Build roads but loose as Humans !

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! 🙏🏻

Is everyone here ready to part with their savings?

Is it a W or L for us consumers?

I have lives in a lot of cities, both tier 1 and tier 2. But nowhere have i seen road quality as pathetic as in Bangalore. Even remote villages in UP have better paved roads. And living in Delhi, I had almost forgotten that potholes still exist. I really want to understand how the silicon valley of India has completely failed at building even an average level road infrastructure? Is it due to corruption or something else that we don’t know of?

Honestly it amazes me everyday I step out into traffic in this city. 1. Tempos, autos, two wheelers just parked where ever tf they want, talking to their long lost cousin by the looks of it. 2.The random “hero” scooter dude who HAS to run the red light and almost take me out with him. 3. Jaywalking, lol. What’s that here? As long as you can cross the road with your life be thankful. 4. Lanes are merely a suggestion unless there’s actually a fucking physical barrier that prevents people cutting lanes. It’s pretty much tarmac chaotic dashing cars let loose. Idk how this city will ever handle the progress it’s supposedly destined to have.

But muh clean roads - india is so dirty https://x.com/askanshul/status/1701874598135120235?s=46

I was doing a tax plan for the next FY. A significant chunk is going off my hard earned money 😔 for which I get 🔔 from govt. I hardly use any public facilities , or can simply say they do not exist and are not up to mark Any Tom and harry comes and starts freebies for his noble cause of votes which tax payers like me are not eligible to be benefitted even if I want to take any . Why the heck I have been taxed so much . Even if you get variable pay this month which was already taxed with TDS and If I invest in MF lumpsum and get some gains . The whole amount will again be taxed that too according to my tax bracket . Although I am not considering indirect taxation which is another curse we all are facing . Is everyone pissed with this tax story or simply ignore and move on to pay more tax and grind more .

The number of times I've heard people say shit like 'traveling makes you grow as a person'. Someone please specify what this growth looks like because I've never experienced it. I don't think traveling is life-changing. I think most people have a romanticized, cinema-like idea of traveling that has been exaggerated even more because of social media. It definitely is fun to go on a vacation. But in most cases, that's all it is -- a source of entertainment. Maybe an ice-breaker the next time you go to some pretentious party. Am I missing something?
