A user on X/Twitter shared how a 35 year old techie at Microsoft drives Namma Yatri during weekends in Koramangala, Bangalore, to combat loneliness. — Venkatesh Gupta (@venkyHQ) While 'is post ke sabhi ghatnaye aur patra kalpanik hai,' media houses nonetheless fell for these obvious clickbaits on social media without verification, and the nonchalant content deprived janta gets its daily bite on the infinity scroll. But then some of the comments on the post are a telltale of the urban loneliness among the techies who move to the cities for a better prospect, until everything in town starts to eat their very soul, from the gloomy weather, broken relations, to the same ol’ weekend itineraries, to probably not getting laid even.
Most of these lovelorn techies flock to several unmentionable subreddits, seeking for pleasure in the fleeting company of a stranger. Anyways, some of the netizens mentioned shared similar stories of stumbling across techies as Rapido captains, many of them bankers too. One user shared how they chanced upon an Accenture techie who works as a mechanic at a Royal Enfield showroom.
A few jibes and ‘auto-pilot’ jokes followed too. Yes, Mr Vaibhav ;-) Umm. .
.the post might be a joke but the loneliness pandemic aint. — Sukhada (@appadappajappa) PFB stats and notes from a decade ago as published in ! Nothing seems to have changed.
X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, Tinder, Netflix, Swiggy, Google Pay and every other fleeting app on the screen have only added to this pandemic of loneliness. You’ll need a venn diagram to connect the dots on how the non-social media apps have anything to do with loneliness, depression, self harm, and even suicidal tendencies. Some are able to cope up with the solitude, a few find incredible community of like minded friends, a handful are not so fortunate, and succumb.
