Bangalore, we built a map of every meal under ₹100 — and it's growing faster than we ever imagined

Bangalore, we built a map of every meal under ₹100 — and it's growing faster than we ever imagined

A while back this was nothing. An empty map. A stubborn idea that good food in this city shouldn't have to cost a fortune.

Today? It's turning into something we genuinely didn't expect — plates, stalls, Darshinis, mess houses and hidden little counters from all over Bangalore showing up on the map, one contribution at a time. Every single spot on there exists because someone decided it was too good not to share. That's the whole engine behind this thing, and honestly, watching it fill up has been one of the most exciting things we've been part of.

What it actually is:

  • A live, crowdsourced map of affordable and healthy food anywhere in Bangalore priced ₹100 or under. That's the one rule. No exceptions.
  • Zero sign-up needed to browse or contribute — open it in your browser, drop a pin, done.
  • No ads, no "sponsored" placements, no paid lists. Just real places real people eat at.
  • Upvotes & reviews — the good spots rise because people actually go back, and we have the proof here
  • Star-rating and reviews — think its too much, you have the power to change.

Why we're posting this here: Because this only works if it keeps growing, and it grows because of people like you. We know there are legendary ₹40 meals tucked away in Whitefield, in random by-lanes off Indiranagar, behind unmarked shutters in Jayanagar — the kind of place you only know about because someone told you. That knowledge is exactly what this map is built to hold onto.

So — if there's a spot you swear by, the one you'd be a little annoyed if it got "discovered" and ruined... share it anyway. Someone out there is looking for exactly that today. Upload it, tell us what you get for how much, and let the next hungry Bangalorean thank you for it.

This city runs on good, cheap food and the people who know where to find it. Let's map all of it.

I made a map to find affordable food. Need help adding cheap and affordable food spots across India

I've been building Beggars Map, a map focused on finding genuinely affordable food.

Why do we call it Beggars Map? Why not? Why beat around the bush? 😄

The idea is simple: instead of searching for restaurants based mainly on ratings or ₹₹₹, you can search for food that fits a small budget.

Healthy. Tasty. Affordable.

For example:

  • Amazing, fulfilling and complete breakfasts for ₹50–₹100
  • Dosa/idli around your area
  • A proper meal with carbs + protein + vegetables under ₹100
  • Affordable biryani/thali/North Indian food
  • Cheap food near your college, school, hostel or home
  • Search by food, restaurant name or area

No login or sign-up is required to browse the map.

I'm starting with Bangalore, but the map is intended for all of India. You can already add places from other cities too.

And this is where I need help from you guys:

>

I'm especially interested in places that aren't famous or are lost in the jungle of Instagram and Google Maps.

Small messes, darshinis, local breakfast spots, college-area food, ₹50 thalis, etc.

Bangalore is just the starting point. I'd love to eventually have enough community-added places that someone can open this in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Guwahati, Chennai, Pune, Jaipur, anywhere, and find something affordable nearby.

It's a very early soft launch, so please try to break it 😂

If you try it, I'd really appreciate feedback on:

  • Does the search make sense?
  • Can you find places easily?
  • Any bugs, especially on mobile?
  • Is the ₹100-ish affordable-meal idea useful?
  • What city/area should we add next?
  • What affordable food spots do you think absolutely need to be on the map?

Beggars Map: beggarsmap.com

If you add a place, tell me the city + place name in the comments too. I'd love to see which parts of India start appearing on the map first.

TLDR: “Why do we call it Beggars Map? Why not? Why beat around the bush?” log in, it is self explanatory.

PS: Mod, please go easy on me, if i make any mistake with the posting. please do let me know.

I built a map for finding genuinely affordable food in India. Soft-launching in Bangalore, looking for feedback.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on something called Beggars Map and I’m soft-launching it in Bangalore.

The idea is pretty simple:

Find good food without spending ₹200–₹500 every time you eat out.

Instead of just showing restaurants, Beggars Map is focused on finding places that fit an actual budget.

For example, you might be looking for:

  • A complete breakfast under ₹100, or even ₹50 or less, provided it’s clean and reasonably healthy.
  • A proper meal with carbs + protein + vegetables under ₹100 or less.
  • Cheap dosa/idli/thali meals.
  • Good food around your current location.
  • Affordable places around a particular area.
  • Something specific like biryani, north Indian, dosa, etc.

You can search by restaurant name, food/item, or area, and the map shows relevant places that have been added to Beggars Map.

