Hmmm, seems like namma sillyconCity needed a drink. The traffic is back. The city of pubs dried and shrivelled during the dry spell of 40 days. When the liquor shops opened, after a long wait and generous swigs, the vehicles are back!

5G roads
New record created today. To silk board and back from ITPL road in 30 minutes by car. Our roads are on 5G, super no?
God & Spirit
During festivals, small temples in my area setup wooden pole queuing systems to manage crowds. The same was visible outside a liquor shop near my office in nama city. Now I understand God and Spirit are accorded the same respect.
Festival times in namma sillyconCity.
Onsite
Pre-corona, onsite posting was the carrot offered by IT service companies. Now all that is being offered by these companies is WFH. Interesting, no?
Monday
After many of weeks of working from home, this Monday is just right for drinking at office(or home). Long lines at 8:30AM today morning outside liquor shops in namma city. All in a line maintaining absolute discipline, beautifully socially distanced and waiting with a zen-line patience.
Protection
In these Covid19 times, I see a lot of people on bikes riding without helmet, be it the rider or pillion. When I asked one of them as to why he was wearing head protection, he looked straight at me and said “Mask idhey-alva-na Saar” (“Mask is there no, Sir”).
Super smart no, a gem of namma sillyconCity.
Oh dear Bengaluru
When lockdown happened, Bengaluru became Bangalore. Peaceful, lazy, quiet roads, cool breeze, swaying trees, gaily flowers, ‘aaram’, just like how it was when when I was a young lad. Missed the big circles and tongas though.
Bengaluru, we will wake up now. I hope you have rejuvenated well, for we will come back with a vengeance. Sorry.
EMI
As we have been noticing, the lockdown gets extended by few more weeks when it nears the end. Frustrated, my friend asked “Why is the Govt not bold enough to announce lockdown until end of the year?”
“Well, this is the EMI version” I said 🙂
Red
Red light area was all about touching. Now, red zone is all about distancing.
Red light area was about unmasking. Now, red zone is about being masked.
In red light area, you catch the virus. In the red zone, the virus catches you.
If you live in this zone, you can say “I live in the red light area, sorry red zone!”.
Novel cure
An innovative idea by the world’s most powerful head of state, of shining UV light inside the body and injecting disinfectant into the body to kill the virus in one minute just blew me away.
