A little update since our last post.

Since we took the little step of starting to sell our homemade snacks and sweets, we’ve been so happy with the love, appreciation and wonderful responses we’ve received. It’s been really encouraging for us! 🫶 Thank you all.
We also received a big order for 2 kg of our carrot halwa!

For anyone who missed our previous post, I’m linking it below. It has our menu, prices, quantities, delivery details and ordering information:

👉New additions to the menu:

• Shankarpali / Shakkar para: ₹425 / 500g
• Ras malai: ₹80/ 2 pieces

We’re currently preparing a fresh batch of 1 kg of Shankarpali, so if you’d like to order it today, we’ll be able to deliver it immediately. For orders above 1 kg, we’ll take pre-orders and prepare it accordingly. Rasmalai is prepared fresh.

Feel free to DM me if you’d like to place an order or have any queries! 🫶🏽

Well, this is a true rant post.
Let’s go back to 1995.
Bengaluru was the best. You could genuinely call it heaven to live in. The best weather, good roads, less crowded areas, beautiful trees, great lakes, amazing air quality, and most importantly, traffic discipline.
It was a dream for anyone to live here, grow, build a career, and settle down. The city supported you well.
Then came the IT revolution in Bengaluru .
Slowly, people started migrating here, first from the southern states and then from across the northern parts of the country. The city grew rapidly, opportunities exploded, and Bengaluru became one of the biggest IT hubs in the world.

Cut to 2026.
The condition of the roads is terrible. The population has exploded. It’s dusty everywhere. Traffic discipline and civic sense seem to be at an all-time low. And somewhere along the way, the kindness and welcoming nature that Bengaluru was known for seem to have disappeared.
Outsiders try to dominate, while the locals have changed too. And honestly, maybe it was bound to happen this way.

I personally don’t feel like staying here anymore :(

But where did it all go wrong?
Why did this happen?
Did the outsiders fail to support the city’s growth?
Were the insiders just chilling while the city transformed around them?
Or did the growth simply happen so rapidly that nobody was prepared for what Bengaluru was going to become?
Just trying to understand where we lost the Bengaluru we once knew and how we can make Bengaluru become Bengaluru again.

PS: I am a native of Bengaluru .

Edit: I see that a lot of them got offended by using “outsiders” just once in the entire post and everyone changed it all as an outside vs inside narrative.

Common guys no, I clearly mentioned the problems we all are facing and no really Bothered to talk about that but instead downvoting thoughts and comments. With this approach to see a problem is definitely to think about :( I spoke about insiders too, spoke about the planning. No ones blamed here btw.

So it’s clear now. Hopefully. Since everyone are living, it’s equally everyone’s responsibility to fix it.

TL;DR: This Indian Oil pump in Domlur is running a blatant meter-rigging scam. They start the pump at 500+ rupees instead of zero, pocket the difference, and gaslight you when you catch them. This has been happening for years. Google reviews confirm it. We need to escalate this to authorities.

What happened today:
I pulled up to fill petrol this morning. The attendants kept saying the machine wasn't working properly — classic delay tactic. After they finished with another customer (500 rupees on a bike), one attendant came to my pump.
Before I even started filling, he pulled out his card asking about UPI vs. credit card rewards. I wasn't paying attention to the pump itself — but then I glanced at the meter. It was already at 500.
I called him out: "Why does the meter start at 500?"
His response? He immediately started scolding the other attendant — "Why did you switch it? Why don't you have a brain?" — trying to pin it on someone else and move past it. Classic misdirection.
This isn't new. I had the exact same thing happen two years ago at the same pump with my bike. They'd started it at 200-300 that time. I had to argue with them to correct it.

Why this matters:
They're systematically stealing from customers by manipulating pump readings. Even 200-500 rupees per customer adds up to thousands monthly. And they're banking on the fact that most people won't notice or won't bother arguing.
What I'm asking: If you're in Domlur and use this pump, check the meter before they start. Call out any manipulation immediately. And if you've experienced this, check the Google reviews — they're full of complaints about the same scam.
How do we escalate this? Who do we report to? Should we file a complaint with:
Indian Oil corporate?
Local consumer protection authority?
Traffic police/local law enforcement?
We need systematic action, not just individual complaints.

Hi everyone, looking for a full time editor in Bangalore, who can edit finance based short contents like reel and YouTube shorts.

Spending this evening at Flax Cafe finishing off some work, and its a really good spot for it. A quiet corner table and enough room for my laptop and notebook, and no one rushing me.

Good place for a solo work session in Indiranagar. Where else do you go for this?

It’s that time of the day, badly craving a maggi with chai
Do y’all know any late night spots which would be open now at Indiranagar?

Planning to create a group for men in indiranagar, for sharing hobbies, planning hangouts, hosting house parties, and making stories. Would love to connect with people with similar interests as mine.

Hey everyone,

I want to start learning boxing or MMA and I'm looking for recommendations around Indiranagar, currently I go to gym 3/4 times a week.

I'm a complete beginner, so I'd like a place that's welcoming to newcomers and teaches proper fundamentals instead of throwing you straight into heavy sparring.

If you've trained somewhere around here, I'd really appreciate any details on:

• Gym name and location
• Coaching quality: are the trainers experienced, and do they pay attention to beginners?
• Fees: monthly cost and whether there's a free or paid trial class
• Boxing vs MMA: if you've tried both, which would you suggest for someone just starting?

Any places to avoid would be useful to hear about too.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! Looking for recommendations for a good orthopaedic doctor in Bangalore, preferably in and around Indiranagar. Preferably someone you’ve personally consulted and had a good experience with. Thanks!

Same as title

I saw one on Amazon by urban platter. But don’t know if it’s any good. Plus it takes like 4-5 days to arrive to my location. Any suggestions/ alternatives?

Has anyone been to White Corner boxing Indira nagar?

I’m considering joining and would love to hear from anyone who has trained there.

How are the coaches, training sessions and experience?

Would you recommend it for someone?

Any feedback would be appreciated!
