Their romance began then.


The closing line of his story was that give years hence the flyover is still under construction.

This is what the user, who went by the name MaskedManiac, wrote: "I've mentioned this in another thread, but I met my wife near Sony World Signal. I haven't put the whole story there, but the gist is that one day I was dropping her home (only knew her as a friend back then) and we got stuck somewhere nearby because of the Ejipura flyover work. We got frustrated and were hungry so we diverted and went and had dinner nearby. Anyway, I've dated her for 3 years since then and been married for 2 years, but the 2.5 km flyover is still under construction."

His story is going around on Twitter and it found many who could relate to what he said. "@peakbengaluru traffic forging relationships circa 202O," wrote a user.
