Apparently, the car was carrying a child and his mother and the child was ill. The ambulance driver overtook a car in traffic to rush to hospital. And these drunk idiots in the car chased him down, stopped the ambulance and trashed the ambulance driver. 

Not sure what happened next especially to the child who was seriously ill. Saw this post on reddit and it was just terrifying to watch.

"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.

Bangalore is an over-rated city

People cribbing about weather, where are they now?

Bengaluru is back

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hi,
I am a 2023 graduate and currently working in a product based startup in Indiranagar. When I came to Bangalore a few months ago, it was all fun and exciting. I still love my work (working in multiple tech stacks). But somehow life outside the work has become somewhat boring. I do go on bike ride trips but again can't go every weekend.

I play badminton and cricket sometimes but still feel bored sometimes.

I don't go to clubs as I don't drink and smoke. Would love if you folks can suggest something?

How to chill in Bangalore?

What do you think about infrastructure of Banglore with thoughts of yesterday's incident ?

Is it good or too bad 
Or just underpass should get closed ?

How many of you live in Bangalore?

I hate it but my company forces me to move there. It's one of the worst cities i lived. Weather and food is amazing but the quality of daily life is just not worth it with traffic, gundas, the constant digging and of course the supreme land owners demanding inflated rents

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

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 ✌🏻

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?

Is it just me or is the traffic getting wode worse?

Finally someone said it 🙏  
 Why is Staying at home looked down upon

People in Bengaluru are ready to pay 75k for a 3bhk, 50k for a 2bhk in famous builder societies. Rents for apartments which were 35k before 2021 are demanding 55k onwards nowadays. Why are people tolerating this shit ? Why are people still opting to stay in so called societies? 
Gyms hardly 5 PC people use 
Swimming pools are used occasionally 
Sports facilities are also not very commonly used. 

Why are people paying such large premiums for amenities they don't really use ?

Crazy rents in Bengaluru

It's cute when my cash cows protest♥️😍

Sooo I feel like Bangalore is a city that lives on Hype, everyone is just trying to be cool and are too afraid of actually call out stuff for what they are. 

Few examples (my personal opinion) 

Eat Naru - it’s good ramen, but you can definitely find better or as good (bookings are sold out in minutes) 
Pizza 4Ps - Average pizza, great hospitality but not worth waiting for a booking a month in advance 
Ultrahuman ring - It’s not even that accurate for that price 
March Tee - good T-shirt, but you can find so much better at that price point 


I like to call this the Bangalore Hype Train xP

#BangaloreHypeTrain

Totally Agree with this, everyone wants to get validation or some kind of approval from ultra rich or dumb influencers, I think it's totally influenced by Tech Cuties mostly from North India working in Startups (HSR, Koramangala). These dumbfucks who never stepped out of their world get excited for silly things, imagine people standing outside a biryani shop at 4am, people standing in a queue sandwich..uff this all insta validation stories matters for them, they seek happiness by impressing or making someone jealous of.

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

Bombay’s the financial capital of India and Bangalore’s the Silicon Valley of India. Which one would you prefer and why? Would your opinion change w.r.t age (eg. 20s are better in Mumbai vs 30s are better in Bangalore?

Any thoughts?

Bombay vs Bangalore

- 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 😮‍💨

Explosions in cafes as soon as you land. Kinda sus

MB Patil said such attempts do not reflect the healthy competitive spirit states share in a federal system.
