Peak Bangalore in a nutshell

Peak Bangalore in a nutshell- Grapevine

Basically the title

I'm visiting Bangalore for the first time, what all should I be doing? I'm a non - techie, working in the tech field (Web 3 specifically) so any recommendations for events, places to check out or  people to meet would be highly appreciated!

Also, is the Grapevine office open for curious visitors? Have heard its a view that makes Greeks jealous :3

Visiting bangalore for the first time, need tips!

On a recent episode of Nikhil Kamath, he says “Bangalore is famous for nice and welcoming people”. This is so very true to a large extent. Every city however has some outliers who tarnish the image by going extreme. 

I have seen a lot of posts on GrapeVine complaining about Bangalore and their people. People should understand that every native resident of a city carries a profound sense of connection and endeavours to uphold the cultural heritage of their hometown. And what better way to preserve heritage than to safeguard language ?  This is the reason I believe most non Hindi speaking cities try to impose their language on outsiders. 

All said and done, I feel language should never be imposed but at the same time it shouldn’t be ridiculed either. I’ve seen a lot of “Kannada” hate post and is disheartening to see it.

And lastly I appologize to all those who have had negative experiences due to a few troublemakers. 

TL;DR : Bangalore is a lovely city with warm and welcoming people.

Bangalore is ❤️

I think these welcoming people are outsiders themselves. Actual natives hates outsiders and as per recent events they are trying to send back people, specially north Indians.

"The extent of water surface in Bengaluru during 1973 was 2,324 hectares. Over the last 50 years, due to reckless concretization, the water surface has shrunk considerably. Of the remaining water bodies, 98% of lakes are encroached upon and 90% of them are fed with untreated sewage or industrial effluents. Naturally, this has impacted the recharge of the groundwater table as well," IISc's Prof TV Ramachandra had told TOI.

Bengaluru's severe water crisis and traffic congestion are prompting tech giants to consider relocating from the $245 billion IT hub. The city's civic challenges may impact India's IT industry landscape, compelling companies to explore emerging cities.

India looks for new Bengalurus as its Silicon Valley goes downhill

If they buiild more "lake-view" apartments, there will be no more lakes left, not that there are many left.

What’s happening in Bangalore 😧

What’s the place you go to sit alone in peace sometimes? No friends, no partner, just you alone.

What’s your “your spot” in or around Bangalore?

Product Owner

Sooo I feel like Bangalore is a city that lives on Hype, everyone is just trying to be cool and are too afraid of actually call out stuff for what they are. 

Few examples (my personal opinion) 

Eat Naru - it’s good ramen, but you can definitely find better or as good (bookings are sold out in minutes) 
Pizza 4Ps - Average pizza, great hospitality but not worth waiting for a booking a month in advance 
Ultrahuman ring - It’s not even that accurate for that price 
March Tee - good T-shirt, but you can find so much better at that price point 


I like to call this the Bangalore Hype Train xP

Totally Agree with this, everyone wants to get validation or some kind of approval from ultra rich or dumb influencers, I think it's totally influenced by Tech Cuties mostly from North India working in Startups (HSR, Koramangala). These dumbfucks who never stepped out of their world get excited for silly things, imagine people standing outside a biryani shop at 4am, people standing in a queue sandwich..uff this all insta validation stories matters for them, they seek happiness by impressing or making someone jealous of.

Founder’s Office

Recently have been getting caught up in heavy traffic from St John’s to Koramangala and not even getting rides from Ola , Rapido etc… Are companies asking more people to WFO or what’s actually happening?

Is it just me or is the traffic getting wode worse?

Assistant Manager

There’s either water logging or no water at all
There’s either stand still traffic or spend 3 days in the car traffic
Bangalore airport is in Hyderabad

But the weather is good and there’s cherry blossoms macha!

We also have UPI, we too book cabs, we too have famous food places and better in most cases. We face traffic too, it rains in other parts of India too. You all need to calm down

People go to blr and think rest world is village

Content Strategist

Bangalore metro vibes same as Delhi Blue line..
Full dhakka mukki.. crowded

Bangalore

Especially in a city like Bangalore where you spend 5 days in office 
Clubbing is not an option every weekend, considering how expensive clubs are and how antisocial I am 
What can we do apart from scrolling phone Or binging content indefinitely?
Suggest some options 

I tried those meetups and board games night. 
They are not as exciting after first few rounds

How to have a good weekend

Peak Bengaluru?

Waste fcks. Look I am someone who wouldn't do this shaming of our cities, we are quite secure about BLR and don't really care what happens elsewhere. However your city folk stink when in Bangalore. So enjoy their gifts coming home. And have some shame

A septic tank calls a pond dirty. Ey no bro I won't learn kannada, Bengaluru sucks, we will take our startups and employess to our cities

Data engineer

"Macha why do you like Bangalore? Weather bro."

These tech bros can't stand normal weather, but will go through shitty infra, traffic, hooliganism, and what not for slightly better weather.

Bangalore is an over-rated city

I’m finally in Bengaluru and this city seems glitzy yet underdeveloped. What a weird dichotomy. 🫨

Grapevine folks: What are your weekend scenes?

An introvert staying alone here with no friends in the city.. would spend the weekend with myself either scrolling social media or sleeping!!

Product Manager

Moved to Bangalore a few months back.
I've lived in Delhi NCR, Maharashtra, West Bengal, UP, Punjab but Bangalore just doesn't give me homely vibes.

Everyone in Bangalore is so busy in hustle that there are very less number of cafes joints around office areas to hang out . People just go to office and come back. Others may enjoy corporate meetings and parties. But there's a limit for me..

Any suggestions on what can I try to explore or do here?
Vegetarian+ Non drinking habit is adding on difficulties to already a very limited thing I can do.
