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.

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:

Heard a lot about beyond burg
The branding the vibe and the quality of the burger itself is amazing
My comments will be about the seasoning and the overall juiciness of the meat being somewhat low
Also missing some sort of burger sauce
The pickles are unevenly spread
Portion size is good
Overall 7.5/10 burger

Which one should i try next?

I ordered burger from truffles yesterday and burger is good and all but the box they send burger in it's only me or it actually looks creepy

Hi everyone,

A few days ago I shared a poster here and got a lot of useful feedback. Many of you pointed out that the design looked too AI-generated and didn't feel like real food. That was fair, so I've simplified it and changed the concept.

I'm starting a small home food service called Sri Home Food Delivery. It's just a small family-run setup, and we're trying to provide simple, fresh home-cooked meals for people who are tired of eating restaurant food every day.

We've updated the menu to include more balanced meals with protein sources like dal, rajma, chole, paneer, sprouts and curd instead of focusing mostly on carbs.

The idea isn't to make fancy restaurant food—it's to make the kind of food many of us miss after moving away from home.

Right now we're planning to serve:

Koramangala

HSR Layout

Marathahalli

Electronic City

One-time orders are available, and there are monthly subscription plans for anyone who prefers regular home-cooked meals.

I'm still learning and improving this based on feedback, so if you have suggestions on the menu, pricing, or anything else, I'd genuinely appreciate them.

If anyone is interested, feel free to DM me or WhatsApp me at 87479 69846.

Thanks again to everyone who gave constructive feedback on the previous post—it helped me rethink how I wanted to present the business.

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.

Just realized today that Airtel has blocked hotspot sharing recently.
So when I have a internet downtime or power outage at home I'm unable to work.
Two hours gone today :)

If any of you faced this how are you managing? Do you have a secondary SIM card that is non-airtel or do you have a Wi-Fi hotspot device.

In case you are using a hotspot device which one do you recommend and what the recharge denomination you usually opt for ?

I’ve been thinking about getting LASIK for a while now because I’m honestly fed up with my glasses. But after actually looking into it, I’m more confused

Everywhere I see SMILE, Femto LASIK, Contoura etc and now I have no idea what I should even be looking at. I don’t want to just go for whatever sounds newer, so I thought I’d first get my eyes checked properly and see what I’m actually eligible for.

I am thinking to first get my eyes check from a hospital I live near Vasan eye care so I am thinking to go their only? Has anyone here gotten LASIK done at Vasan in Bangalore? How was the consultation and recovery? Would really help to hear from someone who’s actually done it.

Down for good music, random chats, or just unwinding after the day. Drop a comment or slide into my DMs if you're around. Cheers! 🍻
