He revelled in jay asking as he thought pavement was for wimps. When a biker crashed into him, he saw the poster “Jesus loves you” near the headlight as he lay prostrate on the ground. Yeah right, he thought. The biker helped him get up and then he saw the poster on rear mudguard “Jesus is coming”. Damn, the stickers were placed wrongly. Stupid jays in sillycon city, pray you don’t bump into them. #sillyconCity…

Now the authorities decided that this was too much and installed large digital screens all over the park to beam images of nature and advertisements. The transformation from…
My good friend took early retirement and moved to a place near a hill station. Every morning as I am busy getting to work, he posts me pictures of his morning jaunts – beautiful streams, lovely forest greenery and majestic mountains. Unable to able do anything, stuck in a gridlock breathing noxious air, I post him pictures of traffic jams, garbage mounds and videos of honking vehicles.

Like every year, the city administration counted potholes and fixed them. Like every year the city administration de-silted drains and readied them for monsoon.
