It's sad that a genuine post gets so many cynical responses. I'm sure most of you are going through some shit but it doesn't hurt to be hopeful once in a while.
As someone who has grown up here and seen it change I think the most beautiful thing about namma Bengaluru is and will always be its people. I know it sounds hypocritical to both sides of the north south debate but I genuinely feel so.
Rarely does a city bring together so many people from everywhere. It's raw, far from perfect and even the weather sucks now but I still see a lot of hope in a city that's young and driven.
I've made friends with people from every corner of the country just by joining playo and playing football. A lot of entrepreneurs I have worked with and gave me a chance have nothing in common with me other than the fact that I meant them by chance here in Bangalore. It's a place brimming with ideas, some are wild, but a lot of them come from a good place. I'll be the first to point out how they'll fail but I will never discourage or deny them the chance.
I understand Mumbai and Delhi are equally if not more cosmopolitan (and Hyderabad too) but I believe in terms of raw potential Bangalore still has a lot going for it. So yeah, that's it.
I can almost predict the replies to my comment so imma switch off notifications XD.
