Three people on a bike, none wearing helmets, the rider busy looking at his mobile as he jumps the red signal. I love probability in namma sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#142)

Mobile
Why is a cell phone called a mobile phone?Because you talk untethered, right ? Wrong, let me explain.. Because it makes everything mobile – makes taxi/auto come home, starts app-based scooter/cycle to ride, gets any stuff home, be it groceries or a massage. Only ‘solpa’ (little) problem though, causes traffic to be immobile in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#133)
Don’t drink, drive
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)
Work while driving
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)
Stop anywhere
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…
Mobile messaging
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)
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)
Guide dogs
Guide dogs assist visually impaired people to navigate the road safely. Now they are also available for assisting mobile addicted people so that they can continue watching movies while walking. The master on a leash in the #sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#103)
Faceless conversations
SMS mom. WhatsApp spouse. Slack the colleague. WebEx the client. Insta friends. Email boss. Faceless conversations in the #sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#102) Note: Inspired by Anu Ramakrishnan, she really framed the key phrases brilliantly.
Pedestrian love story
Theirs was a movie-style romance. Both of them were watching movies while walking on the road. They bumped into each other and his head went over her heels. Google recorded this happy moment and now they walk in the same direction hand-in-hand with the other holding the mobile. A pedestrian love story in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#99)
