Trying really hard to love this country

Although India is a country with great culture and food,but it seems due to lack of unity, selfishness and a tendency to pull down others, India would take light years to be a developed country. Also this has been a major root cause of being attacked by so many invaders over the centuries. Someone who has resources in abundance, would not take any interest to help others in need. Not just basic,but any other thing also. Infact to say,we get easily influenced by anything. We don't have our own identity just like the French. Shoot your comments....

Whenever I read foreign media outlets, India is the new Asian Tiger that will outpace most emerging economies in growth. But Indian media and Indian people act like India is the worst place to be. The dichotomy is extremely confusing. Why is it that foreign media coverage on our economy is more favourable than our own hopes and aspirations from this country? PS: I am really big on Indian Exceptionalism, the belief that India's economic development and trajectory are unique or exceptional compared to other nations, driven by our large and diverse population, thriving middle class, our entrepreneurial spirit, and the emphasis on technology and innovation.

It's a very Indian mindset to treat or look down upon people who make a lot of money. We find some or the other reason to bring them down. We call them names. Though most of our life problems can be solved by money. Just like there is an American dream I think the Indian dream is to stay middle class and bitch about people who do the hard work. I understand that there are certain classes of people who are truly disadvantaged in terms of caste or patriarchy but for others it's just being lazy and reluctant to change. Bitching about people who are successful just gives them a sense of achievement without actually putting in the effort.

This happened to my ex flatmate in 2019. He's a Chinese Indian guy from Kolkata (relevant), was working an entry level job at a FAANG company going home after a night shift on his bike. Drunk local on a bike starts swerving around in front of him, he tries to overtake but is forced to stop because the guy blocked his way and braked hard. This happened near Marathahalli. Drunk guy comes up to him and starts blabbering dumb shit, accusing him of stealing his phone followed by racist comments. Then proceeds to call the cops from his phone which was actually in his own pocket (make of that what you will). Cops take them both to the station. Drunk guy cooks up some story in Kannada and leaves. Cops start grilling my flatmate, more racist comments, threaten to go check his room (our flat) and start bullying him. Said he kind of looked like one of the wanted posters they had. He knew basic kannada so he had an idea of what racist stuff the cops were saying about him that they thought he didn't understand. He was messaging me updates in the brief moments that he had his phone with him, which was confiscated by cops for the most part. Eventually they let him go because there was literally no crime and no proof. Tl;dr - He had to spend 6+ hours in the station because of one drunk asshole and racist cops who just liked to give non-locals a hard time for no good reason.

Living in Bangalore is like participating in a daily obstacle course of stupidity these days. It's like the city is hosting the World Championships of Not Using Common Sense. Day by day, it’s getting crazy in here. People are literally just straight-away stupid. Picture this: I'm in the metro, following the line like some good boii. But no, here come the backline breakers, sprinting ahead like they just got the memo that the free WiFi is about to expire. They won’t even have the patience to let others deboard from the station (bs ghusna hai sbko). On the road: Small Aile is there, and these morons either walk in the middle of the road or walk slowly like they are going to maaiyat. There is no way to even overtake them. One day a couple was literally just standing in the middle of the fucking metro entry gate, and all other people were going from sides. I was literally at my fucking limits; I controlled the urge to ask them that whatever shit they're discussing, if that is a national concern, then it’s okay; otherwise, please fuck around on the side. And what’s up with this throwing garbage on the road thing, literally every morning on the road, tons of food, spillage, and disposals of whatnot can be seen. God, please throw it in the trash.

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.
