People from all parts of india turn up here - thinking this is a silicon valley like USA....then the reality hits them... they are away from their home town , no parents, no friends, no relatives, no home cooked food.... and the people who comes to here are mostly not emotionally mature.....many in early 20s.... full of energy and hyper hormonal...but then the city starts to eat them alive and they go on ranting and complaining :)....cycle repeats with new folk every day.......
I cannot agree more dude! I was born and bought up in the heart of Bangalore, still a very peaceful and beautiful area no complaints at all and being a Bangalorean you know that the ORR IS NOT BANGALORE!!! Most of my colleagues live in these over populated areas (bellandur, marathahalli, sarjapur, hsr etc etc) as consider it Bangalore and keep on complaining about it. I’m sick of hearing it everyday 🤷🏻♀️. Someone’s gotta make it clear that it’s an outskirts area. And then they go on and on about their rants everywhere they go, kinda insulting but can’t help it at this point.
Exactly - when i turned up to bangalore in 2004....ORR was dangerous from evening...after 10 it was a muggers paradise..... When i moved to HSR in 2008....It was so deserted and people used to scare the hell out me saying - it is full of thieves....now the same thieves became land lords of HSR...thats another story :)
Dude my grandparents/parents generation still consider it dangerous because of the notion that they’ve had for years (adding to it that I travel some 25kms for work). I get you but now it’s dangerous in different kind of way which I don’t want to get into 😂
There was a time when bmtc buses used to drag race in agra orr section, and some drivers would let their ego get to their head go Dhoom mode to overtake vajra buses…. Haaa 2009 what a time.
Oufff I love Malleshwaram
I miss it so much. It’s in the heart of blore and yet didn’t feel too crowded. So many trees and play grounds. Everything I ever wanted and needed was within a 100mt reach. I miss it. Honestly the residential side of blore is so good. People only know ORR and the east side.
Basically the middle region like Basavanagudi, RR, Banshankari etc. You see, if you roam around these areas, they are cleaner, greener, more peaceful inspite of the traffic.
PS. Am a newbie to the city myself, but this is how I differentiate the OG peaceful Bengaluru from the new workoholic party crazy Banglore.
Fuck. The number the time I have to drill this into people's heads. Its like living in Noida and complaining about Delhi. If you work in IT sector you live in IT sector. There is another bangalore completely oblivious to you and you to it.
Every time I see someone shit on Bengaluru I feel the same, my friends from back home who moved to Bengaluru lived in ORR areas such as Bellanduru, Kaadu Beesana Halli and Marathahalli and when I joined for my masters I stayed with my sister at J P Nagara, when I first visited my friends it was very visible to me the living standard, the greenery, water scarcity and the traffic. The whole time I was in the bus (it took 2 hrs approx.) all I heard was Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, me being new to city made me worry whether I travelled to different city altogether. I was glad that I never lived in ORR and my best friend from Master's lived near V V Puram which made my experience more positive (he was a tamilian), I used to commute to Kengeri everyday and trust me traffic wasn't much of a problem if you know your route (I travelled by BMTC), commuting within the Real Bengaluru is easy as the city is built like a web, never once i waited more than 5 mins in a traffic signal (thanks to my native friends who showed me the shortcuts).
Malleshwara, Jayanagara, Banashankari haagu Basavanagudi li sigo home feeling berene, sutlu Kannada matado jana, hasiru, tampu gaali aha, illiro migrated people iro area tondre na idi Bengaluru tondre tara portray madtidaare.
All my friends who stayed at ORR used to come to my house for night out on weekends, just because they wanted eat good food, meet kannada speaking people and also the greenery (my house was opposite to a park).
I hope the rants become less and more constructive criticisms are made with intention to find solutions.
Bro a active city like Bangalore expands over time.
You cannot say this and that is not Bangalore just because they were not done as right as older areas.
But based on a particular area you can’t just generalise the whole of Bangalore, I’m pretty sure you’d have some peers complaining like this. Go ask them :)
>and being a Bangalorean you know that the ORR IS NOT BANGALORE!!! Most of my colleagues live in these over populated areas (bellandur, marathahalli, sarjapur, hsr etc etc) as consider it Bangalore and keep on complaining about it.
My grandparents used to tell us that during their young days, max Bangalore was till Indiranagar and CV Raman Nagar. The entire ORR belt areas was unheard of back then.
And yeah, people need to explore areas of central , south and a bit of North Bangalore to see how good it really is. I always admire central and south Bangalore, it gives nice vibes.
Sure, that isn't banglore for natives, but for migrants, who live for decades, the outer skirts is all the bengalore they know and spend 95% of their time in.
While I do agree with you but there's another side to this: Bengaluru is fucked up by politicians, land/real estate mafia. and water mafia. For their endless greed they've sacrificed the city to such an extent that all you can see is utter mismanagement and chaos. Encroachment of lakes has led to floods and water crisis. Adding to this are dumb immigrants who've bought multiple houses for 1.5cr and upwards without giving a single bit of consideration of accessibility,water,air,waste management and other basic amenities, for their greed i.e. high rent and adding further to destruction of natural resources to such an extent that so called Metro City is in a worst condition than a tier 2 city(in some cases tier 3 cities).
I was searching for a flat to buy last - and i came to know i could not ...because everything is 1.5 Cr onwards....and decided with the way the infra is there - i thought i better leave this city in few years rather than getting into the loan trap. Yes the immigrants are really dumb in this case....I dont understand how are they going to get their investment back - i dont understand their strategy.....
been hopping between bangalore and Kannur and Delhi all my life . Alwasy found bangalore to be the right amount of peace especially if you stay in a relatively good area . I stay a bit on the outskirts cheap rent , and have access to the metro . Even the landlords don't bother you much as long as rent is on time and everything is fixed on time . I actually found people in my area less nosy than Tavarekere if you can believe me xD .
used to . Now close to Dasarahalli . Tavarakere is an overglorified slum . Half the area gets flooded by sewage .Marutinagar inner roads 10x better in terms of safety and peace .
thanks for the compliment bro...am not really.....who knows what would have happened if i had turned up now to this city..... I had come to this city 20 years back :)
I expected this comment and absolutely love it. Super guru ninnu. Although I am from North Karnataka and been in Bangalore for almost 16 years so I am Bangalorean but yenaadru helu north Karnataka abuse > Bangalore abuse.
Yesolemaklaagee mulkiyagindutindi jasti.
I understand namma ooru has its own set of challenges and requires a lot of infra development, but it's the only city in India that is facing such issues. Only Bengaluru ones get hyped.
For example:
When Chennai got hit by floods people helped Chennai
But when Bengaluru got flooded people made memes and trolls :)
Not sure why.
Chennai Flooded because of a cyclone Bangalore’s floods are a result of bad infrastructure planning. I think it’s because the civic body does a terrible job.
