A man was seen working on his laptop at a fast food stall in Bengaluru, sparking a discussion about his priorities. With a rise of work-from-home, especially in Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India, the sight of young professionals busy on their laptops in social settings is becoming increasingly common.
Kritika Kumari, an X (formerly Twitter) user, shared a picture of a Bengaluru techie using his laptop while standing outside a Momo shop. "His priorities are sorted," she wrote in the post.
Amused by the viral photo, several internet users made jokes about corporate culture.
"Corporate employee (crying emoji)," a user commented.
"Momo ke paise v dene hote hai na toh kaam krne padenge," another added.
"Ek labour Karega bhi kya? Apne ghar ja kar English jhadega i am audible? My screen is visible or not? (What else will a labourer do? He will go home and say in English, am I audible? Is my screen visible or not?)" another joked.
A few of them also pointed out that the techie may have forgotten his phone and is either trying to pay through his laptop or is trying to place an online order.
"Kuch nhi Phone office mein bhul gaya h, toh Momos wale ko Net Banking se money transfer kr raha h (It's nothing, he forgot his phone in the office. So he is paying the Momo person via Net Banking)," a user commented.
"May be he lost his phone while travelling . So he is ordering the food using lap," another added.
Contrary to what one might think, this isn't the strangest location where tech enthusiasts have been found working. In March, an image of a man using his laptop in a Bengaluru theatre ignited a debate on social media regarding work-life balance.
