Just Moved to phase II for work, looking for friends to hangout around the city.

I need help maybe 4 hours a week

• just floors and dusting and bathrooms 2x a month in a 2BHK. Other than that I do everything myself.

I’m getting told 5k?? For 16ish hours a month!? Apps like Pronto, UC, etc don’t service my area and I don’t want different random unknown people coming in each time anyway, soooo-

I’d like to help someone make a bit of extra money, any schedule they want each week is ok- I am very flexible- I want it to work out and be helpful for them, but 5k seems high, no?

Thanks ☺️

And by the way, feel free to ignore my stalker commenting down there.

Regular shop asking Rs.3300 for a gas cylinder. It was around 1500 a few months back. I know there will be hike but is 3300 too much or is that the price now?

Had a funny interaction near Ajmera Infinity.

I went to the tailor right there to drop off my jeans to get the length shortened. After handing them over, I stopped by the mosambi juice stall right next door to grab a drink.

I told the vendor, "No ice, no water, and please don't use those darker, spotted mosambis—they'll ruin the taste" . Without missing a beat, the guy replied, "a person who is dark-skinned wouldn't be good either".

I couldn't help but smile at his quick wit—it was a killer comeback! He then mentioned that fruits come in all shades and the darker spots are completely natural and fine.

Walked away with some fresh juice and a good laugh!

I have been in Bangalore for almost 2.5 years now and I come from a middle-class family in North India. Like many of us, nothing was handed to me. I worked through every difficult phase of life on my own merit, completed my post-graduation from a Tier-1 engineering college, and today work at an organization that most Indians would genuinely feel proud of.

Over these years, Bangalore slowly started feeling like home.

I’ve tried my best to adapt here like learning bits of Kannada from my office friends, understanding local culture and South Indian history with genuine interest, respecting traditions, and just trying to be a good part of the city instead of being another outsider who only complains.

Now coming to what happened today.

Even though I own a car and a scooty, I usually walk 2+ km to and from office every day because there’s a decent footpath for most of the stretch. It takes around 20–25 minutes and honestly I enjoy it.

This morning, just around 100 meters before my office, there’s a traffic signal where smaller roads merge into the main road and cut through the footpath area. The signal was red, traffic was already lined up, and a Ciaz from one of the side roads was almost stationary at the junction.

I crossed in front of the car from the footpath side because there was enough space for a person to pass. At the same time, the driver started inching forward, so instinctively I just showed my palm meaning “let me cross”.

That’s it.

After I crossed, I turned back for a second and suddenly the driver rolled down his window and started shouting aggressively in Kannada. I replied calmly, “Footpath anna,” and continued walking because my office was right there.

But then he got out of the car.

He followed me for almost 20 meters, shouting continuously. The only phrase I could clearly understand was “lawde ke baal” repeated again and again. The irony of hearing a North Indian abuse used like that made it very clear what kind of anger this was rooted in.

People around the signal had started noticing. Security guards from nearby offices came out. One uncle even stepped in and told us to let it go. I ignored the guy and started walking again.

When I turned back later to thank that uncle, the driver thought I was looking at him again and came charging toward me once more, shouting the same things, pointing fingers, making gestures.

At that point I just asked him, “Do you know anything else to say? Are you civilized?” and walked away because honestly, I didn’t want a scene outside my office.

What hurt me wasn’t the shouting.

It was the realization that no matter how much you try to integrate, contribute, respect the culture, or build a life somewhere, sometimes you’re still reduced to “that North Indian”.

Ironically, I currently hold an offer from a top company in Hyderabad with better pay, but I was genuinely conflicted because of how attached I had become to Bangalore, the work I do here which serves regualr people of our nation, and what this city had given me for all my past struggles.

A smaller incident happened around 1.5 years ago too, but I brushed it aside.

Today’s incident felt different.

Heartbreaking, honestly.

And I think I know what decision I have to make now.

Hey, tired of looking for a 1rk/1bhk under 7-8k in EC phase 2

Hi All, I am looking for a cheap Hotel/Hostel option for a single day stay, in Electronic City. Any suggestions ?

How's the gym? crowd? and what are the prices like? and is anyone selling their hawk membership? pls dm

Hey people I am tired of messy buy sell groups on the book of faces that don’t tell where the item is actually located. I made a group so we can save on Porter fees and buy and sell in our own area and also maybe people can find each other when they need a bit of help or can offer services for a bit of extra money

Who knows if it will go but I thought I’d try.

There is a format to follow to post and it’s on the group- I hope some people will join the group

Hello folks here at Electronic City,

Can you guys recommend any good place to have Butter Chicken with Naan a place that also doesn't feel heavy on my pocket. I am new here and currently living in Neeladri Nagar.

Looking to buy a flat in GM infinite techies town in Electronic city phase 1. Would love to get any input on the project. Read a few google reviews talking about hard water, electricity issues, etc. But many were a bit old. Are these issues still there?

Hi guys, I have 1.5 months left on my gym membership at the Workout Plus Fitness gym at Konappana Agrahara. Extremely comfortable and well maintained gym, with multiple trainers available at all times. Really grateful that this was my first gym, however I’m leaving the locality.

I purchased the 3-month plan for 4900 and started from April 13 (will use for 7 weeks) and would like to sell the remaining time from June 1-July 13 (6 weeks).

Selling for 2000, dm me.

Preferably near Infosys or in Neeladri Nagar. Single Sharing. Budget - Under 14k.