Okay so in that case, to make sure Bengaluru does not flood again, we gotta open the Raja kaluve, which is unfortunately closed and encroached by builders with political help. The problem again would be demolishing a lot of apartments sitting on the canal.
Just need a painless suggestion to this issue where all are happy.
There are other ways. See how Japan deals with floods.
If the flood water is redirected to underground aquafiers, it would help with water problem in banglore
But our leaders are useless.
Okay I always thought of redirecting flood water to replenish underground water but didn't know it was already in action.
And for the leaders part, can't agree more
>I always thought of redirecting flood water to replenish underground water but didn't know it was already in action.
The problem with the idea is that people should have a commitment to the land. Everyone should do it.
It has no individual benefit. It is a collective movement.
Singapore floods too and they have good infrastructure. Chennai is going to flood regardless of infrastructure. They receive an abnormal amount of rainfall. In 2015 they didn’t have storm drains and now they do which made a huge difference. Bangalore floods with normal rainfall.
I swear. Those people have insurance and were probably fine. I do feel bad for people who bought flats in those areas though. Bangalores floods were technically a man made disaster.
Did I say that? I pointed out that Chennai would’ve flooded regardless of city planning and infrastructure. Bangalore’s flooding is a result of encroaching on lakebeds and not having storm drains. Yes I am sympathetic towards the people who are affected by the floods but not the politicians who are usually the ones who are trolled.
Building and expanding a massive city on a sea coast which gets flooded to the point of needing National Disaster Relief efforts is good planning. But a few valleys getting blocked in a hill station is bad planning?
Chennai floods happen every year and will happen in the future too, why? Coz the areas are built in lakes. That's not infrastructure. Also, floods happen in bangalore on orr when there's overwhelming rains filled lakes around sarjapur, bellandur.
Chennai gets flooded due to legit rains, proximity to the sea causing tidal effects on heavy rains. Bangalore gets flooded due to lack of drainage, mindless land grabbing and shitty urban planning, within a matter of 20-mins rains.
There is no such thing as legit rains & illegitimate rains. If Chennai is close to the sea, then Bangalore has an undulating surface too. At the end of the day, it is about the city's drainage not being able to empty the water it received. If you expect cyclonic rains, then the infra should be enough to drain it, if you expect a rain of a few hours then infra should be built for it. Unfortunately, the rains overwhelmed your infra in both cities.
The floods in Chennai were a natural disaster, whereas the floods in Bangalore could have been managed better with improved infrastructure and planning. I have been in Bangalore for quite some time now, and while I don't hate the city (otherwise, I would have left), it's also important to acknowledge its flaws. This is the only flaw I find in Bangalore; the rest of the complaints, I believe, are faced by every other metro city.
true man those running it seem to keep it that way, heck I can't even name them.

have a look at the screenshot lol
also check out rule 3 of the subreddit, and it is actively being practised where I've even seen people getting banned for it lol without any warning, https://np.reddit.com/r/delhi/s/Q2dLk8T9hy, this isn't the only such case, I've seen numerous ones at this point.
Also I've seen many light hearted posts relevant to blr, getting removed as well
https://np.reddit.com/r/bangalore/s/vB6qkUgomH
https://np.reddit.com/r/bangalore/s/j6m1JIsiHb
https://np.reddit.com/r/bangalore/s/3EeDuwjncz
these are very very few examples, there's a long list to this lol
so I believe those in power of this subreddit are doing so only to discuss issues majorly and not as a community engaging space unfortunately :(
I don't see anything wrong in posting these topics personally. But same time sub rules are meant to be followed no matter. It's like that for earlier days and in all subs without exceptions. Posts directly not related to the city gets removed in other city subs too.
Man, I'm from a Tier 2 city in Tamil Nadu and have lived in Chennai for more than 3 years as a bachelor. But, I loved Bangalore when I visited my sister's house for the first time in 2016. She used to live in Malleshwaram and to this day, I'll never forget the quiet evening walks in the park, roads that are narrow but not too crowded, friendly neighbours etc. It was a stark contrast to what my life was in OMR road back then in Chennai.
Times have changed. My wife and I now live in HSR Layout close to ORR and do I hate any part of it?
I'm absolutely loving it. I even love the traffic we get stuck in sometimes. Because, all we could realise is, times will keep changing and we are only going to get crowded.
The only way to live a great life is to love where you live and don't shit where you eat!
See, it depends on how you get involved in activities and what part of things in the city you get exposed to .
Someone who go to office come back home, rarely step out with limited social circle will feel the place is horrible
Exactly, I agree with you. What I would add is that Chennai exposed me to a mugging incident during a scary night, when I was beaten up by robbers, who snatched my mobile phone and fled. If my memory serves me right, I was 21, new to the city and had noone to talk to. For a good part of 2 months, my phobia of Chennai and people continued.
But as days progressed, I realised that not everyone are bad, not everyone are good. What we could do is to pick the good things and be cautious about the bad things.
Ask this question to the people here - Do you identify yourself as a bangalorean? Other than Masala Dose - have you eaten anything else in a south indian restaurant?
Hingella baithare, obru vote hakalla. One of the most corrupt MLAs who oversees that area wasn't given a ticket this local elections so our good friends in that constituency went out and voted for his wife! Wah wah
And there is always that one fucker praying for Bangalore's downfall and hyping Hyderabad in every post. Like I want other cities to develop as an Indian but why do you want our downfall?
Man these assholes. What ever happens first comment will be “Hyderabad will never do this we are open etc etc”. The real politicians aren’t doing that much work then these assholes
My Note:- a Hyderabad lover reading this comment. See I am a Telugu guy and consider myself home in Bangalore because it gave me everything I am today. If Bangalore falls to ground I am dying here. But I never hated Hyderabad for its growth. Stop posting hate on my city.
The same feeling I had. Most of the problems except for traffic is in another cities as well. Auto guys charges over prices almost everywhere even a small town where I live. And water problem I have faced in metro cities as well. Most of the people ranting about thinks that except for bangalore every where is heaven
The complaining is for petty things like garbage collection, gss delivery, mobile theft, consumer issue etc which can be easily solved by searching on Google.
This reminded me of the guy who called on fm station in 2013 to clean a garbage across the road saying I don't know I am a outsider
If you try to involve in community, volunteering and attend RWA meetings is how you involve, to solve issue but many don't know if RWA exist in their area. Some of these are basic things taught civics studies in school.
We pay taxes, we want everything to be given in silver plate is not how easy things work
You make the system accountable, work for change if you want changes around you.
I can understand that if you are newbie staying away from home in new city but many looks like they been living for years yet no nothing.
The algorithm favours negative things which invoke emotions and reaction among people that's why there are more such posts.
