No you are not . And Bangalore honestly feels least attacked by climate catastrophe tbh. I keep travelling between Assam (my hometown) and Bangalore and I can say you this . Assam is currently totally unlivable . It’s ridiculously humid , very hot and hard to stay out for even an hour . A place where there was less use of fan throughout the year now requires AC all the time

Climate Change Impact on India's Water Scarcity | Acharya Prashant

Dear Bangalore :(- Grapevine

Ranting about the weather in bangalore. Join in!

Why is Bangalore so hot these days? 🥵

Today I watched a youtube video from OpenLetter having title: What destroyed Bengaluru? | Save Bengaluru | Open Letter
I have watched other youtube videos also saying that Banglore has a bad infrastructure, it has the shortage of water, it has very high cost of living etc.
While I find that for your IT career growth, Banglore is the best place. You have lots of opportunities here. Banglore has more educated people as compared to other IT HUb cities like Gurgaon or Noida (I live in Gurgaon right now). 
It's true that Banglore has bad traffic situation but are the youtubers exaggerating this or is this really true?
Is it true that Banglore has a bad infrastructure as compared to other cities of India?
While when I went to Banglore, I found it better than the other cities.

According to the EASE OF LIVING INDEX: Banglore is the most livable city in India but I have watched some videos from youtubers continously saying that Banglore has destroyed.

Finally hit my apartment in Indiranagar. Anyone else facing it? 

Didn’t think it was that big of a crisis since I didn’t know who was facing any shortage.

Bangalore Water Crisis

It is clear that our climate is headed for the worst..

Why do some people still deny climate change and global warming?

How you guys are spending this weekend? 

For me, I am traveling, so spending some time at airport. Amazed to see volume of passengers even in a Tier2 city, for sure boost to indigo top line😯

Scary times ahead for people in Bengaluru

How are you all even surviving without water?

Bangalore is so effin hot right now and there's low water

Worst time to be in Bangalore. Its become unliveable. I have been in Bangalore for 20+ years. But the last 2 years are nightmare, construction everywhere, broken roads, crazy traffic, no water, its hot as Mumbai. what's happening. Once a beautiful city, now a nightmare. sad!

Water scarcity & summer

Sales

Bangalore, my 'Karm Bhoomi' and the heart of the global software industry, is facing an acute #water crisis. With taps running dry and a pricing war waging over water tankers, the situation is reminiscent of Arrakis, where only the rich had access to water. Our maid now arrives earlier to ensure dishes are washed before the water ceases at noon and later comes to do other chores. Getting to work is another battle—an exercise in managing daily routines with packaged water, only to be stuck in the city's traffic with blaring heat.

Unlike Arrakis, though, Bangalore is supposed to have numerous lakes and a functioning water cycle as part of the city's ecosystem. So how did we get here?

Inadequate rainfall and overexploitation of groundwater resources (47% of borewells under Govt. Board (BMRDA & BWSSB) in the city have ceased to yield water), coupled with inefficient….

Co-founder

Came to Bangalore to join an in-office role, the org and role is good. 

But coming from Gurgaon, I was not able to like the city. 

Some cons: 

- Extremely poor infrastructure like a tier 2 city 
- Every govt official is corrupt, police can harass you anywhere 
- You neither feel homely nor is there any vibe of a cosmopolitan city. Local politics will not let this city become a cosmopolitan startup hub. Gurgaon is so so much better. 

- Everyone just wants to loot money, everything is expensive. Rent is high, landlord deducting 1 month extra rent, unnecessarily high security amount, cook and maid everything is so effin’ expensive 

- Alcohol is expensive. 

- Good food is expensive 

The value of money is lesser here as compared to the rest of the country. 

I have a flight tonight and I am so happy that it’s a one way flight. 

I don’t mean to offend anyone, but bangalore can be very lonely and it has been so for many of my friends. 

Particularly ease of life is much higher in NCR and that’s why a lot of people move back. Those who feel otherwise haven’t lived in NCR so Bangalore is more of just a bubble for them. 

Adios!

Alright,  Bangalore is the best city in India. It's not just the best, it's in a league of its own compared to other cities.

First off, let's talk about the weather. Bangalore's weather is perfect all year round, magical. Unlike heat waves of Delhi and the shit humidity of Mumbai, Bangalore's climate is the best. 

Who wants to sweat anytime you step out or freeze to death in winters? Not me. 

Bangalore is where the real innovation happens. Really smart people making this country better. These Delhi Bombay kids caught lacking for real.

And the people? Bangalore's got the best of the country. It's cosmopolitan. You've got people from all over the country, and everyone's more educated and progressive. 

So, let's cut to the chase. Bangalore is the best city, hands down. The rest of India can keep dreaming, but they'll never catch up.

Bangalore is the Best city in India

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

There is a reason why u r asked to get out of city. And locals don't usually say that to Telugus or Tamils or Marathis. It's predominantly aimed at a section from somewhere and a major reason is people from that somewhere are generally crap(sorry for stereotyping).

1. Be grateful for the local land, culture and set up. 
Problems exist everywhere, solve it if you can, remember that you were not born in a palace.

2. Learn the local culture, actualize it, propagate it. Massive influx of immigrants wipes out the existing culture. Onus is on you to not only protect it but spread it as well. If you don't then yes, u should get the fck out.

3. India is a mix of cultures. Just how Hindi is important a language so is kannada. Telugu or Tamil or everyone. Did you even know Kannada has won 8 Jnanapith awards(highest literary honour) vs Hindi's 11 despite the miniscule population of kannada infront of Hindi?
Do you even know how rich kannada literature is? Do you really believe it deserves death in its own crown jewel(Bangalore?). Who do you think you are if you think this city should speak the language of people u come from but don't put an effort to speak the city's language.

Live and let live. Yes that's a 2 way street. Onus has always been on you. After more thab decade of handing you guys an olive branch, now the city has realised our open gesture is taken for granted. Well, make no mistake we will teach you the right way. Onus is still on you!

Don't bring this shyt to Bangalore or south cities and ruin it

Data engineer

Jammu (in Kashmir) touched 43°C today

It is not even funny now.
The water never cools down, not even at 5am.

Almost 8 pm, temp is 41°C. Monsoons are still 2 weeks away

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

Why does Bangalore suck so much?

Software Developer

Have you had similar water situation in the past? Always thought Bangalore as a lake city, but looks like most of them aren’t taken care of. 
 
Ps: for those who’re not aware of the situation- https://x.com/vishalbhargava5/status/1764630983285055821?s=46&t=HfDEg0soIC4CrLsxfWgXXA

For the folks who’ve lived in Bangalore for more than a decade

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?

Dear Bangalore :(
