The video swiftly garnered traction and triggered divided reactions from social media users. While some people hailed his dedication, others called it dangerous citing road safety.

“Good spirit,” one user wrote. Another user commented, “Wrong inspiration. This can cause accidents.”

“It’s a disease, not motivation,” a third user remarked. “Keep going,” a fourth user added.

Meanwhile, a video of a man riding a scooter in Bengaluru while attending a work call on his laptop went viral last week. The clip, shared by Peak Bengaluru on X, showed the man whizzing on the road with the device open on his lap and a Microsoft Teams meeting clearly visibly to passers-by. The footage also sparked conversation around road safety.

The viral clip also prompted discussions around work-life balance and a 70-hour work week that was proposed by Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy.