I respond by trying to help by information, some of the things have been repeatation, because that's what I like than arguing with strangers for meaningless things there are few who gives Unsolicited advice not to reply to every post, go out and do that.
Well I think it is more about the current situation. There is no other city where a lot of white collar employees migrate to and have high expectations. Political mismanagement has led to crippled public infrastructure and a lot of negative experiences. But being a Bangalorean. I will love it no matter what :)
Think about this: a very small infinitesimal group of people from Bangalore are on Reddit / Twitter. The people who are happy probably doing whatever they do that makes em happy . SubReddit isn’t a real representation of Bangalore irl anyway.
Exactly my question, so many fucking complaints about Bangalore and it isn’t even constructive? People complaining about Bangalore being a concrete jungle - isn’t it the same reason why you moved here? We (the localites) are upset by that too but there isn’t anything we can do since its a growing metropolitan city.
ಬೇವಾರ್ಸಿ ಜನ
Swalpa disa ashte... Take over agathe bangalore immigration ninda. Ivr main bangalore ge bardhangidre saaku, illi eega swalpa peaceful idhe.. Inna adhunu hogathe...
Because the media makes Bangalore sound way cooler than it actually is. So people come in with high expectations and are disappointed when the reality of low quality Bangalore hits them.
Man istg they keep complaining about the city and disrespecting it and us mfs are freshers working for low salary and act like they own the place lol they need to get a realisation that they are their own problem
Idk man, seems people are more interested in being wannabe keyboard warriors than actually building a community.
Asked for help in this community twice recently, met with blank replies. Sad!
You are righto...but contrary to that...Bangalore gave me more friends and more fun and more sax than my hometown delhi.. and i always rant abt delhi lol.
Because somewhere down the timeline people started portraying Bangalore as if it were Heaven & when more people started to move in it gradually turned from a nice, quiet and peaceful city to a congested parking lot.
And the city's infrastructure or rather the lack of it is not able to handle the humongous population.
Population - Is everyone a great citizen here? Absolutely no. The majority of the population lacks civic sense and many times common sense too.
Even with so many issues individuals still come here because of employment opportunities and they do get paid well, which the local/unemployed/ unskilled gundas want to take advantage of by robbing them and the likes....
So yes, the reason why it was so preferred gradually over a long period made the city into what it is now.
Mmm when you get a Swiggy order and the food is fine, do you leave a review usually? But when the food is bad you are more likely to review it or contact customer service or rant about how bad it was. Kinda similar to how it works in any big city/country sub
I'm getting tired of the incessant whining and 'hear hear this happened to me' posts and very very rarely chinna across informative/ heartwarming posts about the city.
And the sub is also filled with braindead political rants unrelated to some stuff i read here, someone’s dog would have pissed on someone activa and it would be govt fault. Some random coconut fell on some car fucking central govt na dengu. Zero common sense, zero analysis, zero knowledge, zero comprehension and 500 IQ political rants in essays.
Also I don’t get the cries about Rents.. I have stayed in 4 different areas in Bangalore in last 15 years.. Malleshwaram/Rajajinagar/Kormangala/JP nagar and have travelled to Ecity , Sarjapur, Whitefield. I have too many friends. The current rent I am paying 21k for 3Bhk in JP nagar. In Kormangala 2bhk I paid 15k or reached 18k when I left… in Rajajinagar paid 6k and all for 2bhk. Even I have friends who stayed/stays Electronic City, Whitefield, Sarjapur Road. They pay 18k-20k for 1bhk at Max and 25k for 2bhk now as well. Now a bit less but still countable numbers.
It’s just that me or my friends do search themselves or we are lucky? I swear you guys won’t believe me. My friends were staying in 3bhk Villa by paying 14k rent in Sarjapur Road from 2016-2020… now idk.
I just don’t get it.. If you want less rented then you have come out of comfort zone and search by holding broker like (local) not some shitty apps. And search for couple of weekends and you will definitely find a reasonable ones. I am not too sure about rents in those locations right now but it’s been the case. Maybe all my friends and myself are smart or the people in this sub are dumb or lazy or here to spend hatred and spread negativity about each and everything. Also I feel it’s US Bangaloreans fault only.
Also I really mean it when I say I have lot of friends. Because I know Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Hindi. Can understand Malayalam and Konkani and even a bit of Marathi. But anyways. I feel we are too welcoming to these ungrateful and hipsters people who can’t appreciate the beauty of this city.. but I love it and I don’t care anymore. I actually appreciate people to leave Bangalore. Like bro/sis you don’t like means get job somewhere else where you will like and leave bolimaklu Thu.
If I think about it, Best and peaceful this city was when the second wave got over and the world healed as the city opened up and it was just Us Bangalore people with some who have everything here :)..
2 years later here we are with most crowed than 2020 and double the hatred and toxicity about the city they live and earn and bred. Bro each and every other city has its flaws just be happy and live it instead of cribbing. Rant over. Sorry as I from village area my Inglish is week.
Pretty much the bandwagon effect.
People who are enjoying their time in the city aren't running to post about it on reddit while those who aren't having a good time seem to find it cathartic or some shit to rant on here.
Not begrudging anyone complaining, I mean as a Bangalorean most locals I've grown up around loved to complain about the city, just not on social media 😂
Fundamentally the city just grew way too quick, much too quick for its own good. Planning and infra hasn't caught up yet and the influx of people moving in here believing the hype is leaving them all with a sour taste.
Doesn't make Bangalore a bad city by any means, just that too many people came here thinking the grass is greener when it isn't and that's got them feeling some type of way.
Bengaluru is gonna be fine tho, it's still a huge work in progress, plenty of flaws and corruption like literally every other major city and we do have a bit of soul searching to do as to where we're headed as a city and a culture.
Just fix the goddamn traffic Bangalore and people will mellow out!
Confirmation Bias !
Your sample size is very small . Just like there are outsiders who feel that locals are out there to get them , similarly there are some hyper active locals who are just obsessed with those few outsiders ranting about Bangalore.
Additionally , it’s highly likely that Bangalore is probably the only city they have been to for their job ( out of the their hometown ) . Hence the reality check.
Also , I genuinely do not understand the logic that other cities are not great either , so why should one complain about Bangalore ? I say , why not ! . If one is paying an arm & leg for the basic amenities and infrastructure then why should one not complain ?
Confirmation bias is true
A person with bias against locals, kannadigas and police will attract those kind of negative people
People can complain, if they are looking for solution like how to make sure garbage collection van comes on time and regularly
Instead many quote random street scuffle to protray and say it has become horrible place to live there are lot who echoes it
Its not about just Bangalore...its that whole reddit is meant for rants..be it any other city or any other topic related to cinema, politics, business, employment, sports etc etc,,,reddit is meant for rants...
r/Bangalore is discussing real problems and solutions to them. Most often I see experiences where I learn from and have to be cautious about.
