Libido gone downhill after shifting to BLR

Bangalore's infra has been crumbling under the weight of its population growth. I believe that yesterday's traffic jam was just a trailer and situation will only worsen with time. Seriously contemplating moving out of Bangalore after being here for last 5 years. People who moved out, where did you move? And are you happy now with your decision ?

"Macha why do you like Bangalore? Weather bro." These tech bros can't stand normal weather, but will go through shitty infra, traffic, hooliganism, and what not for slightly better weather.

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

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.

I am recently gonna shift to Kalyan nagar near Manyata tech park with 2 of my college mates. Both of them have their offices in Manyata tech park and I have my office near forum mall, Koramangala. The reason we are shifting from SG Palya, near christ to Kalyan nagar is that they both have their offices 5 days a week while I have to go only twice a week. My commute is gonna be 14km long one way. We searched for flats in cox town, frazer town, Kodihalli, but either the flats were not available for bachelors or were going way over the budget. At the end of a 3 days long hunt, we found a decent place to stay in kalyan nagar’s, T Krisna Reddy layout. What are the multiple ways to make my commute more efficient. People of blr who already have been commuting please share some advice.

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

Tired of every fucking thing in this city. Born and brought up in this city. Life was good. However its not the same now. Fucking overpopulation, overcrowding, over expensive rent, food, where are we heading. Public transport is good, lol, try traveling for your 9-5 job. Roads are broken. Traffic is terrible. Monsoon about to worsen things more. A pm wants to conduct a rally in this city, and my 1.5 hours of travel turns out to be of 4.5 fucking hours. Have just watched 2people fall off the local train. Someone has to step in and please do something. Please stop the population from increasing. Please do something.

I have spent most of my working life (about 17 years) in Pune barring a few years outside India for an onsite assignment. During the initial phase of my career I was always desperate to relocate to NCR which is close to my hometown, say 12 hrs by train or road, unlike 24-36 hrs from Pune. However I feel a bit confused now about it. I am not sure how easy/difficult and stupid/wise it would be to make a move now. Any suggestions feedback?

I got an offer from a firm - good job, decent hike. Contemplating wether making a move is worth it, day 1 of me reaching and it’s flooded already! Should I move back ?

Hey everyone, Thought of creating a daily post where we all can hang around and talk just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss. Think of this like the Watercooler at your office. Look forward to hearing from y'all :)
