Twitter user Ashi posted a screenshot with a one line caption. “Tired after a day of hustling at @peakbengaluru,” she wrote. The handle she tagged shares various interesting incidents from the city of Bengaluru.

Take a look at the post:

“But so very responsible of him!!” wrote a Twitter user. “At least this guy was honest. There was this one time - on my way back from BLR airport, the cab guy just pulled over on ORR and said “Madam, I can’t drive anymore - I’m sleepy”. It was around 3:30AM, I was jet lagged and scared as hell,” shared another. “Work life balance at its finest,” commented a third. “His honesty has my respect,” expressed a fourth.
