In Bengaluru, notorious for its heavy traffic, instances of people creatively utilising their time during long waits on the roads often garner attention on social media. These posts, depicting individuals engaged in various activities like peeling green peas or answering phone calls while stuck in traffic, frequently ignite discussions about the city's traffic woes. Recently, adding to the city's unique traffic moments, a woman was spotted conducting a meeting while riding a scooter.

A video capturing this unusual sight was shared on the microblogging platform X with a Tamil caption that translates to, “Work even on the road. What else to do? Instead of looking at the signal, they are looking at me.” The footage shows the woman engaged in a Zoom call on her smartphone while waiting for the traffic congestion to ease in Bengaluru. A text overlay in the video humorously remarks, “Work from traffic. Just a normal day in Bengaluru.”

This incident is not isolated, as Bengaluru has witnessed similar instances of people multitasking during traffic jams. In another notable incident, a video of a man working on his laptop while riding a scooter gained widespread attention online. The man appeared to be participating in a Microsoft Teams call while navigating through the city's traffic. The video, accompanied by the caption “Bengaluru is not for beginners,” sparked numerous reactions from netizens.

Social media users chimed in with comments like, “He might complete his full shift given the traffic situation,” highlighting the city's reputation for long commute times. Another user humorously remarked, “Bro must be working for an IT company as he might be short of clocking 70 hours per week,” alluding to the demanding work culture often associated with the city's tech industry. These incidents underscore the unique experiences and challenges faced by commuters in Bengaluru's bustling traffic.
