Times when I have to visit ICICI bank located at CMH Road, I often take the route via Defence Colony as it’s a sanctuary from the honking vehicles, cleaner roads, quieter ride. The streets and compound walled houses is a part of elite neighborhood of Bangalore. Some houses looks like the ones in Trivandrum. All these houses are housed in independent compound, with garden, trees and space.
This part of Bangalore is starkly different from most pockets of the city. Other parts, we see houses sharing the same wall, looking like matchboxes or pigeonholes.
While I pass through the posh, silent houses in Indira Nagar, my mind goes to the type of people who live there. Are they are the ultra rich kinds? What are their fears? What could be their network? Will they invite me home? What if I know couple of people in this locality where I can barge in without any invitation, without calling them? Just for a coffee or tea and some conversation.
It’s all part of my old fashioned way of thinking, the connection, and a feeling of talking to someone, knowing more about them, etc.
Meet-up App
This makes me think of a mobile application, which is for discovering or connecting people who are willing to host for tea/coffee/beer.
Just imagine, I can ride around with this mobile and look at places or houses where they can offer me a glass of water, or where they can spare their minutes of time with a stranger? Will it be too risky? Will it lead to better understanding of people? What if we are not willing to let a stranger come to your house, instead, there are places called hub-pads ( a coffee shop types) where it facilitates random meeting of people.
