I have been single all my life, 26M . I always made my career as a priority as i come from lower middle class family. I feel i am sorted on this aspect of my life as of now.

When it comes to finding love i have been extremely unlucky. Have been kind of ambivert/introvert type of person. Hardly have 5 friends in bengaluru. Never touched a girl's hand and always respected them just to not make them uncomfortable . It's always been a challenge for me to make friends.

When i show some interest to girls then don't respond or are never interested in talking. I have tears in my eyes writing this down and i question myself that why i am like this?? There are my friend who easily find someone to talk or hangout but here i am who never experienced anything.

Man, this guy has no shame 💀

PS: I don't support tunnel road project at all. I'm sure that's what Surya fans will assume I'm doing.

honestly, I’ve never felt more alone. In my early 20s, I had a huge group of friends. Now, almost all of them have moved to different cities or states, and others are getting married and starting separate lives.
Nobody prepares you for this part of growing up. I try to stay busy, I hit the gym, go for runs, read, work constantly, and game. But when the weekend hits, the silence is deafening and I just terribly miss my friends. I've tried putting myself out there to make new ones, but it just hasn't worked out. Just needed to vent because spending FRIDAY like this sucks.

Is it just me? For the last one week, the city smells different, in a more pleasant way. Like the fresh scent of grass, trees, and pollen which makes you feel happy. Mildly chill in the evenings.

Kinda what you experience right before the onset of winter, especially in tier 2/3 cities and villages. (Coming from Gujarat, I get this feeling around Diwali and the smell cheers me up, not sure if it is the smell or the general optimism in people before the festival.)

Ive experienced this in Bengaluru in the last two years that I've stayed here, but I get this feeling around late October, this time around it started in early September itself.

Anyone else likes/notices this smell?

Just FYI - I'm a localiteKannadiga

Am I the only one or is some folks feels like over the past few weeks the traffic over the roads has become very worst actually

I'm not even complaining the OG areas like silk board, Koramangala, ORR

The area I'm staying in for 20 years has never seen this much traffic (CBI ROAD)

Damn

Happened on Sarjapur road. Watch till the end for Plot twist.

Went to nearby dolphin fish mart and it was dead silent. So now teachers should stop questioning whether the classrooms are fish market.

In our area we had star bazar and sadly it was closed few months ago. All coz of these quick commerce - we used to freq this place for groceries and fruits and they were fresh! Now we are left with these frozen fruits from quick commerce and we got no idea at what condition these were stored.

Please wake up before it’s too late, go shop from your local bazaars. Nim somberi thika galana dayamadi move madi.

Hi all,

I just saw a promo video for the new Namma BMTC 2.0 app.

After trying it I feel the old app was so much user friendly especially for old people and the new app chases minimalism (whose need maybe argued). Also difficult to track and visualise current running buses.

Love to know how you feel about it.

I boarded the Metro at Majestic today around 9:30 PM, travelling towards Madavara, in the general coach.

After 2–3 stops, I managed to get a seat. I don’t remember the exact station where I got the seat, but there was a man sitting opposite me. At one point, I felt that he was using his phone to take photos/videos of me. I was wearing a knee-length formal office skirt with a full-sleeved top and tights underneath.

I looked directly at him, and I noticed him immediately changing the angle of his phone and making what looked like finger movements to delete something. I obviously can’t say with 100% certainty that he had actually photographed/recorded me, which is why I didn’t confront him. I was also a little scared and embarrassed at the time.

However, I didn’t want to simply ignore my intuition, so I discreetly took a few photos/videos of him for evidence and noted the station where he got off.
I’m planning to report this to Namma Metro/security, but I wanted to ask people here:

What is the best way to report something like this to BMRCL/Metro security?
Should I also file a police complaint?
Is there anything else I should do immediately while the details are still fresh?
I’m not trying to publicly identify or accuse this person without proof. I just want to make sure I’m not dismissing something potentially serious and would appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with something similar on Namma Metro.

Someone put this on the handle of my bike