And that's where we grow as community

The map is only as useful as the places people add to it. If you know a tiny breakfast place, mess, dosa shop, darshini, thali place, or some completely underrated spot serving a proper meal for ₹50–₹100, add it.

No login. No sign-up. No account needed to browse or contribute.
Just open the map and start looking for affordable food.

The idea is pretty simple:

Find good food without spending ₹200–₹500 every time you eat out.

The Bangalore launch is intentional because that's where I'm starting the community. But the goal is India-wide.

Practically, you can already use it from other parts of India too. I'm just focusing on Bengaluru first because that's where I'm building the initial phase.

Eventually, I'd like someone to open Beggars Map in Bangalore, Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Guwahati, Hyderabad, wherever, and actually find affordable food nearby.

This is a VERY early soft launch.

So please expect flaws, bugs, questionable decisions, heavy post-production changes, and the occasional thing flying completely out of the blue. 😂

In fact, I'd appreciate it if you try to break it.

Tell me:

  • What doesn't work?
  • What search terms fail?
  • Are the results actually useful?
  • Is anything confusing?
  • Are there restaurants or areas you know that should be on the map?
  • Any bugs on mobile?
  • Does the ₹100 affordable-meal idea make sense, or should the ceiling be lower/higher?
  • What would make you actually use something like this?

And if you know a great cheap place, add it to the map.

That's probably more valuable to me right now than compliments. 😄

What our fathers' silence actually protected — and what it cost them

My father has never once told me he was scared. Not when his job nearly went under, not when my grandmother was sick for two years, not when he moved cities alone at twenty-two with no contacts and half a plan. I only pieced these things together from my mother, years later, in fragments.

That silence wasn't nothing. It got him through things I'm not sure I could get through the same way. He showed up every day, provided, didn't collapse in front of the people depending on him. Whatever else you want to say about that generation of Northeastern men — Assamese, Naga, Mizo, Manipuri, doesn't matter which state — a lot of them held households together through real instability with basically no language for what it was costing them, and no one expected them to have one.

The cost shows up later, though. Mine can talk to me about business, land, politics, other men's failures in detail — but if I bring up something that actually happened to me emotionally, he changes the subject within thirty seconds. Not out of coldness. He just doesn't have the muscle for it, because nobody ever asked him to build it. And I've caught myself doing the exact same redirect with my own friends when a conversation gets close to something real.

I don't think the answer is rejecting what he modeled wholesale. The steadiness, the refusal to make your problems everyone else's problem, showing up regardless of how you feel that day — that's still worth having. What's worth leaving behind is the part where steadiness became the only mode available, where having no language for fear or grief got mistaken for not having them.

TL;DR: Our fathers' stoicism carried real households through real hardship, but it often left them (and now us) without any language for fear, grief, or loneliness — the discipline is worth keeping, the silence isn't.
What did your father actually pass down to you — the steadiness, the silence, or both, and have you managed to separate the two?

Was Ethanol Blending Just a Cover for a Massive Petrol Price Hike?

Is this one of the government's smartest political moves?

Think about it. Regular petrol used to cost around ₹105 per litre (give or take, depending on the state). Now, with ethanol blending becoming the norm, the only "pure" petrol available costs around ₹160 per litre.

If that's true, then the price of pure petrol has effectively increased by more than 50%, yet there hasn't been the kind of nationwide outrage we'd expect from such a massive price hike at once. Instead, the public debate has shifted almost entirely to whether ethanol blending is good or bad, engine safety, etc.

Has the entire conversation moved from "Why is petrol so expensive?" to "Should petrol contain ethanol?" while the actual price of pure petrol quietly skyrocketed?

Am I missing something, or is this an interesting way to look at it?

Indmoney- is it a scam or legit, whatever, STAY AWAY.

I opened an account in an INDmoney and without any transaction or anything done from my end, they bought a few stocks on my behalf and did a few more transactions without my knowledge.

&#x200B;

When I reached out for help, no support and no refund, it was just around ₹150/- bucks but I hope people understand the seriousness of such situations.

&#x200B;

The worst part is INDmoney not even admitting the glitch in their system.

&#x200B;

Please stay away from this app, if you don't want to be scammed.

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

Hello,Mr. CEO, u/ashish_INDmoney

&#x200B;

On a serious note, how much money do you guys make on a monthly basis, through these scams.

&#x200B;

Like you steal 100ish bucks from your users, go unnoticed and make how, common man that's a good gig you got for yourself, you phucking theif.

&#x200B;

PS. TIL this sub is full of INDmoney bots.
