There’s live wire on every corner in this city

A 23-year-old woman and her nine-month-old daughter lost their lives due to electrocution near the Hope Farm Junction in Bengaluru. The family accidentally stepped on a live wire left abandoned on the pavement. The incident has sparked an inquiry, and the energy minister has announced the suspension of the negligent Bescom officials.

"The extent of water surface in Bengaluru during 1973 was 2,324 hectares. Over the last 50 years, due to reckless concretization, the water surface has shrunk considerably. Of the remaining water bodies, 98% of lakes are encroached upon and 90% of them are fed with untreated sewage or industrial effluents. Naturally, this has impacted the recharge of the groundwater table as well," IISc's Prof TV Ramachandra had told TOI.

Bengaluru's severe water crisis and traffic congestion are prompting tech giants to consider relocating from the $245 billion IT hub. The city's civic challenges may impact India's IT industry landscape, compelling companies to explore emerging cities.

If they buiild more "lake-view" apartments, there will be no more lakes left, not that there are many left.

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?

Assistant Manager

Total failure and negligence of Bangalore police 👮‍♂️ 
I don't even know one person in my friend circle who feels opposite than all the things am sharing in this post.
You can't even commute in bangalore.
1. If you book auto: 🛺
There's high prob of getting in a fight with auto wala due to his rough tone and hatered among north indians.
These people have no fear and run gangs in bangalore
2. If you travel by car 🚘,bike 🏍️
Don't even get me started on road rages by locals.
Bangalore police is totally corrupt.

I don't even know what will happen if I hit someone badly in my self defence. Am 500% sure that police will charge me to fetch money.
I fu**ing hate this city.
After this post i know most kannadigas will say ... "Then leave our city."These people are just idiots and stupid.

What’s happening in Bangalore 😧

The recent presence of armed gangs attempting to break into villas and apartments in two gated communities in Sarjapur has caused widespread panic in the area. CCTV footage captured a five-member gang, armed with lethal weapons, loitering inside the Metropolis Fair Oaks gated community in Sarjapur. However, the president and the vice-president of the Metropolis Fair Oaks union declined to comment when approached by DH reporters, fearing potential backlash for speaking their minds.

Wtf. About 2 months ago, something very similar happened in my gated society (Koramangala)

You really think Bangalore traffic can’t get worse. Like no way right?! aaaand the city just shows you the finger. 

Main road what? Service road who?

Bangalore Traffic Mosh Pits >> Any Travis Scott concert

I was standing near Whitefield in my 4 wheeler around midnight, just away from the hustle bustle of the fast life, smoking a cigarette and had a beer 1 hour before the incident (beer can was present in the car) when a police Jeep stopped and asked me to come out. 

They checked my entire car (to find more illegal drugs 'read Marijuana') but didn't find anything. 

Started threatening me with the car seizure. 
When I asked them to do breath analyzer test as I was 100% sure of being in the permissible limit, they asked me to come to police station for the same after they issue me a challan. 

How can they issue a drink driving challan when I am not drunk and without a breath analyzer?
And started threatening me with 25000 rs fine plus car being released in 6 months plus more than a lac of rupees in lawyer cost. (Ofcourse bullshitting me)

They were doing the proper good cop bad cop tactic and I had to pay them 7k bribe just to get out of there. (Couldn't risk the whole court drama, couldn't afford time as I was roaming without the knowledge of my family and avoid anxiety to them and my car also has northern registration)


But is this justified ? 
Can we not even smoke a cigarette in our vehicle in this godforsaken city  ? 
Do we need to be mindful of the goons or the police ? 

Anyways, what is the best way to get out of such situations?

Harassment by police patrol

you paid them bribes and have the audacity to question them doing illegal stuff ?  
  
 you are part of the problem

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.

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.

Rising Hatred in Karnataka

Anyone in arm banglore . Need referral.

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

Never expected Bangalore to reach this level tbh, this is as bad if not worse than Delhi NCR

I never used the Blind app to say, "People connected to each other over a thread and planned to meet outside the app, calling it a Blind date". Not giving any shit about that app.

Why don't we start it here again? - NCR people are no less

Let's see if we can beat bumble and shaadi.com - No need to beat the shit, just date

Just enough to drop your details in this format.

Changed the title from Blind Date to Wine Date, cheers to Grapevine ;)
