For two days in a row, I have had this feeling that I’m living in a ghost town. The shortest distance from my house to my office is 18 kilometers (around 15 miles), and for the past 7 months, the shortest time I’ve taken to drive from one place to the other is 1.2 hours. So, you can imagine my surprise when, on the 13th of November, I reached my office in 27 minutes.
I parked my bike and looked around just to reassure myself that I was really there. While returning home that night, I took 30 minutes. I could not sleep a wink. The roads had been strangely devoid of people; for the longest stretches, mine was the only bike. No pedestrians, green lights all the way, no hot chicks on the sidewalk, nothing. I finally dismissed the incident as an anomaly.
When the same thing yesterday, I got scared. Where the hell is everybody?
That was when it struck me – I have a Pharaoh look going for the past three days, and I think I’ve been cursed. The thin striptease of a beard running down my chin probably sparked angry protests among the dead Pharaohs and they want revenge for my lack of respect. They’re probably playing mind games on me. Shit! I need some help!
If I don’t post anything for the next two days, you can safely assume that I’m dead.

Did pharaohs ever wear glasses ? Bangalore could do with a few more pharaohs and that could be the solution to the pathetic traffic problem … you are a genius!! ..actually did you doze of when your barber was at your beard? or is this some sadistic style statement ?
I’m agreed with Aravind… Please do not die!!! 😦
however, this is a lot scary… I understand if u have had a Pharaoh look… 🙄
Dude, you never cease to amaze me with your level of insanity. 😀
wow!! I’ve never actually seen an empty street before(in Bangalore)….mayb i can get to school (9 kms from home) in less than an hour if the streets are empty…
Please do namma bengalooru a huge favour and ride all over town with you’re pharoah look!! 😀
Looks very cool dude. Believe me, everyone likes the 50% cut in commute time in Bangalore 🙂 It is almost like the Vanilla Sky Tom Cruise Empty Time square experience.
@ Niks
LOL you do look nice.. 🙂
But soham thinks you are competing with SRK!! “SRK!!!!!!!!!!!!”
No comments 😛 😛 you can read my comment on you previous post 😛
@ Reema

*Ahem* Not cursed you are, btw nice goatee. I agree with Reema, “A whole post and story just to show off new beard!! Narcissism at its peak.” LOL 🙂
Even I had this feeling on Thursday. I reached office in 8 min. 50% faster than normal. Pharaoh look suits you 🙂
Even I had this feeling on Thursday. I reached office in 8 min. It usually takes me 15 to 20 min. Pharaoh look suits you 🙂
haha..maybe the strip of beard just scared all the people away…

Are you going to grow it longer, like Prof. Calculus? You need a head gear to along with it. 🙂
dont even come near me with that beard !!!
no traffic in Bangalore.. I can’t believe.. Finish off your work these days and get some rest when there is some more traffic.. great idea.. right 😉
Rajajingar and a ghost town? Hmmm sounds weird. Is it become a ghost town coz I shifted my house from that place 😛 I know, I understand! When a lively person like me is not there then people tend to experience such things 😀
And “no hot chicks on the sidewalk”?? Are there any in that area? Oh ya! may be from Aurobindo College =))
Would it be possible for you to tell me who the artist is who painted the above picture of the ghost town as i love it..If you can help me it would be much appreciated
H-e-l-l-o-o-o-l-l-e-H!! You okay? Hope you don’t mind, but I am using this ghost town image on my blog!?
@Diane
Sure go ahead!
