Despite the flooding, many continue to work diligently on laptops inside buses and shelters, showing their dedication despite the monsoon’s challenges. The trolls poke fun at the situation by imagining boat drop-offs at key tech hubs, offering comic relief to those stuck in the wet and messy commute.

The floods expose Bengaluru’s persistent infrastructure issues, especially poor drainage and pothole-filled roads, which worsen every rainy season. These memes not only entertain but also highlight the urgent need for the city authorities to step up maintenance efforts.
