This week we bring you Indian brain rot, entire cities flooding and also the discovery of a new visual experience - quite an eventful week to be alive.
VISHAL MEGA MART IS THE NEW GOLDMAN SACHS ⁉️
The buzz began when the retail chain launched a large-scale hiring drive, announcing thousands of security guard vacancies across its stores in India. While the job posting itself was standard, the sheer volume of roles and the wide circulation of employment details on social media caught the internet's attention. Now suddenly everyone wants to get hired at Vishal Mega Mart Limited and people grabbed this opportunity and turned the security guard post to a near-mythical status. People even made reaction videos with their parents as a parody of getting the job they applied for at Vishal mega mart along with many more hysterical reels.
You can say Vishal Mega Mart is Indian brain rot.
DID YOU KNOW THAT BENGALURU IS AN ISLAND 🙀
You opened Instagram and you saw the “book a titanic feature on uber” meme right ? no same and we can't get enough.
Bangalore is flooding and that isn’t stopping people on the internet from laughing at their own misery. From buses having fun splashing water on pedestrians to autos being submerged and obviously Koramangala turning into an island - the rain has been nothing less of chaotic and Bangalore’s turning it into a spectacle by making memes on it and taking work from homes.
NEW COLOR UNLOCKED 🎨
Olo, which is an extremely saturated blue-green hue that is outside the range of colors normally perceivable by human vision. This color was made visible to a small group of individuals by stimulating specific photoreceptor cells in their retinas using laser light. So the Question is - well is it even a real color if it doesn't exist ? Well sort of ? Maybe.
Guess we’ll never know the answer to that, but hey at least you know scientists can create new colors that never existed now.

10K DESIGNERS BUT TALENT WORTH WAY MORE 🌟
10kdesigners by Abhinav Chhikara x The Hub Bengaluru (2nd edition) - We at The Hub Bengaluru organised a graduation AGAIN where graduates of design come here to sip and paint organized by the Studio Phooling team and spent time talking with other designers gaining introspect in their field - they had a postcard painting workshop at The Hub rooftop which we organised alongside refreshments by umami brew kombucha. It was a day filled with fun, design, intellectual conversations, Kombucha and A LOT of paint and pottery.
We believe that for a graduation to shine - Games, fun and team building with a side of rain bring out the best in designers.
