Bangalore chronicles end 😪

  • Met bunch of nicest humans. People are the best thing about Bangalore (after weather ofc)
  • The weather though 🤌🏻
  • Was lucky enough to get autos and cabs on time, no cancellations (ok maybe just 1), the drivers were sweet too. I messed up location once, the auto driver said no problem madam. Next time, cab driver stopped me to ask for 5 star rating. 😅
  • Had the bestest Dosa ever at MTR. Why are you not hyping this? This deserves more love than any other
  • Finally ticked Magnolia off list. Just too sweet!! how are Bangaloreans having this level of sweet and not gaining weight?? 🤔 🥲
  • The entrepreneurial spirit of Bangalore is contagious.
  • Do all startup bros talk in abbreviations? I felt too old for the generation really

Because MTR isn’t the best dosa in Bangalore. It isn’t even the best dosa in South Bangalore. :)

Whatttt?!

Which one is?

Hahahha. We will 100% tell you the answer but it comes at a cost of little bit kannada. MTR is honestly not even in top 5 I think.

Next time when you are here. Speak a few lines and we will let you in. Best yet even @CheckOut might sponsor you🙂

Wasn't going to say this, but since it was already pointed out to you, MTR isn't in my top 5. My list is different:

  • Mulabagilu Dosa (had at a stall outside Jayanagara metro)
  • Podi Masala Dosa (best I had was at Sri Krishna Kafe in Koramangala)
  • Mysore Masala Dosa (from Aarogya Upahara in JP Nagara)
  • Dawanagere Benne Dosa (NASA Food Court in Kanakapura Road, Thalaghattapura)
  • Thuppa Dosa (Krishnam Udupi Hotel, Raghuvanahalli)
  • Nellore Karam Dosa (Nellore Tiffen Room, HSR layout)

Why didnt I see this post earlier? I came back from blr last night.

Didn’t want to have much dosas/idlis - TheFilterCoffee & Rameshwaram were enough - tried normal places like Truffles, Empire, etc

Will try MTR next time!

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.

Bangalore is an over-rated city

"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.

Why does Bangalore suck so much?

Came down from Delhi NCR for just two days. Everything here was sub par. Weather, traffic, offices, food, you name it
