I am someone who doesn't go out too much. What do you do and how do you guys spend your life in bangalore?

Am i the only one who feels lonely occasionally in Bangalore?

Software Engineer

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.

I recently moved to Bangalore and almost immediately went into a zone of persistently feeling sad and hopeless. I refused to take antidepressants. I am doing slightly better after few sessions of therapy, but I want to know some other alternatives? Anybody experienced the same thing? What makes it better? Bangalore feels like a culture-less city tbh.

Depression is common in Bangalore?

It's same for all metro. But I will tell what helped me. 
  
 Don't just work and eat sleep. 
  
 Pursue few hobbies...like i picked swimming, running and gym on weekends. 
  
 Read books... 
  
 Travel to South Indian places and beaches hill stations. 
  
 Read spiritual books or listen to them. 
  
 Eat healthy, watch healthy, think healthy. 
  
 Always take care of parents n siblings health especially.

It's crazy how this native-non native issue persists immensely in Bangalore. No other developed city like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Pune has this. 

Bangalore is going down big time with so much rising hate in the city.

Is this end near for BLR?

Then why were these Kannada people crying during COVID and begging the government to make outsiders come to Bangalore so they could afford food to eat?

Hi folks, 

I wanted to know how you tackle this feeling of loneliness and being lost in the city. When you have no one to talk with and always being homesick.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I'm a 28-year-old married (Wife is also working) individual currently residing in Kolkata, where the living expenses are relatively low. I have 5 years of work experience, and my current compensation package is 28 lakhs fixed and 3 lakhs variable (approximately 1.95 lakhs in-hand salary after deductions). With no liabilities or responsibilities, my monthly expenses are around 40,000 INR, and I manage to invest around 1.5 lakhs per month.

Currently, I enjoy a stable job and live with my parents, who take care of most of my living expenses. However, I'm considering the possibility of switching jobs and moving to another city, which would require me to bear the additional costs of rent, food, and other living expenses on my own.

Question: Given my current financial situation and the potential for increased living costs in a new city, should I explore a job switch and relocation? Or should I continue with my current stable job and living arrangement in Kolkata, where my expenses are minimal? What factors should I consider when making this decision?

Should I switch and move to bangalore

Nah stay there only. Why relocate to Bangalore If you are earning a decent amount and living with your family happily.

Paying 3.2L for this view every month. The rent hurts a lot but the view makes it worth it to me. ❤️

How much do you pay for rent in Bombay?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I am a middle class guy working as a senior engineer in one of the product companies. I belong from the north-east, and I am the only child in my family. 

Since covid, I was working in a wfh setup. Recently, my company has ended work from home for everyone, and I am supposed to move to Bangalore very soon or quit. 

I am an active user on all social media groups on Reddit, Fb, etc. For the past couple of months after seeing so much of negative news about Bangalore, Especially the high population, skyrocketing rents, the auto unions, corruption, cut-throat competition, discriminative news, traffic issues, etc. It makes me nervous to be honest. My wfh here was pretty chill, and I had a very limited social circle here, but was satisfied since I could spend most time with my mom and dad. 

Im very afraid now about what should I do next, shall I quit the job and search for wfh, or shall I make my move. I don’t have any acquaintances there, no friends, no idea about what I’ll be doing next, how to start house hunting, or job hunting. At this point I am miserable and overwhelmed to think about all of this. 

Anyone who has gone through all of these, If you can share your 2cents, experiences or thoughts, about how you dealt this phase. It will be really helpful for me at this point in my journey. Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

Afraid about moving to Blr

Get a wfh job ... period. 
  
 Bangalore is overrated. 
  
 Better to move to noida...u will face less racism

Rant. Chappri Interns and mid af SDEs on LinkedIn have destroyed the entire point of the platform. Every Tier 1 graduate working at Microsoft or Walmart posts their own pic in some Manali hillstation and give 400 lines of unsolicited gyaan, which virgin btech 2nd year students cant help but drool at.

