Bengaluru from the 27th floor
From her aerial vantage point, Gupta is able to escape the chaos that characterizes most Indian metropolitan cities. Instead, she gets to see a softer, almost ethereal side of Bengaluru — enveloped by a cover of clouds.
From the 27th floor, she is also able to escape the din of Bengaluru’s traffic chaos. She acknowledged as much in her Instagram post.

While the Karnataka capital is most often in the news for its traffic chaos and bottlenecks, Gupta’s video shows a more peaceful side of Bengaluru.