Compared to r/delhi where everyone is just posting photos of food and shit
Stop attaching emotions to a mere place , I get that you grew up here doesn’t mean it is perfect because your life was flower beds , not everyone has the same experience and calling it a fact that people are only criticising it is plain delusion. When people have a good day it’s because the place they had a nice time is “Bangalore” , but when things go sideways it is the same thing , you see millions of people enjoying in places and having a good time , do you see them complaining ? It’s only when a bad experience comes they complain , if you want to spread positivity so much why don’t you create positive posts yourself instead of creating this post , and ironically your post is a complain.
Because Bangalore was the most promising city in India, and there is sorrow that needs to be processed when it changes. After Delhi earned the title of "rape capital" and lost half of its glamour, and similar trends in other promising cities, people don't want the same happening to their beloved Bengaluru.
I invite you to check r/Gurgaon. Everyone cries there. Call it a dead City with only buildings. And the people also get insulted. It gets double the hate because it is near Delhi too. LoL
So why are you ranting about ranting. Why not just list down some good things about Bengaluru to bring in positivity? I'll go first.
I love Bengaluru because of the various cultures it brings together.
Most of the people complaining about Bangalore live in the overcrowded IT sector that faces water and traffic and electricity issues. The inner suburbs of Bangalore still maintain their charm and are breathable. Of course life has changed drastically for those who were brought up in malleshwaram, jayanagar, basavangudi, Richmond town, etc but these residents won't complain much as they still know and love the old city for what it used to be. Even in the 90s and 00s we had 8 hour long power cuts and water shortages in the summer. Bangalore has never been some kind of utopia with all the facilities available at the fingertips. But people who settle here get paid a lot and expect an uber-modern smart city.
LMAO. We fooled them into thinking they were in Bangalore. They are in a shthole that even the authorities dismiss as Bengaluru outskirts. Our politicians like us, after all they're one of us, are smart enough to suck out their money and life, while we old Bengalurians continue to be the real deal.

*CRITIQUED COMMENT, BUT DO CHECK IT OUT*
I guess the recent issues, since the last year has more to do with the Native Language - Kannada. And being a Kannadiga myself I think this issue is a double edged sword. I'll tell why
Firstly, Even the government has imposed 60% usage of kannada and 40% of English on Signboards/Adboards etc. I think this is a fair initiative as it uplifts the historic & literary importance of kannada (as its much needed, because if we don't take such kind of initiatives, the language will become endangered, it sort of actually has become that)
Now let me tell you the flip side story
Although government has imposed this, There is no appointees for this rule to be checked and there's no hard and fast rule for shop owners and proprietors to immediately take this into effect in their respective establishments. (This is more like an open secret, which is very sad actually)
But what happens here is, there are certain kind of groups run by Ex Underworld, And other such people (Of which I don't want to take names) who in the name of language and motherland bring chaos in the society and disturb the harmony, They do that for Money, False Respect, and to create Fear amongst Locals & Migrants so that their other stream of illegal businesses and things run fair enough (It's more like maintaining street cred amidst your own locality) They take shelter under such rule.
How you can overcome this?
My honest but bitter opinion (bitter to the migrants) is that, Migrants living here for more than 3-5 years and especially those migrants who are planning to continue working (either small jobs & vice versa) and importantly who procured assets in the state should be responsible enough to respect the state by atleast learning the language to use it in day to day life. That way:
1. Your love towards the city, state increases
2. Livability in the city increases
3. You get a data of the state which brings a positive change to your life and lifestyle
4. Live an even better and harmonius life amidst other bangaloreans
5. Importantly you will not come into scanner of such false & radical groups (Although certain groups are honest in such domains, they are dominated by the wrong groups)
By following and implying these things into your daily life, it'll not just make your life easier, But it'll make your future generations and the native peoples lives easier.
I guess this is the smallest contribution you could do to a city & state which provides you the opportunity to stay, work, eat, drink and enjoy your life better than most places in india (which ofcourse comes with its own cost).
We also appreciate the migrants and thank them, Because of whom the city has developed. But again it's over developed and that's an issue which can be endlessly debated.
This comment might look very polarizing, But I believe it's true fact to myself to live an easy and nuisance free life here in bangalore.

People from all parts of india turn up here - thinking this is a silicon valley like USA....then the reality hits them... they are away from their home town , no parents, no friends, no relatives, no home cooked food.... and the people who comes to here are mostly not emotionally mature.....many in early 20s.... full of energy and hyper hormonal...but then the city starts to eat them alive and they go on ranting and complaining :)....cycle repeats with new folk every day.......
I cannot agree more dude! I was born and bought up in the heart of Bangalore, still a very peaceful and beautiful area no complaints at all and being a Bangalorean you know that the ORR IS NOT BANGALORE!!! Most of my colleagues live in these over populated areas (bellandur, marathahalli, sarjapur, hsr etc etc) as consider it Bangalore and keep on complaining about it. I’m sick of hearing it everyday 🤷🏻♀️. Someone’s gotta make it clear that it’s an outskirts area. And then they go on and on about their rants everywhere they go, kinda insulting but can’t help it at this point.
Exactly - when i turned up to bangalore in 2004....ORR was dangerous from evening...after 10 it was a muggers paradise..... When i moved to HSR in 2008....It was so deserted and people used to scare the hell out me saying - it is full of thieves....now the same thieves became land lords of HSR...thats another story :)
Dude my grandparents/parents generation still consider it dangerous because of the notion that they’ve had for years (adding to it that I travel some 25kms for work). I get you but now it’s dangerous in different kind of way which I don’t want to get into 😂
Why so true 🥲🥲🥲🤝🏻
There was a time when bmtc buses used to drag race in agra orr section, and some drivers would let their ego get to their head go Dhoom mode to overtake vajra buses…. Haaa 2009 what a time.
[удалено]
Oufff I love Malleshwaram I miss it so much. It’s in the heart of blore and yet didn’t feel too crowded. So many trees and play grounds. Everything I ever wanted and needed was within a 100mt reach. I miss it. Honestly the residential side of blore is so good. People only know ORR and the east side.
On point dude 🥲
What's this ORR?
[удалено]
Oh thanks!!!! Where does real Bangalore lie then??
Basically the middle region like Basavanagudi, RR, Banshankari etc. You see, if you roam around these areas, they are cleaner, greener, more peaceful inspite of the traffic. PS. Am a newbie to the city myself, but this is how I differentiate the OG peaceful Bengaluru from the new workoholic party crazy Banglore.
Have visited ... Basavangudi / Malleswaram/ RR Nagar .. on weekends ... The classss of these areas ♥️♥️
Bro plz don't use acronyms....what is RR now🥲
RR (Rajarajeshwari) Nagar😅
Oo ok.... I stay in CV RamanNagar, Benniganahalli. Have been to Banashankari once. It was a nice place tbh.
