Bangalore

Wanted to know how is the Bangalore metro - the frequency and crowd. Since I am looking for places a little too far from office, so would be relying on (purple line )metro for commute

Bangaluru has the highest number of cars in India, overtakes Delhi.

I am planning to settle down in one particular city in the next 3 to 5 years. I am currently evaluating Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune. From long term perspective ( for next 20 to 30 years) Which city will offer better job prospects ( IT/Software Development/Product Management/Strategy related jobs) along with a decent life style supported by satisfactory amenities like Gated housing options which are not super expensive, Good schooling options for kids, Decent commuting facilities like Metro, wide roads etc. Interested to hear feedback from folks who went through or going through this dilemma.

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

I have train to catch at Yeshwantpur station. Metro will be operational? Coz I think it will ge best as pro kanada activists will be on road and may vandalise car bus auto etc Staycation for 2wk at Goa(south).

Came to blr for the first time. And I was greeted with traffic jam. Blr is so far behind on basic city infrastructure. Imo even Kolkata has better roadways and connectivity. But the Bengaluri metro is impressive. (Also why is the airport outside the city?)

I have been in the startup industry for a decade now, in multiple roles. I see a start difference in the general culture between these 3 cities. I myself behave very differently on the basis of where I am, maybe because of peers/friends in these cities. Can you guys objectively line out the differences you see? Can be anything like the idea of chilling out OR how people perceive salary OR loyalty OR work commute OR discretionary spending OR luxury brands affinity.

Hey folks, Hope it's going well. BLR folks who faced the ruthless traffic yesterday, hope you're in a better place now :p What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything, without having a specific topic to discuss. Think of it like the watercooler at your office. Look forward to hearing from you.
