All about silicon city – namma Bengaluru
On election day, the roads were empty as namma citizens relaxed, going out of town for vacation. On result day, the roads are empty too as namma citizens were working from home, glued to TV. Work-life balance in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#124)
The gentleman in the cement truck slowed and stopped in the middle of road, took out his mobile phone and called the customer for directions. Another gentleman sped away on his bike at the red stop light only to stop and pay his obeisance to the statue of God on the roadside. They were very mindful of the traffic jam they caused, well they just observed without any reaction. Amazing people on the roads…
It is amazing what namma citizens dispose off on the road. At the start of summer season it was sofa, then mattress and now a commode. Jeez, serious spring cleaning. Some amazing people in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#122)
Cool breeze, fresh earthy smell, a calm green all round. Road filled with walkers, runners, skateboarders, cyclists, happy dogs, flocks of pigeons. Just bursting with joyous positive energy. A typical Sunday morning at Cubbon Park at namma Bengaluru. An slice of heaven in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#121)
It is not just motor bikers & car drivers who message while riding, saw roller skaters at Cubbon park also doing the same while skating. Now I get it. When you are mobile you gotta use the mobile. The mobile idiots in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#120)
A massive jam is on the main with frenetic honking. The two people walking on the service road greet each other “Yen Saar, Aarama”. (“All well Sir?”) This is what I love about our namma city. The beautiful greeting in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#119)
A young couple walk with hands intertwined on the main road. I love the confidence of our citizens. I love the respect the drivers have for them. They honk only at the other fellow drivers, never at this lovey-dovey couple. Love is not pedestrian in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#118)

namma Bengaluru is a fantastic place for endurance training. The traffic ensures long times to be logged, the bone-ratting surface strengthens joints, jams help you generate high power, crossing the road makes you agile, honks zone you and gets you into the empty zone, high pollution ensures you are training with low oxygen(kinda like high altitude training), the continuous dodging of anyone coming opposite you ensures making navigation skill a habit. Training the sillycon way….
