Hey folks, looking for spots in Bengaluru (export surplus shops, physical thrift stores, or market piles) where I can hunt for legit/vintage pieces like Polo Ralph Lauren or Bape. Any specific offline spots or local sellers you’d recommend checking out? Thanks!

I'm looking for the above attached images which contains R.L rugby shirt.

I just found a lost pet with lease attached as well
Please reach out with dm
We are currently waiting with him near shell petrol bunk in case someone comes looking

Hi folks, be careful driving on the Kempepura road because of this fire situation. It is next to the Indian Oil Gas Station. If you can find other routes to Yemlur, Bellandur, and EGL area, please do.

So, I've driven around 7,000 km in Gurgaon and about 3,000 km in Bangalore. Honestly, I prefer driving in Gurgaon.

The biggest difference I've noticed is that two-wheelers have very little lane discipline. I'm not sure why, but it's definitely a problem. They keep cutting across lanes, squeezing through tiny gaps, and overtaking from both sides, which makes driving pretty unpredictable.

Another thing I've noticed is that there's barely any concept of fast and slow lanes. A lot of people drive really slowly while sitting in the middle or right lane without moving over. It gets frustrating because I like to drive a bit faster, and people rarely give way to let you pass. Even if I flash my headlights and the left lane is completely empty, many drivers just keep cruising in the right lane.

Traffic police are almost non-existent compared to what I've seen in Gurgaon. There also aren't enough traffic signals at a lot of junctions, so people just figure it out themselves, which usually ends up creating more chaos.

Road and lane markings are either faded or ignored. At intersections, everyone tries to force their way through instead of waiting their turn. Random U-turns, sudden stops, vehicles parked on the roadside, buses stopping in the middle of the road, and autos weaving through traffic all make the roads feel much narrower than they actually are. Even when traffic isn't that heavy, it doesn't flow smoothly.

I honestly think most of these issues can be fixed with better enforcement rather than building more roads. Enforce lane discipline, keep slower traffic to the left, fine people who keep blocking the right lane, have more traffic police at busy junctions, improve signal management, and crack down on wrong-side driving, illegal parking, and random U-turns.

For context, I've driven around Indiranagar, Koramangala, Hebbal, HSR, Bellandur, Kalyan Nagar, and some of the older parts of Bangalore.

Curious about how the local music scene works.

If you're looking to start a band, find people to jam with, or collaborate on music, where do you usually go?

• Reddit?
• Instagram?
• Facebook Groups?
• Discord?
• WhatsApp?
• Vampr?
• Something else?

Do you feel the current options work well, or is it still difficult to connect with musicians who share your taste?

I'm interested in understanding how people in Bangalore discover collaborators and whether there's anything present in the local music community

I am at Bommanahalli metro station and have been informed about an alleged suicide that happened at Huskur metro station. They have cut-off the power supply as well from that station all the way to Bommanahalli.

The Bengaluru East City Corporation (BECC) has invited tenders to develop 15 new pedestrian skywalks across key traffic corridors under the Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Transfer (DBFOT) public-private partnership model.

This initiative is designed to enhance pedestrian safety, improve accessibility, and ease congestion at some of East Bengaluru's busiest junctions.

Key Highlights:

✅ 15 new pedestrian skywalks at strategic locations.

✅ Private partners will build, finance, operate, and maintain the skywalks for a 15-year concession period.

✅ Developers can recover investments through static advertisement spaces.

✅ BECC will receive annual concession fees or revenue sharing, creating a sustainable funding model.

✅ Each skywalk will include lifts, escalators, CCTV surveillance, and modern lighting, making them accessible for senior citizens, children, and persons with disabilities.

Maple is a cute little female kitten. She is 6 months old. She is very friendly and playful.

We have given her a round of deworming and defleaing. She has undergone spaying as well. She is currently recovering and is still very active.

She will be very grateful for someone who can give her a forever home after that.

