh some idiots honk so that the sound waves may move the car ahead. But I am…
Realisation
namma Bengaluru is a blessed place where the physical and virtual meet. When physical cars & people are stuck in a traffic jam the mobile signal is also stuck. A city of realisation. #sillyconCity (165)
