Frying pan on head, challan dodged
In what has become the Internet’s favourite peak Bengaluru moment, a pillion rider in the Roopena Agrahara area pulled off perhaps the most budget-car helmet ever. Instead of a proper helmet, he perched a frying pan on his head — yes, the one you use for making omelettes.
Traffic in Bengaluru holds no mercy, and spot fines for helmet violations can be harsh. So this rider decided: if life gives you a challan, grab a kitchen utensil instead. The two-wheeler glided through the gridlock while the passenger balanced the pan like a seasoned juggler.
The video went viral on the internet. One user wrote that a frying pan might flip breakfast, but it sure won’t save a skull. Another quipped to aspiring engineers: “Innovation level – Desi Iron Man. Safety level – Zero.”
The clip struck a nerve: helmets are not optional props for viral fame — they’re meant for skulls that want to survive roads.
In Bengaluru, you might joke to avoid a fine, but if you skip the helmet, by the end of the ride you might pay a lifelong price.
Patient caught partying in hospital ward
In what looked less like a hospital scene and more like a Friday night gone wrong, a patient in Madhya Pradesh’s Ashoknagar district decided that recovery could use a little “cheers.”
Devendra, admitted to the surgical ward of a government hospital, was caught sipping alcohol with his relatives, right on his hospital bed.
It was around 8:30 p.m. on Thursday when nursing officer Gayatri Chaudhary walked into the ward and found the group mid-toast, glasses in hand. The nurse confronted them.
“You are doing this here. We work here to cure people. We treat patients, staying awake all night, exhausting ourselves, and you are doing this? Drink outside your house, but not in a hospital. This is like a temple for us,” she said.
The video, which has now gone viral, shows the patient and his companions fumbling to hide their glasses while the nurse gave them a reality check.
Caught red-handed (aur thoda talli bhi), the group apologised. The hospital administration has since launched an investigation.
Chicken Fry first, Nikah second
Weddings are in other words the celebration of love but for most guests, it is the free, tasty food that counts. And in some cases, wedding vows have to be stopped for chicken.
In a wedding ceremony at Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, our man from the groom's side felt gastronomically cheated.
His whole point? “They got three pieces, we got two”. In the economics of wedding food, that's a huge mistake.
Witnesses said the bride’s family rushed to offer extra chicken, hoping to soothe our man’s heart. But no, his squad didn't let him accept that.
They blamed the caterers for ‘impolite behaviour’ next. This invited fists and feathers, pretty violent ones. The wedding vows were halted.
Not once. Thrice. Because…chicken matters.
The clash injured 15 people. The police were called and the rest of the wedding had to be completed under police supervision.
All of the 15 injured people are reportedly recovering at the hospital now.
Our man and his team's ego could have made more mess of the wedding but police intervention is what such cases require.