I get it bro/sis, you mugged up 800 LC mediums and Microsoft came to your BITS campus and picked you up because you solved a system design question in the interview which scales infinitely for infinite users. No, i dont want to enroll is PrepCracker's System Design Cohort for just Rs 69,999 and replace Hotstar's CTO.

Folks like Arpit Bhayani and Addy Osmani are the only reason I open linkedin to actually get some ground level reality of how to be a better SWE, but all i see is bhaiyya didi telling me why my resume is not getting selected because i didnt pay Rs. 1,999 for their Topmate Resume Review session.

Due to them Twitter is full of 2nd year dimwits who think swe is the only path to liberation and their bhaiyya didi will be their guiding angel. They won't. They'll turn out just like your average 3.5lpa employee at WITCH. The only way to become a good swe is figure shit out yourself and do what you love. Its that simple. Im from a shit tier 3 college. I've cracked FAANG and that too with 42 lc solved. What DSA bro?

Thankyou to the Grapevine team for building a good platform where genuine watercooler discussions take place. Deleted LinkedIn for good until i get my sanity back.

LinkedIn Gyaanis should be banned

Middle class people are not wrong in thinking that swe is a path to their liberation. I could only afford to travel to these exotic places, take up (unnecessary) hobbies, pursue gym and eat good after earning those fat paychecks because of these overvalued startups paying me

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Bangalore is a lonely city. 

Even lonelier if you don't have friends whom you already know. 

Fortunately, I was lucky, and having lived here for 5 years since my college started here , I want to help!

I'm creating a small community of folks in Bangalore where like-minded people can meet, talk, help, and become friends over good food! without having to spend much on meetups and apps to socialise. I Do not know why, even i feel lonely many times in this city, 

Lets create a community not restricted to particular area and create a home feeling for outsiders from Bangalore too, making our work, life, networks, pocket, purse, mind friendly.

PS: At least have a have a hand full of friends to navigate Bangalore traffic in weekdays



To all the techies, feel free to approach; we might not know what we might find common for all of us. Also, also board games are fun in Bangalore

Making a community in Bangalore

I have permanent WFH and have been doing the same since 1 year.
But now I feel I'm missing out on things that my friends living in Delhi are doing.
For context: I have a girlfriend, would love to live with her. Have friends that are all in Delhi.
Yes, the money is piling up in my account but I feel like I am having no memories of my 20s. I had college in lockdown. And now job at home.
I don't go out, have no friends here. Just wake up, work, sleep. Don't feel like going anywhere.
Thinking about moving to Delhi but 20-25k per month is making me skeptical about it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

In hand monthly ~50k

Moving to Delhi instead of WFH

I was at a friends place and it suddenly started raining heavily. I had to reach my girlfriends place ASAP. She was already very angry that I was not spending enough time with her. The problem was that I was not getting any auto on Uber or Rapido.

I stopped an auto and asked it for a ride. He quoted Rs 800 for a 4km ride. I was like, "Are you crazy?" 
I somehow negotiated it down to Rs. 500. But it made me wonder why is this city like this.

Like everyone is trying to scam you. Every one is a grifter, from your landlord to auto wallahs to the cops.

Have you faced such things in this city?

Why do people take advantage of you in Bangalore?

Uber guys also not getting Uber. 
 Such is reality 😪

One of my friends got an offer during campus placements with a good base pay, later his offer was postponed without clear doj, now he got another offer after 8 months of struggle with a very low salary, now he is getting calls from different startups tho they are good paying companies due to his lower pay rn they are not willing to pay much, what should be the better option he should follow ? He is very good enough in tech among all of us and he is from tier 1 college...

I'm 25 and it's fuking lonely on the weekends. I stopped initiating meetups, afraid they might be busy, now I spend the weekends alone in my room. I live with my family, but now l'm fuking fed up of living in the same house as them. They don't understand anything, just act and talk as if they know everything about me. I don't have enough money to live with other people on rent, nor I am able to find a job in another city. I hate myself and my fuking life. I wish I could do something other than shouting whenever my parents all to me.

Sometimes what I think about the EY employee who died, she is lucky she's in a better place now.