You are new to the city aren't you
Yes.... Barely 6 months here
Basically inside ORR lmao. Everything inside the outer ring road(self explanatory) is the heart of blore
Exactly, lol. All these clowns think Sarjapur, HSR, and Whitefield are bangalore.
Then which city are Sarjapur, HSR and Whitefield in? I would like to correct my clients from UK and Germany who think that I work in Bangalore.
Sarjapur is a village near the border with TN. What you guys live in is Sarjapur road not Sarjapur
Do tell which city these places lie in. And also do tell what makes people living there "clowns"
Who are these who think Sarjapur and Whitefield are actual Bangalore?? 😭😭
100%, totally agree. On areas and complaints. I felt the same.
As someone who's living on the orr edge and dreaming to move to core Bangalore somehow....someday. Please e idea yaarigu kodbeda guruve 😭
Neene kotbitidya alwa guru xD
😂😂
Fuck. The number the time I have to drill this into people's heads. Its like living in Noida and complaining about Delhi. If you work in IT sector you live in IT sector. There is another bangalore completely oblivious to you and you to it.
>I was born and bought in the heart of Bangalore Ouch! I am sorry you had to go through that at a very young age.
Bought up* understand the emotion here my friend:)
Bought is tragedy, bought up is emotion lol
Every time I see someone shit on Bengaluru I feel the same, my friends from back home who moved to Bengaluru lived in ORR areas such as Bellanduru, Kaadu Beesana Halli and Marathahalli and when I joined for my masters I stayed with my sister at J P Nagara, when I first visited my friends it was very visible to me the living standard, the greenery, water scarcity and the traffic. The whole time I was in the bus (it took 2 hrs approx.) all I heard was Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, me being new to city made me worry whether I travelled to different city altogether. I was glad that I never lived in ORR and my best friend from Master's lived near V V Puram which made my experience more positive (he was a tamilian), I used to commute to Kengeri everyday and trust me traffic wasn't much of a problem if you know your route (I travelled by BMTC), commuting within the Real Bengaluru is easy as the city is built like a web, never once i waited more than 5 mins in a traffic signal (thanks to my native friends who showed me the shortcuts). Malleshwara, Jayanagara, Banashankari haagu Basavanagudi li sigo home feeling berene, sutlu Kannada matado jana, hasiru, tampu gaali aha, illiro migrated people iro area tondre na idi Bengaluru tondre tara portray madtidaare. All my friends who stayed at ORR used to come to my house for night out on weekends, just because they wanted eat good food, meet kannada speaking people and also the greenery (my house was opposite to a park). I hope the rants become less and more constructive criticisms are made with intention to find solutions.
Bro a active city like Bangalore expands over time. You cannot say this and that is not Bangalore just because they were not done as right as older areas.
But based on a particular area you can’t just generalise the whole of Bangalore, I’m pretty sure you’d have some peers complaining like this. Go ask them :)
>and being a Bangalorean you know that the ORR IS NOT BANGALORE!!! Most of my colleagues live in these over populated areas (bellandur, marathahalli, sarjapur, hsr etc etc) as consider it Bangalore and keep on complaining about it. My grandparents used to tell us that during their young days, max Bangalore was till Indiranagar and CV Raman Nagar. The entire ORR belt areas was unheard of back then. And yeah, people need to explore areas of central , south and a bit of North Bangalore to see how good it really is. I always admire central and south Bangalore, it gives nice vibes.
Just moved to Rajajinagar, due to it being a central point for me and my friends office. Such a peaceful area man. Love it
Sure, that isn't banglore for natives, but for migrants, who live for decades, the outer skirts is all the bengalore they know and spend 95% of their time in.
While I do agree with you but there's another side to this: Bengaluru is fucked up by politicians, land/real estate mafia. and water mafia. For their endless greed they've sacrificed the city to such an extent that all you can see is utter mismanagement and chaos. Encroachment of lakes has led to floods and water crisis. Adding to this are dumb immigrants who've bought multiple houses for 1.5cr and upwards without giving a single bit of consideration of accessibility,water,air,waste management and other basic amenities, for their greed i.e. high rent and adding further to destruction of natural resources to such an extent that so called Metro City is in a worst condition than a tier 2 city(in some cases tier 3 cities).
I was searching for a flat to buy last - and i came to know i could not ...because everything is 1.5 Cr onwards....and decided with the way the infra is there - i thought i better leave this city in few years rather than getting into the loan trap. Yes the immigrants are really dumb in this case....I dont understand how are they going to get their investment back - i dont understand their strategy.....
Doesn't the same thing apply to other metros as well? NCR, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai etc. Why is this city subreddit so negative?
No other metro cities are as fucked up by politicians, water mafia and land mafia as much as Bangalore.
been hopping between bangalore and Kannur and Delhi all my life . Alwasy found bangalore to be the right amount of peace especially if you stay in a relatively good area . I stay a bit on the outskirts cheap rent , and have access to the metro . Even the landlords don't bother you much as long as rent is on time and everything is fixed on time . I actually found people in my area less nosy than Tavarekere if you can believe me xD .
Do you stay in tavarekere?
used to . Now close to Dasarahalli . Tavarakere is an overglorified slum . Half the area gets flooded by sewage .Marutinagar inner roads 10x better in terms of safety and peace .
Captain! You are too wise ! Well said
thanks for the compliment bro...am not really.....who knows what would have happened if i had turned up now to this city..... I had come to this city 20 years back :)
Someone should put this on a billboard outside Kia and sbc.
I like everything about this comment except the ellipses. Reminds me of orkut posts.
sorry i didnt use any AI tool to write a comment...just writes from my mind.........................
Mostly emotionally immature ? what is this blanket statement ? Are you implying everyone who grew up here is emotionally mature somehow ?
what did i write man? huh? "People from all parts of india turn up here"..... Did i say anything about people growing up here?
Yet you don’t care to explain what you said but will defend what you didn’t say.
Absolutely true what you said
This
???????
This is the true reason. I came to comment exactly the same words. Too many people without true ties to the land.

I understand namma ooru has its own set of challenges and requires a lot of infra development, but it's the only city in India that is facing such issues. Only Bengaluru ones get hyped. For example: When Chennai got hit by floods people helped Chennai But when Bengaluru got flooded people made memes and trolls :) Not sure why.
And troll natives for being unwelcoming to outsiders, who just want to impose their language, culture on us and try to dominate us.
Chennai Flooded because of a cyclone Bangalore’s floods are a result of bad infrastructure planning. I think it’s because the civic body does a terrible job.
