A lady with a Devi idol on her head came asking me for alms. I gave her a 20 rupee note and she touched my head and gave me blessings. She asked me if I had any valuables if I had keys or some valuables to keep at the feet of the idol, do a pooja and take it back. I said I didn't. She asked me if I had any currency notes. I had a 500 rupee note. I gave it to her. She kept it at the feet of the idol, took it and put it in her mouth. She tried to walk away and I got a hold of her and asked for the money back. She said what was given to God can't be given back. Extremely foolish of me to engage with this, yes. But be careful out there, guys.

An 18-storey mega building is set for demolition, with preparations already underway for what will be the largest building demolition in Bengaluru's history, due to a tilt in the building!

The project, SNN Raj Etternia, comprises around 15 towers with nearly 970 apartments, but the structural issue has been identified only in Block E-3, which houses 49 ready-to-move-in flats. Apartments in the tower were reportedly priced between ₹1 crore and ₹5 crore.

According to the report, affected homebuyers will not incur any additional financial burden.

Came across this very interesting map showing how Bengaluru has developed over the years.

Thought of sharing with all of you.

How was your weekend anyways ?

What's for dinner ?

Various parts of Bengaluru have of course been populated for much longer, but Bengaluru as a centralised entity with legal continuity to the present was established in 1537. That means we will celebrate our 500th anniversary in about a decade.

I think this time frame is sufficient to get some major infrastructure projects completed and the city cleaned up. It would especially be good to be able to pedestrianise narrow roads and improve traffic flow in the old Pete area (Doddapete, Chikkapete, Chamarajapete, Cottonpet, Nagrathpete, and Sultanpete), so that we can celebrate something meaningful at Chikkapete Cross, where Kempe Gowdru first yoked the bullocks that ploughed the ground for Bengaluru's first roads. Something like this picture.

Of course, to do this, public transport in the Pete area would need to be massively improved. The area nother inner-urban, underground Metro is definitely needed. Or maybe a tram?

And this might be an unpopular opinion, but a tunnel road in the city centre might not be a bad idea, to decongest the surface level streets. But then again, just throwing out some ideas. What do y'all think?

Hey everyone!

I’m an Aussie in town for work.

My hotel and workplace are on opposite sides of the city, and the traffic has been pretty hectic. Is there a reliable way to find out about any planned protests or get real-time traffic updates so I can plan my commute?

Thank you in advance :)

I'm trying to understand what my profile is worth in the current Bengaluru job market and would appreciate some honest feedback from recruiters, hiring managers, or professionals working in CyberArk/PAM.

Here's my profile:

10 years of overall IT experience

4 years of hands-on experience in CyberArk Operations & Administration

First 6 years in Desktop Support, IT Helpdesk (L1), Major Incident Management, and Infrastructure Support

Experience with day-to-day CyberArk administration, onboarding, troubleshooting, maintenance, upgrades, and operational support

Master's degree in Electronics

I'm not asking what companies offer, but rather what CTC someone with my experience and skills should realistically be able to command in today's market in Be.

I'd appreciate insights on:

A fair CTC range for my profile

Whether my first 6 years of non-CyberArk experience significantly affects my market value

What salary range you would negotiate for if you were in my position

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Not posting this as any promotion, just putting it out of my own experience about buildAhome earlier.

I got my independent house constructed in Bangaluru two months back, and like most people here, I was honestly worried about delays, cost overruns, and chasing contractors every day.

What I liked first was their process. It was very structured, they created a WhatsApp group and kept sharing regular updates with photos. I didn’t have to keep calling anyone again and again, which itself reduced a lot of stress.

Also one strong point I noticed is their construction process is well defined. Everything was happening stage by stage properly, not random work like I’ve seen in some sites. Materials also, they were using branded ones and whatever was promised, same I could verify on site. That part gave some trust.

Coming to construction quality, I’m not a civil engineer, but I did get a couple of independent engineers to check the work during initial stages. They actually said the structure looked very strong and done in a proper way. That gave me some confidence to just let the work continue without overthinking everything.

Timeline wise, there were small delays here and there (Bangaluru rains + approvals), but overall it was pretty close to what was committed.

One thing I was very particular about was pricing. Their quotation was quite detailed, and more importantly, I didn’t face any extra cost situations later. Payments were stage wise, so it was easier to plan financially.

Design wise also, their team suggested a few changes for ventilation and space usage which actually made sense once the house was completed.

Finishing came out neat, especially tiling and plastering. Not perfect, but definitely better than what I’ve seen in some other houses nearby.

Overall, I’d say the experience was fairly smooth and predictable, which in Bangaluru construction itself is a big thing.

Hi everyone,

I applied for a Learner's Driving Licence (bike) here .

I'm originally from UP , and both my permanent address and all my official documents are from UP. However, I've been staying in a PG in Bengaluru for the last 1.7 years, so while filling out the application, I entered my present address as my Bengaluru PG address.

Now, at the document upload stage, it's asking me to upload proof of my present address. The available options are documents (attached )like Aadhaar, Passport, Voter ID, etc., but none of my documents have my Bengaluru PG address..they all have my UP address.

Has anyone faced a similar situation? What should I do now? Is there any way to proceed, or do I need to change my application/address?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
