Namma Bangalore: A Beacon of Hope Lets not exploit big cities, especially those that serve as the lifeline of INDIA, such as Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi etc. Many individuals from smaller towns and villages migrate to these cities to pursue job opportunities or launch their own businesses. After a few months or years, they often find success in securing a good job or achieving a breakthrough with their company. However, it is disheartening to see the same individuals begin exploiting the city through excessive consumption. As humans, our basic needs are food, clothing, and shelter. While it's okay to aspire for a bigger house, good food, and a luxury car, we must be mindful not to overindulge in excessive consumption. Buying multiple homes and cars specially in Bangalore can lead to overconsumption, as Bangalore Infrastructure doesn't support that. The issue arises when we begin to think I exerted great effort and participated in numerous late-night meetings. I believe I deserve to indulge in the fruits of my labor, these individuals engage in excessive consumption. If one possesses an attitude of gratitude, the Bangalore ecosystem aided me in securing a job. The competitive nature of Bangalore motivated me to work diligently. I owe my current status to Bangalore; therefore, it is imperative that we refrain from overconsumption and exploiting the Bangalore ecosystem. Utilize public transportation to the fullest extent possible and refrain from purchasing multiple properties in Bangalore. Live a modest lifestyle in Bangalore. If one strategically plans their financial calculations while residing in big cities for 10-15 years, they can potentially accumulate enough wealth to comfortably transition to smaller cities for the next 30-40 years, provided they choose to live a simpler lifestyle. A simple life gives birth to more clarity, inner peace and meaningful relationships. I stayed in Noida and Bangalore for a period of 12 years, spanning from 2010 to 2022. Throughout my tenure, I utilized public transportation and relied on a bicycle to commute from my rented 1bhk house to the metro station. I had enough money to purchase a bike /car or even own a house in Bangalore, but I made a conscious decision not to not exploit Bangalore. Until we truly see Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi as our nurturing Mother, we will continue to exploit her resources without gratitude. A mother finds contentment in sharing her possessions with her children. Mother Bangalore is taking care of us in the same way. Let's lead a simple life in Bangalore and save Mother Bangalore for the future generation.

Blog - 02. Navigating the High Cost of Living in Bangalore: A Reflection In the bustling metropolitan hub of Bangalore, where dreams are chased and opportunities abound, there exists a silent but significant struggle – the ever-increasing cost of living. As the city evolves into a global tech hub, so do its expenses, particularly in housing and education. The pressure to earn six-digit salaries to merely survive has become a common refrain among residents. In the midst of this hustle, it's essential to pause and reflect. Do we truly need to push ourselves to the limit, working double shifts and sacrificing our well-being, just to keep up with the relentless demands of city life? When we consider the myriad expenses – from housing and healthcare to education and daily needs – it's no wonder that many find themselves questioning the sustainability of this lifestyle. While Bangalore offers unparalleled opportunities, it's crucial to reassess our priorities and redefine what it means to thrive in this fast-paced environment. Perhaps it's time to explore alternative ways of managing expenses and achieving a sense of balance and fulfillment. Yes, the allure of Bangalore's bright lights and endless possibilities is undeniable. But amidst the chaos, let's not lose sight of what truly matters – our health, happiness, and overall well-being. It's time to pause, reflect, and find our own path to success and contentment in this dynamic cityscape. #Struggle #Happiness #wellbeing #bangalore #blogs

Sorry 🙏 for not posting any content in so many days, was busy in personal and professional goals, will share journey for those as well in some other posts. Recently I shifted home in Bangalore after 1.5 Years, And it was not easy at all, Bangalore rents are 🥶. The biggest challenges that i faced while planning to move out. - Find a place near your workplace so that you don't end up in traffic everyday. - Place without water problems ( though most places in bangalore is having some kind of problems with water whether it is hard water, water timings, water charges or no water for days 🥶). - Place to have something to eat and happening market nearby for everyday tea or to hang around ☕️. - Rents are crazy high right now, find a place that is economical as well as fits your requirements. (Deposits in bangalore is also relatively very high) - Movement costs and headache for arranging it though i used NoBroker, it helped to some extent but still it takes time for the movement. My journey from moving previous home to this one was truly experiential and made me better at managing alot of things on my own. Very Grateful for the experience of previous home and waiting for new experiences at new place. Friends are true support in these times 😁❤️. Let me know in comments what problems you faced while shifting in bangalore. PS :- Last pic at my previous place with sunset 🌅.