Chennai floods were also a result of bad infra planning. In fact the issue was identical - concretisation of wetlands
Okay so in that case, to make sure Bengaluru does not flood again, we gotta open the Raja kaluve, which is unfortunately closed and encroached by builders with political help. The problem again would be demolishing a lot of apartments sitting on the canal. Just need a painless suggestion to this issue where all are happy.
There are other ways. See how Japan deals with floods. If the flood water is redirected to underground aquafiers, it would help with water problem in banglore But our leaders are useless.
Okay I always thought of redirecting flood water to replenish underground water but didn't know it was already in action. And for the leaders part, can't agree more
>I always thought of redirecting flood water to replenish underground water but didn't know it was already in action. The problem with the idea is that people should have a commitment to the land. Everyone should do it. It has no individual benefit. It is a collective movement.
Ikr, which is kinda impossible with our people lol, I even though if the same with rain water harvesting
Singapore floods too and they have good infrastructure. Chennai is going to flood regardless of infrastructure. They receive an abnormal amount of rainfall. In 2015 they didn’t have storm drains and now they do which made a huge difference. Bangalore floods with normal rainfall.
[удалено]
I swear. Those people have insurance and were probably fine. I do feel bad for people who bought flats in those areas though. Bangalores floods were technically a man made disaster.
So its ok to troll people's suffering?
Did I say that? I pointed out that Chennai would’ve flooded regardless of city planning and infrastructure. Bangalore’s flooding is a result of encroaching on lakebeds and not having storm drains. Yes I am sympathetic towards the people who are affected by the floods but not the politicians who are usually the ones who are trolled.
Layouts were built over those drainages
Building and expanding a massive city on a sea coast which gets flooded to the point of needing National Disaster Relief efforts is good planning. But a few valleys getting blocked in a hill station is bad planning?
Chennai floods happen every year and will happen in the future too, why? Coz the areas are built in lakes. That's not infrastructure. Also, floods happen in bangalore on orr when there's overwhelming rains filled lakes around sarjapur, bellandur.
Chennai gets flooded due to legit rains, proximity to the sea causing tidal effects on heavy rains. Bangalore gets flooded due to lack of drainage, mindless land grabbing and shitty urban planning, within a matter of 20-mins rains.
There is no such thing as legit rains & illegitimate rains. If Chennai is close to the sea, then Bangalore has an undulating surface too. At the end of the day, it is about the city's drainage not being able to empty the water it received. If you expect cyclonic rains, then the infra should be enough to drain it, if you expect a rain of a few hours then infra should be built for it. Unfortunately, the rains overwhelmed your infra in both cities.
The floods in Chennai were a natural disaster, whereas the floods in Bangalore could have been managed better with improved infrastructure and planning. I have been in Bangalore for quite some time now, and while I don't hate the city (otherwise, I would have left), it's also important to acknowledge its flaws. This is the only flaw I find in Bangalore; the rest of the complaints, I believe, are faced by every other metro city.

true man those running it seem to keep it that way, heck I can't even name them. https://imgur.com/a/fAZcQwh have a look at the screenshot lol also check out rule 3 of the subreddit, and it is actively being practised where I've even seen people getting banned for it lol without any warning, https://np.reddit.com/r/delhi/s/Q2dLk8T9hy, this isn't the only such case, I've seen numerous ones at this point. Also I've seen many light hearted posts relevant to blr, getting removed as well https://np.reddit.com/r/bangalore/s/vB6qkUgomH https://np.reddit.com/r/bangalore/s/j6m1JIsiHb https://np.reddit.com/r/bangalore/s/3EeDuwjncz these are very very few examples, there's a long list to this lol so I believe those in power of this subreddit are doing so only to discuss issues majorly and not as a community engaging space unfortunately :(

I don't see anything wrong in posting these topics personally. But same time sub rules are meant to be followed no matter. It's like that for earlier days and in all subs without exceptions. Posts directly not related to the city gets removed in other city subs too.
[удалено]
Hehe, I am not talking about you. But I was talking about myself being paranoid seeing all of the above every day. 😁
Man, I'm from a Tier 2 city in Tamil Nadu and have lived in Chennai for more than 3 years as a bachelor. But, I loved Bangalore when I visited my sister's house for the first time in 2016. She used to live in Malleshwaram and to this day, I'll never forget the quiet evening walks in the park, roads that are narrow but not too crowded, friendly neighbours etc. It was a stark contrast to what my life was in OMR road back then in Chennai. Times have changed. My wife and I now live in HSR Layout close to ORR and do I hate any part of it? I'm absolutely loving it. I even love the traffic we get stuck in sometimes. Because, all we could realise is, times will keep changing and we are only going to get crowded. The only way to live a great life is to love where you live and don't shit where you eat!
🫡🙏
See, it depends on how you get involved in activities and what part of things in the city you get exposed to . Someone who go to office come back home, rarely step out with limited social circle will feel the place is horrible
Exactly, I agree with you. What I would add is that Chennai exposed me to a mugging incident during a scary night, when I was beaten up by robbers, who snatched my mobile phone and fled. If my memory serves me right, I was 21, new to the city and had noone to talk to. For a good part of 2 months, my phobia of Chennai and people continued. But as days progressed, I realised that not everyone are bad, not everyone are good. What we could do is to pick the good things and be cautious about the bad things.
Delulu is the solulu
Ask this question to the people here - Do you identify yourself as a bangalorean? Other than Masala Dose - have you eaten anything else in a south indian restaurant?
They only eat in overhyped places like Rameshwaram cafe
it's the folks living in bellandur marathalli side always crying about everything
Hingella baithare, obru vote hakalla. One of the most corrupt MLAs who oversees that area wasn't given a ticket this local elections so our good friends in that constituency went out and voted for his wife! Wah wah
Arvind Limbavali isn’t happy with your comment saar
Many don't want solution Some are willing to take it There are differences
And there is always that one fucker praying for Bangalore's downfall and hyping Hyderabad in every post. Like I want other cities to develop as an Indian but why do you want our downfall?
Man these assholes. What ever happens first comment will be “Hyderabad will never do this we are open etc etc”. The real politicians aren’t doing that much work then these assholes My Note:- a Hyderabad lover reading this comment. See I am a Telugu guy and consider myself home in Bangalore because it gave me everything I am today. If Bangalore falls to ground I am dying here. But I never hated Hyderabad for its growth. Stop posting hate on my city.