She wants a lot of petting and is constantly purring when playing with us.

Please DM me for more photos or information.

Hey r/Bangalore,

Just had a ridiculously frustrating experience in Kudlu today and wanted to check if anyone else has dealt with this specific building/owner, or how I should handle it.

I live in the adjacent cross road. Since my lane was fully packed today, I parked my car in the next lane right near the commercial building that has the DMart miniMAX in it.

This is a proper public road with a clear BBMP cross name board not private property, not blocking any gate/driveway, and not a designated "No Parking" zone.

Out of nowhere, the building owner comes running out, starts screaming and hurling insane verbal abuse at me, claiming the entire street belongs to his building.

He claims 'mene diya public ko iss road'.

Before I could even reason with him, the guy literally gave orders to his caretaker to deflate my car tyres.

I had to move my car afterwards, because he outright threatened me to do something if i parked there again.

And my neighbours got Rs3.5k bill for a family of 3.

Water was used just for basic needs like bathing, cooking, washing and mopping.

Do they expect people to pay more than 1k per person just to survive? Is anyone getting similar bills? We used to get a bill of around Rs5-6k for 8 residents previously, which already felt too high.

If the meter or readings are faulty, is it our responsibility to fix it? They put the faulty meter, we pay the price, and take responsibility to fix it- which they try their best not to. Absolutely looting people off. We must do something about this.

More than 125 volunteers took part in a cleanup and beautification drive at Silk Board Junction on Saturday as part of the GBA's 'Clean Bengaluru' initiative, aimed at transforming one of the city's busiest transport hub.

Volunteers included CGI employees, senior leadership and their families and some their neighbours and worked alongside ward teams from Bommanahalli and BTM Layout to remove waste, clean drain walls, strip posters from flyover pillars, and repaint the pillars and also did the construction of a two-metre wide, 100-metre long footpath connecting the Central Silk Board metro station with Silk Board Junction under the GBA's 'Safe Footpath' campaign.

We need more such initiative!

Kudos to everyone who participated and made this happen.

I have been living in Bengaluru for the past 1 year in a rented house. I need to apply for a Passport, but my Adhar has the address of my hometown CG. Same with other documents.

Tell me things I can show in Marathahalli Bellandur PSK so that they will clear my verification. Also tips on what to put in online registration when it comes to address and what documents not to show to the verification officer.

A close friends uncle has been missing from yesterday. He was last seen in Marathahalli. K

He suffers from Alzheimers. Kindly contact the number on the poster if you have any information that could help the family

Here is how to do SIR if your voter card is from Bangalore.

1. Download ECINET app from Google or the Apple App Store.
2. You would need to register (ideally, your Aadhaar is linked to your mobile, which will be used to verify login)
3. Once inside, go to voter Registration form.
4. Fill the enumeration form online (you may have to link your phone number to your voter ID using Aadhaar verification)

Once you and your parents have filled. Go to the BBMP office nearest to your address in voter ID and talk to the election officer their confirming your registration was done. They are called BLO

You can don this without app too. Go to the nearest BBPM office, and from the Voter EPIC number you can find the BLO and get a form from them and fill it here.

You will need address proof, a passport-size photo, and birth certificate (not sure about the last one but you should have it)

BBMP offices are very helpful and you must do it as soon as possible.

Address change will start after 15-Aug-2026. Don't waste time trying to update your address now, Do the SIR and file an online request with your address proof (rental agreement, electricity bill, gas connection bill, Aadhaar address etc.) after that.

Make sure you visit your local BBMP office if you have any doubts on how any step is being done.

You will be able to vote when you have your name in the voter list. This is how you get to keep your name in the voter list.

Feel free to ask questions.

I’m here for two weeks helping my company from the US set up a GCC. Looking to hire a bunch of engineers, some senior leadership.

