A photo doing the rounds online perfectly captures Bengaluru’s quirky, tech-loving spirit. Snapped during a recent autorickshaw ride, the image shows a driver multitasking in the most unexpected way, streaming a Naval Ravikant podcast on a mini screen installed above his windshield, all while navigating traffic with directions running on his phone. The X user who shared the photo summed it up best: “It doesn’t get more peak Bengaluru than this.” See the post: It doesn’t get more peak bengaluru than this @peakbengaluru pic.twitter.com/D448sBJeC5 — Priyanshu Tanwar (@0xTanwar) August 3, 2025 The post quickly gained traction online, racking up nearly 80,000 views and sparking a wave of reactions in the comments. People admired the autorickshaw driver’s dedication and ability to juggle multiple tasks on the go. Many also gave him a nod of respect for making the most of his time by tuning in to Ravikant, whose entrepreneurial and philosophical wisdom continues to inspire countless listeners. A user wrote, “Listening to podcasts while navigating Bengaluru traffic - @peakbengaluru its finest. Peak productivity in peak traffic.” Another user quipped, “This auto driver’s multitasking game is on another level—watching a podcast, navigating with Google Maps, AND dodging Bengaluru potholes all at once! I can’t even drink water while walking straight.” A third person commented, “How to get rich while driving auto. Crazy.” However, not everyone missed the background details in the image. Some users cheekily pointed out a pothole visible on the road behind the rickshaw. A user wrote, “That pothole, though. BLR never disappoints.” Another person added, “Yeah pothole spotted.” Last month, a Bengaluru commuter shared a bizarre experience on Reddit, recalling how his autorickshaw driver got distracted mid-ride — not by traffic, but by Instagram. “What made it worse was that he came across a post by Sreeleela(Actor), and instead of just moving on, he actually slowed down the auto right in the middle of the main road to open her profile and scroll through her feed,” the user wrote. Running late for work, the man said he was both angry and stunned by the driver’s casual attitude. Despite his frustration, he admitted feeling “completely helpless” in the moment.
