Unless you  love poverty porn, you didnt miss anything. except for few areas,  most older part of city is nothing more than dilapidated slum.  Slum so worse that Columbia-that  we see in movies, will look like developed European city.

Don't forget who is the CM of the state. She is going to convert the state into a big slum. Because that's how she will thrive.

Wtf! Kolkata has a special place in my heart and trams are iconic to Kolkata 
 Over the years they did reduce the frequencies and distances trams covered, but the people never let trams out of commission at all due to it's history and uniqueness to Kolkata. 
 I can't believe it's discontinued

Same. It has nostalgic memories stuck with so many of us.  
 But good that they discontinued it - no maintenance, lost charm, and an increase in traffic. And above all, West Bengal is being governed by that lady, what good can we expect. 🤷

Every time I come back to my hometown of Kolkata, I see a deserted "para" or neighbourhood. Almost everyone I grew up with has left the city, leaving behind old parents. Beautiful big houses which were built by the earlier generations in the hope that one day the next generation would come to live with them torn down making way to ugly flats. It just breaks my heart. What are your feelings?

Leaving Kolkata

How would you describe the personalities of various cities in India?

Travelling to Kolkata for a couple of days, what to eat and do ?

Came to blr for the first time. And I was greeted with traffic jam. Blr is so far behind on basic city infrastructure. Imo even Kolkata has better roadways and connectivity. 
But the Bengaluri metro is impressive.

(Also why is the airport outside the city?)

Bangalore traffic

I got some suggestions from some of you guys to visit Museum of Art and Photography and it was an interesting experience 

I ended up strolling around and enjoyed Cubbon Park, Vidhana Soudha etc

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

Keeping my biases aside, I've seen 2 sides of the entire people's behaviour and culture:

1. Locals (folks from the city/state) are known to refer to the ones from other states as "outsiders" or "immigrants". We have seen some extreme cases where the people not from Karnataka are expected to understand Kannada.

2. People from outside, working in Bengaluru seem to complain about things beyond the point 1 instances and keep saying "It's just the weather that's good, everything else sucks". 

Note:

1. Having more people (especially working individuals) in the city has a direct impact on city/state revenues. These working individuals earn, and spend

2. Flexing "Kannada" by locals (especially service providers) is stupidity. They do realise that if the population drops they'll have lesser business (think, autos and cab drivers asking passengers to know Kannada)

3. People flocking in the city for their jobs, the traffic problems are obvious - if you opt for shared transport (metro, buses), we'll find a slightly relaxed traffic. You flex your two and three wheelers, what do you expect?

4. Outsiders or insiders, we have decided and chosen to stay here by trading off certain things to get benefits (mostly pay and growth opportunities), so it's our choice afterall

Why do we still keep bashing and targeting each other 🫠 

Love 💞 and Peace ✌🏻

Bengaluru - An Attitude Check

Growth Marketer

- Where is the "weather" everyone boasted about? I have fcking melted!

- Saw YT influencer Beyounick, he saw me, thought would come for a picture. I didn’t 🤭 

- Got Ola from Airport to Richmond at 319! Yay?
No, the driver missed the stop 3 times, so had to walk till hotel. 

- Saw a hot rich guy in a swanky car, with windows rolled down?!! Switch on the AC man!

- On the back of car "Money is like Dettol, solves 99.9% problems" 😅😅

Also, I have list of food recommendations which will take 3 lives to finish.
Suggest something for dinner near Richmond. No Biryani for today though

Bengaluru has started on a dull note 😮‍💨

What has quietly disappeared from society without people noticing in the last 10-20 years

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.

Data analyst

Excuse me Bengaluru?

I am planning to settle down in one particular city in the next  3 to 5 years. I am currently evaluating Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune. 
From long term perspective ( for next 20 to 30 years) Which city will offer better job prospects ( IT/Software Development/Product Management/Strategy related jobs) along with a decent life style supported by satisfactory amenities like  Gated housing options which are not super expensive, Good schooling options for kids, Decent commuting facilities like Metro, wide roads etc. 
Interested to hear feedback from folks who went through or going through this dilemma.
