Yesterday I saw a ‘Bounce’ rental-scooter discarded unmercifully on an un-tarred small side road. I pulled it up, put in on stand and discovered that its silencer was broken. Have seen ‘Yulu’ cycle discarded in ditches, near garbage dump, sometimes with no seat. Dear people of sillycon city, treat this as ‘namma’ items, with love and respect. #sillyconCity (#131)

Stuck in typical Monday morning traffic on Old Airport Road, the beautiful canopy of trees near HAL police station were lovely. The tentacles like branches seemed to hug me and the streaming sunlight between leaves caressed me. Yes, there are pockets of beauty in the maddening traffic of namma sillycon city. Enjoy them. #sillyconCity (#130)

During my cycle commute I noticed a blind man waiting to cross the wide section of Old Airport Road dear the Command Hospital.

Near my house is a 3-legged Huskie dog, a handsome happy fellow. When the master was walking the dog, I asked him how he lost one of his front legs. He said he ran away into the main road when the gate was accidentally left open and was hit by a motor vehicle. He rushed him a doctor and had to amputate his leg. Now he has another dog for company and both of are…
Google maps voice navigation said:“In 200m, continue straight, go past Srinivas wines to stay on Mysore road” Good advice for sillycon city citizens. #sillyconCity (#126)
Bet you know work-from-home, but do you work-while-driving? Saw an IT guy in namma sillycon city today evening responding to an email on his mobile while driving the car on a busy road. I knocked on his window and told him not to kill others by working so hard. Dangerous idiots in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#125)