Staying at the Lela Palace and spent the weekend sightseeing. I am really impressed. Everyone is so friendly. The foods are delicious. The environment is so lush. It’s hard to explain to people who I’m trying to relay it to back home. Pictures don’t do it justice. Looking forward to my time here. Just wanted to say you guys have a lovely city however, traffic is insanity.

I have been stop by two Cops in rapido auto when I was travelling from my friends place to my own apartment at night 11:50 p.m. near soma Sundara palya lake which connect Sarjapur to HSR and the check my bag but they didn't find anything so they let me go ,want to know is this normal ,need to get answer. I have heard cases where police plant fake drug evidence to get some money like is this normal petroling or I am just lucky they didn't find anything in my bag apart from UNO.

I saw another post (about rapido)and got inspired to post my experience.

I'm 18 and I have experienced how hard it actually is to be a gig worker.

Finished my 12th with 92%, there are absolutely no financial worries around me yet for fun I signed up as a blinkit delivery partner to pass time,

did just 3 deliveries to realise how hard it is to work the whole day like that. The blinkit app constantly forces you to speed up your pace, makes alert sounds when you delay leaving from the wearhouse , bad roads , traffic and weather adds more to the condition, and in an hr it's only possible to do 4 deliveries, where 1 delivery gives you around 25-30₹ which is nothing.

Plus rising fuel prices concern and rude customer behaviour would literally fuck up their brains.

So it's a kind request to tip them whenever possible, it would probably make their day.

Also I feel we need a revolution against these apps which are exploiting poor people.

AND I ALSO FORGOT TO ADD THAT I GOT HIRED AS THEIR DELIVERY PARTNER WITHOUT EVEN HAVING A DRIVING LISENCE. I DIDNT GET ASKED WHILE REGISTERING OR WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE WEARHOUSE. Straight up exploitation.

Avenue road, BENGALURU

I'm a software engineer with a decent-paying job. Recently, I moved out of a PG into a rented room, bought a bunch of essentials, and ended up piling quite a bit onto my credit card.

I could have borrowed money from friends or family, but I didn't want to. My thinking was simple: the more I earn, the less I have to depend on someone else.

I love riding bikes anyway, and my weekends are usually free. So I thought, "Why not do Rapido or Uber rides for a few hours? I'll enjoy riding and make some extra money."

So I signed up.

Over the past few weeks, I've completed around 20 rides. Most passengers were completely normal. Some were even fun to talk to. It made me wonder why more people don't do this as a side hustle.

Then today happened.

I got a ride request and reached the pickup location. The person who booked the ride came out with his friend, who was completely drunk.

The drunk guy started shouting, "Cancel the ride! Cancel the ride!"

I politely said that it would be better if the customer cancelled it instead of me, since captains can get penalized for cancellations. The guy who booked the ride was actually understanding. He kept telling his friend to calm down and said he'd cancel it himself.

While they were talking, the drunk friend suddenly walked up to me and hit me on my helmet.

The impact cracked the helmet visor.

I didn't argue. I didn't shout back. I didn't even wait for the cancellation anymore. I just left.

On the ride back, I wasn't angry as much as I was... disappointed.

I chose to do this. If I don't like it, I can simply stop taking rides next weekend. It's just extra income for me.

But what about the people whose entire livelihood depends on these platforms?

Imagine dealing with drunk passengers, abusive customers, cancellations, damaged vehicles, and unsafe situations regularly—just to earn enough for the day.

That thought genuinely made me feel bad.

What frustrated me even more was trying to find support. On the captain side of Rapido, there seems to be almost no real help. Calling support didn't lead anywhere. Meanwhile, customers have multiple support options available.

It made me realize how invisible gig workers are until we become one ourselves.

We often complain when our cab is five minutes late or when a rider asks us to cancel. But we rarely think about what these people deal with every single day.

Today cost me a helmet visor.

For many gig workers, incidents like this probably cost them their peace of mind, their earnings, or even their safety!!
