Leaving Blr in 4 months- Rant

Came to Bangalore to join an in-office role, the org and role is good.

But coming from Gurgaon, I was not able to like the city.

Some cons:

  • Extremely poor infrastructure like a tier 2 city

  • Every govt official is corrupt, police can harass you anywhere

  • You neither feel homely nor is there any vibe of a cosmopolitan city. Local politics will not let this city become a cosmopolitan startup hub. Gurgaon is so so much better.

  • Everyone just wants to loot money, everything is expensive. Rent is high, landlord deducting 1 month extra rent, unnecessarily high security amount, cook and maid everything is so effin’ expensive

  • Alcohol is expensive.

  • Good food is expensive

The value of money is lesser here as compared to the rest of the country.

I have a flight tonight and I am so happy that it’s a one way flight.

I don’t mean to offend anyone, but bangalore can be very lonely and it has been so for many of my friends.

Particularly ease of life is much higher in NCR and that’s why a lot of people move back. Those who feel otherwise haven’t lived in NCR so Bangalore is more of just a bubble for them.

Adios!

I have been to NCR, cant stand the crazy honking and the air pollution. I prefer expensive living than not living.

It's not all cons some are kinda mixed -

  • Year round good weather and low pollution is worth trading off for higher rent and slightly more expensive standard of living
  • It's safer for women compared to NCR
  • there are lakes and greenery in the city!
  • corrupt police and locals or angry jaat Bros in fortuners, pick your poison
  • you can ask the auto driver to help debug code as he also knows c++ in Bangalore

Disagree with a lot of points but I understand that you are using stereotypes and humour to make a point.

Yea. Like I have seen many people move from here to Bangalore with no plans to ever come back and some who came back and never plan to leave.
Depends on what you are looking for in the end I guess

Left Bangalore a long while ago due to similar reasons. Hyderabad or Gurgaon are MUCH better in my experience.

Want to move back to NCR

Hey folks, I recently moved to Bangalore for a role at angel one and I am not liking the city. All my life I lived and worked in NCR and I’ve realised that me and my wife can’t live anywhere outside NCR. No friends in Blr plus far away f...

Is this end near for BLR?

It's crazy how this native-non native issue persists immensely in Bangalore. No other developed city like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Pune has this.

Bangalore is going down big time with so much rising hate in the city.

Then why were these Kannada people crying during COVID and begging the government to make outsiders come to Bangalore...
