‘Floating above the chaos’: Bengaluru's software engineers’ dreamy 27th-floor view takes the internet by storm

A Bengaluru-based software engineer and content creator, Bhawna Gupta, recently gave her Instagram followers a breathtaking perspective of the city—quite literally from above.

A Dreamy Cityscape Caught on Camera

Filmed from the 27th floor of her building, Gupta’s video shows Bengaluru spread out below a soft blanket of clouds, lending the bustling metropolis a calm, almost dreamlike quality. The visuals offer a rare, serene glimpse of a city more commonly associated with congestion and constant movement.

“What everyday life looks like from our little corner on the 27th floor in Bengaluru,” read the on-screen caption in the video.

Floating Above the Traffic Madness

From her elevated vantage point, Gupta experiences a quieter, more ethereal side of Bengaluru—far removed from the relentless honking and gridlock on the roads below. She acknowledged this contrast directly in her post.

“Floating above the chaos of Bengaluru Traffic,” the software engineer wrote in the caption.

Internet Can’t Get Enough of the View

The video quickly went viral, drawing admiration from viewers who were struck by the surreal visuals. Comments poured in praising the scene, with one user writing, “This looks so surreal,” while another simply exclaimed, “Oh wow.”

A City Known for Traffic, Seen Differently

Bengaluru’s traffic woes are well documented and often test the patience of even the most seasoned commuters. Widely known as the Silicon Valley of India, the city’s rapid expansion has far outpaced its road infrastructure, leading to long and slow-moving traffic jams during peak hours.
