When I first saw it being drawn, I was like zapped. The country is in lockdown and the Govt. is drawing boxes on the road. I thought BBMP and Bangalore Police are going to play thukudbilla to welcome Unlock1.
Then I got to know.
The Govt. painted these squares both sides starting from every liquor shop in Bangalore till about 200 meters away.
That was the groundwork done by the Govt. before opening those shops.
But that's not the point.
On the day of the unlock of liquor stores, I went for a walk early at 5 in the am. And believe me, every square was occupied by the most decent behaving folks, including some women.
Wow, I thought.
I came back at 10 and ...
The shops were now open. Not one was on the square. A big big crowd with peeps pouncing on each other were at the counter. And police at the periphery yielding lathi.
It was a sight to behold….
