BENGALURU: On Monday morning, Mumbai faced a few hours of power cut. However, power failure in the country’s commercial capital evoked memes and jokes among Bengalureans, who commented that Bescom had ‘trained’ them to bear with such outages regularly.
Memes with links to Batman movies and other popculture references were widely shared. People from Uttar Pradesh, Odisha and other states also joined in, saying how power cuts are normal for them too.
Taking a dig at Bescom, Kamat, a Bengalurean, tweeted: “When there’s a power cut in Mumbai it becomes news! In Bangalore, thanks to Bescom, having 24 hr uninterrupted power can become news. Because religiously there’s power cut every day. God bless the so-called Silicon Valley.”
