Peak city planning. Ffs.

Time to close all tech parks and ask people to wfh or wherever! Haven’t seen such a bad state since 2015. I read schools are shut. When are they shutting IT parks and ask people to wfh? Hope it happens asap.

Tired of every fucking thing in this city. Born and brought up in this city. Life was good. However its not the same now. Fucking overpopulation, overcrowding, over expensive rent, food, where are we heading. Public transport is good, lol, try traveling for your 9-5 job. Roads are broken. Traffic is terrible. Monsoon about to worsen things more. A pm wants to conduct a rally in this city, and my 1.5 hours of travel turns out to be of 4.5 fucking hours. Have just watched 2people fall off the local train. Someone has to step in and please do something. Please stop the population from increasing. Please do something.

These days, I can't help but keep on thinking about post white collar labour economy and it's implication on our day to day life.... We can keep on dwelling in our wishful cocoon but fact remains that world is going to be vastly different in 4-5 years vis a viz today... In that scenario, let's us discuss some scenario : 1. What will be impact on rental yields of tier 1 cities and consequently what will be overall impact on Indian real estate 2. What would be impact on banking interest rates 3. Where will you park your money in that scenario : Gold, Indian Equity , Big Tech Equity , FD, Real estate or Cash.. My opinion : 1. As high paying jobs for majority of people diminishes, Rental yields of tier 1 cities will come down thereby directly impacting real estate. This will result in huge NPA by those people who have taken loans for 20-30 years period. This will eventually bankrupt real estate developers thereby making real estate deflationary. 2. We will begin to witness overall a deflationary society where cost of services like Education, software, finance etc will drastically reduce. Moreover due to high NPAs, banking interest rate will reduce. Home loans for tenure of 20-30 years will drastically reduce due to increased uncertainty. 3. Gold has historically been inflation proof asset. However will it still be a good asset to invest into in a deflationary society? What are things that will still hold value then? Don't you think current big techs will become East India Company of future indirectly controlling world's economy? I would love to know what do grapevine folks think about the same !

Alright, Bangalore is the best city in India. It's not just the best, it's in a league of its own compared to other cities. First off, let's talk about the weather. Bangalore's weather is perfect all year round, magical. Unlike heat waves of Delhi and the shit humidity of Mumbai, Bangalore's climate is the best. Who wants to sweat anytime you step out or freeze to death in winters? Not me. Bangalore is where the real innovation happens. Really smart people making this country better. These Delhi Bombay kids caught lacking for real. And the people? Bangalore's got the best of the country. It's cosmopolitan. You've got people from all over the country, and everyone's more educated and progressive. So, let's cut to the chase. Bangalore is the best city, hands down. The rest of India can keep dreaming, but they'll never catch up.

Hello folks. While I'd like to remain anonymous very much, here's what I can share about myself. 1. Working in consumer finance. 2. Love personal finance and helping people out with it. 3. Have published 10,000+ pieces of financial content in the mainstream media. 4. Wrote a best-selling book on money management. It was No. 1 on Amazon once upon a time. 5. Lately been appearing on TV regularly for personal finance discussions. 6. Saved like crazy through my 20s and 30s, brought two apartments; have an 8-figure net worth mostly thanks to my mutual fund investments. It's not much but it's hard-earned. 7. My unrealised aspiration is travel and I'm working on it now. No, I'm not selling anything. No commissions, no referral links, no finfluencing. Just want to talk, exchange ideas, and learn from you all. Maybe I'll feature you in my next book. :) Ask me anything.

This water shortage thing in Bangalore is pretty depressing. There is an extreme shortage of water but no one on this planet seems serious about it. People are busy making memes around it , poking political parties , blaming the government. The government is blaming other governments and that's it. Imagine there were 280 lakes in the city now there are only 15. Imagine once Lalbagh and cubbon park were connected and there were elephants living there. How can a random land mafia dry up the lake and build stupid buildings illegally purely for their profits? They will profit from it but whose resources they took? Nature's resources that were meant for everyone. That land mafia must be chilling in Atlantis hotel in the rooftop swimming pool and here we are drying up. In the end , only the one sitting at the top would benefit from it and the one who will suffer is common person and they are still not realising how badly they will suffer in future. If you don't have water what are you going to drink? 500 2000 notes smoothie? No amount of money can give water. These land mafias and politicians will import fresh water for their families to drink after depleting Indian resources. What are you going to do ? And then this government brings CAA law to bring more people to our country where the existing citizens don't have enough resources. WAKE UP SAVE INDIA FROM POLITICIANS. Anyway , this is not a propaganda post against any political party because all parties are at the end corrupted, they will exploit everything to make money and then safeguard their family by sending them in foreign countries. The one who will suffer is us.

New to the city and it makes no sense to me whatsoever. Having lived through all major metros in the country, Bangalore feels like a Tier-2 town covered with Tier-1 wrapping paper.

Enough said. Get your shit together, BBMP. Mandate a WFH and shut the tech parks down honestly. At least SWE jobs.

I see lots of posts about water crisis in Bangalore like people going mall to 💩. Office saying employees to work from home. So many things I am hearing. But I never felt that water shortage. Just wanted to know how real is this ?

On my way back from the office and it started thundering and drizzling. Got me real excited and I didn’t mind getting a little drenched on my bike. But the excitement to see the first proper rains was quickly outdone by the horror of Bangalore’s almost impressively bad sewage system back in action. It only gets worse, to see the first rains immediately turn to sludge and the dirty water spray around, when they hit the dirt laden streets and the traffic completely choked due to bad roads was a nightmare to drive through. Getting wet in the rain seemed a mistake. Idk if anything will make this city get off this doomed trajectory it’s on.
