The weather of namma Bengaluru is brilliantly suited for long distance running training. The rolling terrain and climbs of namma Bengaluru outskirts is great for cycling training. In the rainy season, namma Bengaluru also offers great open water swim training on the roads. See, triathlon training is sorted out here. Just get a mouth mask in addition to a face mask and you are good to go. Training the sillycon way. #sillyconCity (#114)
Selective rains
Do you know it why it rains selectively in namma Bengaluru? Like, it is raining here, but a few hundred meters ahead, it is perfectly dry. it Because even rains get stuck in traffic jam. The speciality of sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#113)
Revving up
Snorting does not get you out of a traffic jam. On a return commute to home, at a busy and jammed junction, a Thar Jeep guy who has done up his vehicle for rough riding revved his engine multiple times in the faint hope of getting through. Well , snorting did get him ahead. I wiggle though and get much ahead of him. Later he is at my tail again, snorting, I smile and wiggle…
Serenity prayer for the road
What would I like to do when I see a helmet-less head-bent mobile talking rider(s) and the one who comes straight at you on the wrong side of the road? “Serenity prayer” for the road———————————————God, grant me profanity so rich that he may ruethe courage to spank his bottom black and blueand the wisdom to accomplish both without a clueJust a lot of bloody idiots in the sillycon city. The original “Serenity prayer”God grant us…
Rains
The torrential rains caused an outage of power and internet. That is when they realised that they all live in the same house. Just a lot of smart people in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#110)
PTM
He was super delighted when he discovered that his better half could make his tough demanding boss a quiet mouse at the PTM. After all she was the class teacher of boss’s son at the primary school. (PTM = Parent Teacher Meet) Interesting emotions in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#109)
Touch down
Know why people unlock their seat belts and make the call ‘I have arrived’ as soon the plane touches down? Damn, it’s just too peaceful up there, gotta get-into/make the jam. Just a lot of idiots in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#108)
Blinking headlights
He set his super brilliant bicycle headlight into flash mode, to extend the life of his battery. Little did he worry that he might be contracting the life of one coming in the opposite direction. The amazing empathy in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#107)
Speed breakers
We are very conscious of good work. When we accidentally lay a good road we immediately put the kala tikka (black dot) on them, the speed breakers. The mindful ride in silicon city with or without the jam. #sillyconCity (#106)
Cabled city
“We have many cables criss crossing the city streets, yet we are so disconnected.”A fabled city once, now a ‘cabled’ city. Loose connections in the #sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#104)
