I mean if your comparison is London, yeah it is. Blr? Oh god no, way better.  
  
 Rent is shitty. Very shitty. People with less civics sense with a butt load of money? Too many honestly.

Mujhe bhi Bangalore bula lo meri crush hai Bangalore mai

Gurgaon is so undeveloped with high rents. I already hate this city.

Gurgaon - Shitty Place with high rents

I've been living in BLR all my life and been living in Gurgaon for about 4 months now because of company transfer. I thought BLR was bad until I came to Gurgaon.

1) The complete lack of apathy and compassion is off the charts here. People are so individualistic and small issues turn into huge fights. One example being a guy in a Fortuner hit my Hyundai hatchback from behind and screamed and made a scene when it was his fault and the guys all around supported him, I knew limited Hindi and I had to pay money to get the hell out of the place.

2) Climate and pollution: No words here. Extremely hot and polluted.

3) Rents have almost reached BLR levels or more 

4) infrastructure: I thought BLR infra was shit but roads are non existent here and streets get water logged and stays waterlogged for 10 hours even after rains stopped lol.

It feels like a dead City with no life, depressing and a concrete jungle.

Living in Gurgaon makes living in BLR seem like heaven

Gurgaon folks: don't move to Bengaluru  
 Bengaluru folks: don't move to Gurgaon

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

I dont agree. This is the shittiest place ever.

After getting a bunch of 'buy a house' advice from my in-laws over the weekend, I decided to fire up magicbricks to check prices in Bengaluru. My browsing ended within 5 mins seeing just how much the prices have risen in last 1 year

A 3BHK that used to cost 2.3 Cr last year is now 3.7
A 2BHK that used to cost 1.8 Cr last year is now 2.7

These are two houses I had earmarked for sometime later when I would have more money

WTF is happening in BLR

Did you notice? Bangaluru housing prices have EXPLODED

Time to call in-laws and say that "Aap do jodo mei ladki bhejo ladki huio hamaari"

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!

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am currently WFH, but looking for new opportunities.
Since most of the companies are now demanding on site, which is better for better growth, savings and learning?

Gurgaon/ Noida or Bangalore??

Current Experience ~ 2 years

Which is better?

Trying to gauge if it'll be worth it if I moved places. 
I currently live in east delhi, the commute is 1.5hr each way.

People who have their office in gurgaon, but haven't moved there, why?

I recently got an offer and am planning to move to Gurgaon. I was trying to find an opportunity in Bangalore because I love this place, or maybe it’s just change I detest. But nothing worked out and here I am. 
Has anyone made the same move? Or maybe vice versa? Which place do you think is better and why?

Moving to Gurgaon from Bangalore

Perhaps the best thing about Delhi is it’s relationship with culture and history.

Food, Architecture, Infrastructure, Museums

You are guaranteed to find a place of great cultural and historical significance in all of the above dimensions.

You will be teleported into a bygone era when you’re in the middle of Khan Market at the Faqir Chand Bookstore. An experience unlike the rest.

Finally, I don’t have to worry about travelling 6kms and it taking the entire day. *wink wink Bengaluru* 

Do share your responses though. I love to read about original takes from people who have lived these genuine experience.

[Thread] What is the best thing about your city?

Traffic, Pollution, People, Lifestyle, Rent, etc. I would highly appreciate your views on this.

Is Gurgaon a good place to work?

Was just curious how is life , traffic, work life , shared public spaces etc at your city ?

Do you enjoy it there considering we became the most populated nation ?

How's life in your city ?

I am a north indian myself, but I hate working for Gurgaon based companies/startups. Almost all of them has worst work culture and all of them low balls.

Blr tech >>> Gurgaon tech

Gurgaon companies lowballs

People have this weird notion that Delhi/Gurgaon isn't safe and that the folks here are as warm as an ice cube in Antarctica. Can you believe that? This narrative has been doing the rounds for so long that it's starting to affect the migration of people to this part of the world. But let me set the record straight.

Gurgaon is the real deal. It's the city with good infrastructure and a welcoming vibe for migrants. It's like the cool kid at the party, while Bangalore has a little something called the Bangalore police. Now, these folks, they've got a unique way of welcoming North Indians – by demanding money when they hear you speaking Hindi. Yes, you heard that right.

I've had not one but two laughable encounters with them. Picture this: I'm just out for a casual late-night walk at 11 PM (because who needs sleep, right?), and out pops Mr. Constable, asking for his "fee" and insisting it's against the law to stroll around at that hour. And guess what? I'm not the only one in this comedy club. Hundreds of people have taken to Twitter to share their own hilarious stories.

Now, let's switch gears and talk about Gurgaon. It's got the smooth roads, a fast track to the airport, and apartments where you don't need to sacrifice your life savings as a deposit. It's the practical choice for newcomers.

So, in a nutshell, let's keep challenging these stereotypes and celebrate the positives of each city. Gurgaon, you're the real MVP, and Bangalore, maybe it's time for you to rethink your police's comedy night. City rivalries – always good for a chuckle!

Great to see Delhi NCR people fighting the forced narratives of North vs South

Kaun se bubble me ho student? Golf course road pe rehte ho aur kaam karte ho / college jaate ho? 
  
 Reminds me of Vir Das. I live in 2 Gurgaons. One which has smooth roads, and other where people can’t even walk. 
  
 And yes - people here are arrogant, with zero civic sense - though that’s true for most cities in India, but def worse than Mumbai (stayed there for 10 years, hence can see the difference clearly). 
  
 Let’s not even talk about the air quality, extreme heat and cold (subjective, I know). 
 Traffic post pandemic is not smooth either. In fact people drive extremely bad, and carry a lot of ego while on the road. 
  
 Couple of good things: 
 1. Proximity to airport 
 2. Size of houses 
  
 PS : staying here for the past 4 years.

Not even Gurgaon  😭

New to the city and it makes no sense to me whatsoever. Having lived through all major metros in the country, Bangalore feels like a Tier-2 town covered with Tier-1 wrapping paper.

Why does this city instantly become water logged in 30 seconds of rain?

Probably because they built buildings where lakes provided natural refuge to rain water bro.

TBH I moved to Delhi due to work requirements and for the past 2 weeks water timing has been changed, Electricity gets cut at night just before 10 - 20 mins before current water timing i.e 12:00 at night. Whole areas power has been going off and still no one bothers to complain or asked the authorities. The landlord doesn't wanna know about it or can't do anything about it and roads are the worst tbh stalls can be placed on footpaths which won't be that much of an issue but almost half streets are covered and no-one is bothered with it. Mumbai mein municipality g maar deti logo ki tbh. Drivers are fucking assholes and scums no matter if they have to take the wrong lane they'll do it regardless of the road conditions. I'm disappointed to see how so many people are facing the issues but nobody wants to face the reality and ask questions.
