New Delhi: So it’s much easier to find people working on their laptops in coffee shops, but recently in Bengaluru, a man brought his entire PC to a cafe. Isn’t that odd?
Sanket Sahu is a user of Twitter. He shared a photo of a man working at a coffee shop in Bengaluru, where his entire PC was set up on a table. Because their premises had flooded, according to Mr. Sahu, “a group was working from ‘Third Wave Coffee’ with a “full-fledged desktop setup.”
On September 7, another Twitter user commented on the image, writing, “I just observed a group working from Third Wave Coffee with “a full-fledged desktop setup” because their offices are flooded.”

Because social media users circulated the image. It would have made sense if they had used a monitor in addition to their laptop as an extra screen. “Legit ride or death situation,” remarked another user. But gosh, he got the complete CPU gear along.
The larger issue of toxic “hustle culture,” as several Twitter users pointed out, was “this is really horrible. Is Bangalore the most recent metropolis to have a hazardous workplace culture? “, said a user.
The Bengaluru floods last week affected everyone, both the rich CEOs who lived in luxurious homes and the poor living in huts. Traffic congestion and disturbances to inhabitants’ lives resulted from waterlogging in various areas of the city. The basements of several businesses and residences were also flooded.
When torrential rains in the IT capital caused floods that nearly drowned apartments and villas, some of which cost up to several crores each, the Bengaluru local body was held responsible for being unprepared.
