Bengaluru Techie Shares Frustrating Traffic Experience
A software development executive working at Google in Bengaluru, Venkatesh D, shared the video on his Instagram, showcasing his long journey to the office and voicing worries over the city’s traffic situation. In the video, he was seen walking through traffic while recording himself and explaining the situation. In the video, he said, “So, I live four kilometres from my office, and it took me 45 minutes to reach the office today. What takes me like 9-10 mins to come to the office took me 45 minutes; it’s 10 am. I left my home, and I’m reaching here. It’s 10:45.”
Visibly furious, he then switched to Hindi and said, “Yaar, humare taxes jaana kaha pe rahe hai bhai”. He continued, “There have been months when I’ve paid more taxes than I’ve got in my salary, and this is not just me; I’m sure there’s thousands and lakhs of other people who do this.” Expressing further, he said, “But it is so frustrating and furiates the hell out of me, yaar, like, kya chal raha hai yaar.”
