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.

To all the people of Delhi, does the 999 AQI bother you? Or have we become complacent with chalta hai attitude? Because I don't see any protest on the streets , Demand for WFH or policy changes by state or center. Are we okay risking our life and shortening our lifespan in gas chambers?

Does the 999 AQI bother you

I live in the top floor(terrace just above) of a apartment and the heat here is making me crazy.
My bed is hot, my fan isn't giving enough air, it's hot air everywhere.
I in general sweat a lot. When I go to sleep and wake up, my entire bed is wet from sweat and can't sleep for few hours because of the heat.
For the entire day, I am shirtless and still can't take the heat. 
  To make matters worse, electricity goes at anytime even in the middle of the day. That time, it feels like sweat won't stop at all.
  I don't have an AC here or power backup and the heat is fucking with my mental peace. Even the water from the filter is hot water🥲

Bangalore heat with power cut is making me mad

Bangalore is so damn hot. What are yall doing to stay fine?

Our summers are becoming dangerous with every passing day, gone are the days of your childhood where 35degreed  would be peak of the day.
It's not even April yet and the temperature is barely going below 30s even at night, and it's not specific to one place, across the India whoever I talk to shares the same experience,
And the sad part is it's only going to get worse, more trees will be cut down to build highways and infrastructure to sustain our population and its needs, we still have to pull out 100s of million people out of acute low income level.
Global warming will be our biggest challenge in the following decades.
What is grapeviners opinion on this?

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.

I know folks working in Kolkata generally makes less than folks from other city but just wanted to see the exact difference . Would be great if folks working in Kolkata or staying in Kolkata while engaged in remote job can share there compensation details . Kindly be truthful and honest. We can make a community and can help each other to reach greater scale. Let me share mine

Hey Bangalore Folks. Do you also feel the heat during the night? I immensely feel the hot air sucking in especially during the nights. Don’t know if it is got to do with bedroom orientation in the house. 

P.S :  New to Bangalore and thought you never needed AC here unlike a chennai or delhi.

Do you feel the heat at night?

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?

Kolkata heating up like hell !
