I don't know about you guys, but Marine Drive on weekends has become a whole new battlefield. I was out there recently, and it felt like I was dodging reels, not people. Every few steps, there’s a group of chapris making Instagram reels, blocking the walkway. It's getting out of hand, can't even walk in peace anymore.
Sure, it's a public space, and everyone has the right to do their thing. But when it starts affecting others’ ability to enjoy a simple walk by the sea, that's when it gets frustrating. Maybe the police should start cracking down on these folks the same way they handle reckless driving incidents. It's turning into a circus out there!
I get it, the internet has opened up opportunities for a lot of people, but when it starts feeling like you're walking through a production set on your Sunday stroll, something's gotta give.
What do you guys think? Is this just part of the new normal, or should something be done about it?
Brother, I have a client place there. It's the same on weekdays also. I go for a walk post lunch, see so many jobless people just making reels and doing nothing throughout the day. It's baffling to see, I can't even walk in peace.
Seriously
I have had so many post lunch walks there near ncpa. Best location. So many memories back in 2015/16
The true effects of social media clout chasing on younger generations will take years to manifest. Simple decisions on their own safety is being clouded by needing to upload to platforms
And it’s not just an Indian problem
Yeah exactly. They will go crazy
Making reels should be banned at marines like it is banned in Delhi metro 😂
It should be literally banned
I've noticed same at Carter road bandra as well. They literally expect you to walk around their "work space" like they own the streets. vDisturbing or causing nuisance to other people should never be normalised
This is actually very true
@MuchosGracias @QuietSurgery I think you got me wrong. Of course, these people dont have money in hand but neither does lakhs of engineers in our country. So, if they are trying something different and actually a trending business right now, who are we to blame? Weren't we the same people who were asking for jobs during the layoff period?
I agree with you here.
Poetic
People in office do mindless ppt and status update... People without jobs do mindless reels.
I support running over these morons.

Why are people so irritable so easily? When did patience & kindness leave the city ?
Fights in the metro, fights with auto drivers, rapido riders getting it for just riding.
It's so sad to see the city slowing but surely going to shit.
Is it just me or people in general have a lot less patience and courtesy now ?
The other day a young lad parked his bike right in the middle of parking lot entrance. I politely asked him to park to either side of the entrance and he ac...