Every one plans their financials for the next 5 years, but learning is to plan nature sustainability also equally for the next 5 years.
All these years, Bangalore has behaved like a typical Bangalorean. Friendly, naive and nice. But, nice things never happen to nice guys. When the modern working class complained, "Argh. It's 23 deg. So damn hot and uncomfortable to sit in this cubicle while writing code to help my client in the States cut down on his Carbon footprint", Bangalore took it to heart. And so he allowed people to build massive tech parks on its lakes with centrally air conditioned buildings only to make sure the temperature could always be 22.5 degrees inside the building. Because hey, we all know how painful it is to be subjected to 23 deg. When the politician complained, "Look at Bihar, UP. There's no way we can make money like that in this annoying place", Bangalore felt bad for him. So Bangalore gave him all of its green cover at throwaway prices so he could throw it away at exorbitant prices to the real estate mafia, who then sold it at 100x exorbitant prices to, well, Bangaloreans. When tech moguls complained "Terrible infrastructure. My company's productivity is going down. The 5 lac people I've brought in from other states to make me richer, aren't able to reach my slog-hole on time. Is this what you call hospitality, Bangalore?" Bangalore panicked. "Did I do something wrong? This must be really my fault." So Bangalore gave away trees and his peace-of-mind, began upgrading by constructing flyovers, broadening roads, more flyovers while inconveniencing locals as it jeopardised traffic for a few years. But Bangalore was happy taking the blame as long as tech moguls could sleep peacefully at night while their coders reached office on time in the mornings. When Bangaloreans cribbed "I'm working 18 hours a day trying, I have no place to chill", Bangalore felt their pain. So Bangalore gave away a few more of its trees and lakes and modesty for malls and McDonald's. (Though we've remained good friends, Bangalore and I, I let him know he pushed it too far with McDonald's. More Corner Houses could've been a better plan, though.) When Bangaloreans cribbed "Man. I'm so stressed making a ton of money at work, but I can't even party the night out beyond 11.30," Bangalore listened. And then replied, "Shut the f**k up." Come on, even nice guys lose it sometimes. Now when Bangaloreans are cribbing, "Man, this city is going to be unlivable in the next 5 years", Bangalore is weeping. Not because he's upset with people treating him like shit. He's upset with Himself. He's wondering if he didn't do enough. If he didn't sacrifice enough lakes. Didn't uproot enough trees. He feels like he has let others down. He feels he is to be blamed. Because nice guys are like that. Nice guys don't always finish last, sometimes they are just finished. (Wrote this 8 years ago. Unfortunately, it has aged well.) #workspaces #bangalore

