Peak Bengaluru: Woman attends video call on bike while stuck in traffic. ‘Work life imbalance,' say X users
A viral video shows a Bengaluru woman attending a video call on her bike while stuck in traffic, in what an X user said was “work-from-traffic”.
A video of a woman attending a video call while she is stuck in traffic on her two-wheeler in Bengaluru is doing the rounds on social media, in yet another 'Peak Bengaluru' moment.
The 22-second video's text reads: "Work from traffic. It's just a normal day in Bangalore." The clip features a woman with a backpack and a helmet, attending a call on her phone. The phone is attached to the red scooter as she adjusts the screen while stuck in the traffic jam.
"Bengaluru promoted work-from-traffic culture like no one else," an X user whose handle is named SwatKat said. In another post, she termed the act "work life imbalance".

The video did not amuse many people, with several users discussing the commuter's purported inability to balance work and personal life.
"Indians are easily exploited because they know how to adjust," X user Lokesh Naik said.
"This is called work place flexibility," another user, Avinash, said.
“No job is worth your life,” another user said.
Since being shared on X, the video garnered over nine lakh views.
In a similar moment earlier this month, a woman in Bengaluru was seen attending a team meeting on her laptop while shopping inside a shoe store.
A video of a man riding a scooter on Bengaluru streets while attending a Zoom call had gone viral on X in March this year. The post was captioned, “Bengaluru is not for beginners”, and sparked many reactions.
