The city of Bangalore, capital of Karnataka in india is one of he major cities in india. Located in the Deccan platue in the south of the country, which is well connected with the rest of the country.
The climate is mild and pleasurable when compared to the rest of the country. The city is famous for its pub culture, gardens and IT and scientific community.
But now the city is going through a transformation, I don’t know if it’s for good or bad. I’ve been living in the city from few years now and below are my observation.
The locals are good and approachable and the city boasts its own cultural thing which is nice. The people from all walks of life and all corner of the world living hear means you will bump into someone, which makes you feel good. It is a good city to make a living/money but tits such that initially you really gotta hustle a lot or should have a fat bank balance.
Now the bad parts, which takes away all the good side of the city, that is traffic. Traffic in the city is unbearable and the narrow curvy roads makes navigating the city during rush hour a night mare. You may even take 3 hours to reach 20km. The roads on few parts of the city is bad. The local city buses are good but they ply on their own time and the service is too less after 9-10pm. The city is connected with Metro now but it covers a very small part which is not reliable everyday. So because if this living here is difficult.
Before the city was known for its night life and the music festivals too. Things have changed now from last 2 years. Few big international shows were cancelled in the city a year back. There was an argument about the right to host the concert between the event management company and the local governing body. They did not reach a happy ending, which left both parties dour after that there is drastic reduction in the number of events that happens in the city.
It’s also the beer capital of the country which has one of the highest consumption of beer and has the highest number of beer taps in the country. But now most of the good ones are super expensive and the renewing ones are shady and sub par.
The city is expensive in comparison to other cities. Of course you will get what you pay but the bar is high. The rickshaws in the cities are nightmare and it’s best to avoid.
In the end if you have some local connection in Bangalore, the city still opens up to another beautiful side and hidden gems. But it’s restricted and is not accessible to most and definitely not the tourist crowd.