Strategic Partnership Manager (HNI's & UHNI's) at NoBroker.com | Entrepreneur | Market Speculator ( Daily Financial Digest)
#Bangalore, known as the Silicon Valley of India, has witnessed a meteoric rise in its real estate sector over the past decade. With a burgeoning IT industry, a cosmopolitan culture, and a pleasant climate, #Bangalore has become one of India's most sought-after cities for property #investment. Let's delve into the dynamics of the Bangalore real estate market and explore what makes it tick. 1. The #IT Hub Effect: Bangalore's status as India's leading IT hub has been a major catalyst for its real estate boom. The city is home to numerous multinational corporations, tech startups, and research institutions, attracting a steady influx of skilled professionals from across the country and abroad. This influx of talent has created a high demand for residential and commercial properties, especially in areas like Electronic City, Whitefield, and Outer Ring Road, where many IT parks and corporate offices are located. 2. #Infrastructure Development: The Karnataka government's focus on infrastructure development has played a crucial role in driving the real estate market forward. Projects such as the Metro rail expansion, road widening initiatives, and the development of peripheral ring roads have improved connectivity and accessibility to various parts of the city, thereby enhancing the value of properties located in these areas. 3. Thriving #Social Infrastructure: Bangalore boasts a robust social infrastructure comprising top-notch educational institutions, healthcare facilities, shopping malls, and recreational centers. Areas with proximity to these amenities tend to witness higher demand and appreciation in property prices. Neighborhoods like Koramangala, Indiranagar, and Jayanagar are prime examples of localities that offer a perfect blend of residential convenience and social amenities. 4. Shift Towards Affordable #Housing: While luxury apartments and villas continue to be in demand, there has been a noticeable shift towards affordable housing in Bangalore. With the rise of co-living spaces, micro-apartments, and compact housing units, developers are catering to the needs of young professionals and nuclear families looking for budget-friendly accommodation options without compromising on quality and amenities. 5. Regulatory Reforms: The implementation of regulatory reforms such as the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) has brought transparency and accountability to the real estate sector. Buyers are now more confident in investing in properties knowing that they are protected by stringent regulations aimed at safeguarding their interests. In conclusion, the Bangalore real estate market presents lucrative opportunities for investors and homebuyers alike. With its thriving economy, robust infrastructure, and cosmopolitan lifestyle, Bangalore continues to be a shining beacon in India's real estate landscape. #realestate #bangalore #karnataka #hni #uhni #nobroker #marketupdate

A very interesting take on Bangalore's crisis - water, transport and overflowing unplanned urbanization. The comments section is even more insightful. Is Bangalore showing the future of all our beloved cities? Perhaps masterplans need to re-invented, relooked and altered to keep up with the pace of Climate Change and man-made errors. And cities with no plans would need one now for sure.

We are paying a WATS Tax - Water - Shortage, Air - Polluted Air (Check API Quality), Traffic - Walking may be faster and Sound ( Honking ) for being the nice guys! As a Bangalore resident for years, I completely agree with what has happened to our beloved city and partly, we are to blame for this too. But, the now and future may still be improved, if every one contributes to improvement. Here are some personal "to do" lists to improve Bangalore. Beginner - Level 1 1. Water - Use a bucket to wash rather than a shower 2. Air - Plant just one tree to start with - Snake Pant easy to care and purifies air 3. Traffic - Car Pool rather than individual vehicles. 4. Sound - Stop Honking. ( My favorite- VIPs dont honk, and if you are honking, you are not a VIP for me to let you overtake, especially, there is no place in front of me) Intermediate - Level 2 1. Water - Instal water tap aerators - May require new taps - 500 Rs per tap 2. Air - Maintain a small garden of air purifying plants 3. Traffic - Use public transport 4. Sound - Remove the horn from your vehicle. It is not difficult to drive without it, after some practice. Advanced - Level 3 1. Water - Instal Rain Water Harvesting 2. Air - Apartment Terrace and company and public gardens to increase. Dont concretise public gardens like now.. 3. Traffic - Pl suggest ( not more flyovers or underpasses) 4. Sound - Make it socially unacceptable to honk, by just looking at the guy who keeps honking unnecessarily. Pl add in the comments below

It's alarming to see what we are willing to let happen to our spaces in the name of development. We need to redefine development as a destination where we have clean air to breathe, clean water for everyone, green buildings and efficient public transport that everyone takes, not in terms of malls, highways and glittering steel & glass constructions that are inhospitable to our climate. Several Indian cities are already staring at water crises, while the air we breathe is increasingly toxic, and global temperatures are rising beyond the point of return. Can we as governments, corporates and citizens fast-track thinking in terms of stakeholder value, and long-term cost-benefit analysis?
