The people here have an amazing competitive spirit. When there is big rush at the signal, everybody lines up on the other lane too watching the countdown intently. When they are bored of watching it, they speed away. The amazing sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#82)
The artistry of traffic in silicon city is amazing. When it is stationary, it really is very still. When it moves, it is brilliantly fluid, with amazing curves as vehicles weave in and out, synchronised with sound and light show of horns and smokes. Life in sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#75)
He lived in a rented house near his work place. He was happy. After many years of hard work, he built his dream house close by. He was very happy. Very soon he got a dream offer from another company. He switched. Then all he did was to dream in the bus to work and back. It was a long commute. Then he moved to a rented place closer to the new company. He still…
He bought a new car. And then Scratch Guard. And 3-year additional maintenance. And leather trim. And fog lights. Now he does Uber/Metro, thanks to the amazing Bangalore traffic. Amazing people of sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#57)
Bangalore is very alive and healthy. See the Google traffic map anytime and notice the arterial roads are brightly coloured red. Life in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#44)
He was relieved that he made it to the morning meeting at office. He was relieved that the Ola guy showed up so that he could visit the customer. He was relieved that he made it to the airport on time. In the sillycon city reaching a destination is a celebration. The high life of sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#31)
He revved his bike and zoomed away only to arrive quickly at the traffic jam and wait for eternity! Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (#15)
As I pushed my cycle on the pavement, I was solicited from behind. Staccato honking as if somebody is communicating in morse code. As I turned back, I was assaulted by the arrogant strong fragrance. Svelte she was, on the bright coloured scooter, riding on the pavement in a tearing hurry to jump the massive jam on the ITPL road. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. “I come from the world of code, where…
Handsome he was. Stylishly riding the shiny bike. Many brands adorning his Adonis body. A beneficiary of the dollar-Re disparity, the laptop bag carelessly slung over his shoulder. Another guy in the IT sector in Bangalore. Without a care, he just rode through the red traffic light at the signal, endangering others. Just another idiot in the sillycon city. #sillyconCity (2)
Their hands touched innocuously when they were riding. Temperature spiked, their eyes locked and oblivious to traffic around them, they were engaged in a passionate conversation loudly. A crowd formed behind them, curious. A shrill melody of honks followed like the 21-gun salute! Don’t let your imagination go riot! This is the daily kiss that happens between motorists on the crowded old airport road in Bangalore! Who says BLR roads are stressful ? Commute by cycle…
