All about silicon city – namma Bengaluru
The brightly painted pink nails glistened in the sun as she applied lipstick, and smoothened her hair. She then took out the mobile from her purse leisurely to make a call. Lovely sight in namma Bengaluru traffic jam. #sillyconCity(166) Well if I was the fairer sex, I would have noticed handsome hulks stretching, maybe 🙂
Roti,kapda, makhan was the slogan of grand old party in 70-80s. The salubrious city of Bangalore then transformed into a technology hub with PSUs like HAL,BEL,HMT, ISRO and Roti,kapda & makhan happened. In the 90s when we made forays into software, the Founding President of NASSCOM Dewang Mehta added “bandwidth” to the slogan. The pensioner’s paradise became Silicon City. More roti, kapda and makhan happened. When bandwidth became seriously fast and huge, we transformed to…
It looked like a full and rounded rumpJust a signature sillyconCity hump Excited, he mounted it merrilyWith soft hands on handlebar mistakenly Revolted, she threw him into spaceHe just flew and landed flat on his face Kissed the road and painting it valentine redWith a bruised ego, he slinked into hospital bed namma sillyconCity is exciting, enjoy the voluptuous curves just be gentle and grip your hands hard!

Know why namma roads are always dug up for installing new fibre cables? Because we are a sillyconCity, where data rules. It is all about ensuring smooth flow of data below. After all, to know where all you will be stuck, you need the fast connection nah. ‘Connecting people’ in sillyconCity. #sillyconCity (#162)
On a good road, ride quality is directly proportional to tyre psi (i.e. pressure- pounds per square inch). On namma roads, ride quality is inversely proportional to road psi (potholes per square inch). So get your ‘psi’ right, don’t sigh. Road science of sillyconCity. #sillyconCity (#161)
As I cycled, a helmet less scooterist waded in and I shouted, alerting a posse of policeman ahead. The scooterist saw the policeman and slinked behind a vehicle to don his helmet. The policeman briskly walked forward to catch the fellow hiding behind the car. Enjoy the sillyconCity traffic scenes always streaming on a road near you. #sillyconCity (#160)
Driving home from work is akin to experiencing life. The hard labour of push to get past the first signal, then a happy jostle like a kid with a bit of rough and tumble over the flyover. Then like a teenager, I squeeze thro’ a narrow stretch with many vehicles attempting to go forward in the moving jam, before I hit the wide roads, speedy and breezy like mid 30s. A botched up traffic signal…
In this age of extreme personalisation, our corporation is making personal lakes by an ingenious combination of existing roads that form craters and new roads made with special dips. These are called ‘micro kere’. When it rains, you get your personal lakes close to the place where you live. Vive la ‘micro kere’ in namma sillyconCIty . #sillyconCity (#158)‘kere’ means lake in Kannada.
A drunken man with a dangling beedi staggers across a busy road. A disabled man in a wheelchair carefully navigates the same busy road. A young kid helps her mother with a young baby cross the road. A dog darts rapidly to the other side. The motor biker from wrong side rapidly cuts into the right side. The car honks and the bus blares. I just watch the fun, while riding the cycle. Crossings in…
They dug up majority of roads in the city and hastily covered it. Then a bunch of people went to resorts and hastily a new govt came in. Some people said there were underground dealings. Aah, now I get it, the connection between digging and rigging. Politics of sillyconCity. #sillyconCity (#156)