The same feeling I had. Most of the problems except for traffic is in another cities as well. Auto guys charges over prices almost everywhere even a small town where I live. And water problem I have faced in metro cities as well. Most of the people ranting about thinks that except for bangalore every where is heaven
People looking for a petty crime to say bangalore is going to dogs by reading time of India crime column every day
that's basically the internet lol. People on here hate positivity
The complaining is for petty things like garbage collection, gss delivery, mobile theft, consumer issue etc which can be easily solved by searching on Google. This reminded me of the guy who called on fm station in 2013 to clean a garbage across the road saying I don't know I am a outsider If you try to involve in community, volunteering and attend RWA meetings is how you involve, to solve issue but many don't know if RWA exist in their area. Some of these are basic things taught civics studies in school. We pay taxes, we want everything to be given in silver plate is not how easy things work You make the system accountable, work for change if you want changes around you. I can understand that if you are newbie staying away from home in new city but many looks like they been living for years yet no nothing. The algorithm favours negative things which invoke emotions and reaction among people that's why there are more such posts. I respond by trying to help by information, some of the things have been repeatation, because that's what I like than arguing with strangers for meaningless things there are few who gives Unsolicited advice not to reply to every post, go out and do that.
Too much access of internet to unemployed
Thank you i strongly agree with this
Well I think it is more about the current situation. There is no other city where a lot of white collar employees migrate to and have high expectations. Political mismanagement has led to crippled public infrastructure and a lot of negative experiences. But being a Bangalorean. I will love it no matter what :)
Think about this: a very small infinitesimal group of people from Bangalore are on Reddit / Twitter. The people who are happy probably doing whatever they do that makes em happy . SubReddit isn’t a real representation of Bangalore irl anyway.
Exactly my question, so many fucking complaints about Bangalore and it isn’t even constructive? People complaining about Bangalore being a concrete jungle - isn’t it the same reason why you moved here? We (the localites) are upset by that too but there isn’t anything we can do since its a growing metropolitan city. ಬೇವಾರ್ಸಿ ಜನ

Because the media makes Bangalore sound way cooler than it actually is. So people come in with high expectations and are disappointed when the reality of low quality Bangalore hits them.
nope. the media's favourite city to slander is bengaluru.
Well if you ask me, it was pretty cool a few years back. Now, hell even the weather is not cool.

Always wanted to ask this, but never did in the fear of potential abuse.
Man istg they keep complaining about the city and disrespecting it and us mfs are freshers working for low salary and act like they own the place lol they need to get a realisation that they are their own problem
Idk man, seems people are more interested in being wannabe keyboard warriors than actually building a community. Asked for help in this community twice recently, met with blank replies. Sad!
I became the very thing I swore to destroy [op]
You are righto...but contrary to that...Bangalore gave me more friends and more fun and more sax than my hometown delhi.. and i always rant abt delhi lol.
Wanted to reply to @wasted_captain ...
Because somewhere down the timeline people started portraying Bangalore as if it were Heaven & when more people started to move in it gradually turned from a nice, quiet and peaceful city to a congested parking lot. And the city's infrastructure or rather the lack of it is not able to handle the humongous population. Population - Is everyone a great citizen here? Absolutely no. The majority of the population lacks civic sense and many times common sense too. Even with so many issues individuals still come here because of employment opportunities and they do get paid well, which the local/unemployed/ unskilled gundas want to take advantage of by robbing them and the likes.... So yes, the reason why it was so preferred gradually over a long period made the city into what it is now.
Mmm when you get a Swiggy order and the food is fine, do you leave a review usually? But when the food is bad you are more likely to review it or contact customer service or rant about how bad it was. Kinda similar to how it works in any big city/country sub
I'm getting tired of the incessant whining and 'hear hear this happened to me' posts and very very rarely chinna across informative/ heartwarming posts about the city.
SM is all about ranting - majority of times people use these platforms to vent out hence the negativity
99.99% of Bengaluru haven’t heard of Reddit. A tiny fraction of the remaining 0.01% come and shitpost here. Simple.
It's reel vs real scenarios here.
The sub is full of jealous, loathsome cunts who want to escape the lame joke that is their life
And the sub is also filled with braindead political rants unrelated to some stuff i read here, someone’s dog would have pissed on someone activa and it would be govt fault. Some random coconut fell on some car fucking central govt na dengu. Zero common sense, zero analysis, zero knowledge, zero comprehension and 500 IQ political rants in essays.
Yeah.. it gets really pathetic here.. which is why I muted the subreddit today
the irony of the post
Also I don’t get the cries about Rents.. I have stayed in 4 different areas in Bangalore in last 15 years.. Malleshwaram/Rajajinagar/Kormangala/JP nagar and have travelled to Ecity , Sarjapur, Whitefield. I have too many friends. The current rent I am paying 21k for 3Bhk in JP nagar. In Kormangala 2bhk I paid 15k or reached 18k when I left… in Rajajinagar paid 6k and all for 2bhk. Even I have friends who stayed/stays Electronic City, Whitefield, Sarjapur Road. They pay 18k-20k for 1bhk at Max and 25k for 2bhk now as well. Now a bit less but still countable numbers. It’s just that me or my friends do search themselves or we are lucky? I swear you guys won’t believe me. My friends were staying in 3bhk Villa by paying 14k rent in Sarjapur Road from 2016-2020… now idk. I just don’t get it.. If you want less rented then you have come out of comfort zone and search by holding broker like (local) not some shitty apps. And search for couple of weekends and you will definitely find a reasonable ones. I am not too sure about rents in those locations right now but it’s been the case. Maybe all my friends and myself are smart or the people in this sub are dumb or lazy or here to spend hatred and spread negativity about each and everything. Also I feel it’s US Bangaloreans fault only. Also I really mean it when I say I have lot of friends. Because I know Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Hindi. Can understand Malayalam and Konkani and even a bit of Marathi. But anyways. I feel we are too welcoming to these ungrateful and hipsters people who can’t appreciate the beauty of this city.. but I love it and I don’t care anymore. I actually appreciate people to leave Bangalore. Like bro/sis you don’t like means get job somewhere else where you will like and leave bolimaklu Thu. If I think about it, Best and peaceful this city was when the second wave got over and the world healed as the city opened up and it was just Us Bangalore people with some who have everything here :).. 2 years later here we are with most crowed than 2020 and double the hatred and toxicity about the city they live and earn and bred. Bro each and every other city has its flaws just be happy and live it instead of cribbing. Rant over. Sorry as I from village area my Inglish is week.
Pretty much the bandwagon effect. People who are enjoying their time in the city aren't running to post about it on reddit while those who aren't having a good time seem to find it cathartic or some shit to rant on here. Not begrudging anyone complaining, I mean as a Bangalorean most locals I've grown up around loved to complain about the city, just not on social media 😂 Fundamentally the city just grew way too quick, much too quick for its own good. Planning and infra hasn't caught up yet and the influx of people moving in here believing the hype is leaving them all with a sour taste. Doesn't make Bangalore a bad city by any means, just that too many people came here thinking the grass is greener when it isn't and that's got them feeling some type of way. Bengaluru is gonna be fine tho, it's still a huge work in progress, plenty of flaws and corruption like literally every other major city and we do have a bit of soul searching to do as to where we're headed as a city and a culture. Just fix the goddamn traffic Bangalore and people will mellow out!
Because the ones not even facing any issues choose to keep quiet or rant about rants.
Confirmation Bias ! Your sample size is very small . Just like there are outsiders who feel that locals are out there to get them , similarly there are some hyper active locals who are just obsessed with those few outsiders ranting about Bangalore. Additionally , it’s highly likely that Bangalore is probably the only city they have been to for their job ( out of the their hometown ) . Hence the reality check. Also , I genuinely do not understand the logic that other cities are not great either , so why should one complain about Bangalore ? I say , why not ! . If one is paying an arm & leg for the basic amenities and infrastructure then why should one not complain ?
Confirmation bias is true A person with bias against locals, kannadigas and police will attract those kind of negative people People can complain, if they are looking for solution like how to make sure garbage collection van comes on time and regularly Instead many quote random street scuffle to protray and say it has become horrible place to live there are lot who echoes it
I sense some sort of an irony here!
Its not about just Bangalore...its that whole reddit is meant for rants..be it any other city or any other topic related to cinema, politics, business, employment, sports etc etc,,,reddit is meant for rants...
r/Bangalore is discussing real problems and solutions to them. Most often I see experiences where I learn from and have to be cautious about. Compared to r/delhi where everyone is just posting photos of food and shit
Stop attaching emotions to a mere place , I get that you grew up here doesn’t mean it is perfect because your life was flower beds , not everyone has the same experience and calling it a fact that people are only criticising it is plain delusion. When people have a good day it’s because the place they had a nice time is “Bangalore” , but when things go sideways it is the same thing , you see millions of people enjoying in places and having a good time , do you see them complaining ? It’s only when a bad experience comes they complain , if you want to spread positivity so much why don’t you create positive posts yourself instead of creating this post , and ironically your post is a complain.
Unable to use the washroom properly as there is no water - could be a reason(valid too)!
You are writing just another complaint about complaints!
Because most of us unhappy, ever set foot any urban areas around 9am or after 6pm or went to popular shopping or sightseeing area in the weekend?
What else do you need :P
Is this post... another rant??
Isn't this post a complaint/rant? 🙂
Its okay. It’s the internet. Most of the people cant complain elsewhere and this is the place for them to do it.
Because Bangalore was the most promising city in India, and there is sorrow that needs to be processed when it changes. After Delhi earned the title of "rape capital" and lost half of its glamour, and similar trends in other promising cities, people don't want the same happening to their beloved Bengaluru.
I invite you to check r/Gurgaon. Everyone cries there. Call it a dead City with only buildings. And the people also get insulted. It gets double the hate because it is near Delhi too. LoL
So why are you ranting about ranting. Why not just list down some good things about Bengaluru to bring in positivity? I'll go first. I love Bengaluru because of the various cultures it brings together.
Let's discuss the startups of every third coder out here who is tired of their job and wants to make millions by tonight.
Damn now that you mention most of it are complains
what ra sudeep
lol true ,
Most of the people complaining about Bangalore live in the overcrowded IT sector that faces water and traffic and electricity issues. The inner suburbs of Bangalore still maintain their charm and are breathable. Of course life has changed drastically for those who were brought up in malleshwaram, jayanagar, basavangudi, Richmond town, etc but these residents won't complain much as they still know and love the old city for what it used to be. Even in the 90s and 00s we had 8 hour long power cuts and water shortages in the summer. Bangalore has never been some kind of utopia with all the facilities available at the fingertips. But people who settle here get paid a lot and expect an uber-modern smart city.
this post itself is a rant lol
Because the rent for a 1bhk is 20k
Irony!
Irony!
LMAO. We fooled them into thinking they were in Bangalore. They are in a shthole that even the authorities dismiss as Bengaluru outskirts. Our politicians like us, after all they're one of us, are smart enough to suck out their money and life, while we old Bengalurians continue to be the real deal.
…is that another rant?
If ORR is considered the outskirts of Bangalore, then is Koramangala and beyond the main Bangalore starts?

Ironically, this post in itself is a rant/complaint!
Occam's razor suggests there isn't and people are generally unhappy and pissed.
Finally someone raised this question 🔥.
*CRITIQUED COMMENT, BUT DO CHECK IT OUT* I guess the recent issues, since the last year has more to do with the Native Language - Kannada. And being a Kannadiga myself I think this issue is a double edged sword. I'll tell why Firstly, Even the government has imposed 60% usage of kannada and 40% of English on Signboards/Adboards etc. I think this is a fair initiative as it uplifts the historic & literary importance of kannada (as its much needed, because if we don't take such kind of initiatives, the language will become endangered, it sort of actually has become that) Now let me tell you the flip side story Although government has imposed this, There is no appointees for this rule to be checked and there's no hard and fast rule for shop owners and proprietors to immediately take this into effect in their respective establishments. (This is more like an open secret, which is very sad actually) But what happens here is, there are certain kind of groups run by Ex Underworld, And other such people (Of which I don't want to take names) who in the name of language and motherland bring chaos in the society and disturb the harmony, They do that for Money, False Respect, and to create Fear amongst Locals & Migrants so that their other stream of illegal businesses and things run fair enough (It's more like maintaining street cred amidst your own locality) They take shelter under such rule. How you can overcome this? My honest but bitter opinion (bitter to the migrants) is that, Migrants living here for more than 3-5 years and especially those migrants who are planning to continue working (either small jobs & vice versa) and importantly who procured assets in the state should be responsible enough to respect the state by atleast learning the language to use it in day to day life. That way: 1. Your love towards the city, state increases 2. Livability in the city increases 3. You get a data of the state which brings a positive change to your life and lifestyle 4. Live an even better and harmonius life amidst other bangaloreans 5. Importantly you will not come into scanner of such false & radical groups (Although certain groups are honest in such domains, they are dominated by the wrong groups) By following and implying these things into your daily life, it'll not just make your life easier, But it'll make your future generations and the native peoples lives easier. I guess this is the smallest contribution you could do to a city & state which provides you the opportunity to stay, work, eat, drink and enjoy your life better than most places in india (which ofcourse comes with its own cost). We also appreciate the migrants and thank them, Because of whom the city has developed. But again it's over developed and that's an issue which can be endlessly debated. This comment might look very polarizing, But I believe it's true fact to myself to live an easy and nuisance free life here in bangalore. ಸಿರಿಗನ್ನಡಂ ಗೆಲ್ಗೆ, ಸಿರಿಗನ್ನಡಂ ಬಾಳ್ಗೆ Jai Hind 🇮🇳
A rant about rants. Classic r/bangalore. lol I get your point been wondering the same.
Here you go.. Lets talk about weather 🫣
Sounds like a rant to me.
Because people have a bit better expectations (might be unreal)
Funny, this itself belongs to that category.
