Bang Bang Bangalore!!!


I live in Bangalore and it simply means I get to meet lot of new people in the city  who flock from different parts of the country.
Its a nice cosmo culture unlike how it was 10 yrs back. Bangalore has been known for good education, weather, medical field, greenery,Research, art and science, Music and many more fields for ages now. The only recent tagging for this city is the IT boom. Its called the silicon valley, Pub Capital of the country , Garden city and once a Pensioner's paradise.

Its good to see a place grow and become world reckoned for all good reasons. This is one such lovely place where anyone would love to happily and easily settle down.
The people are quite accomodative and that speaks in itself about the place. If anyone from any part of the country can come and feel at home and settle down without much hassles then it speaks a lot in itself about the place.

I have lived in Bangalore since my birth and I have been witnessing the changes since then. Though the recent changes seems to be too much to handle for the city. Heavy traffic due to unforseen growth has taken a toll on the city. The floating population has increased tremendously. But it all of our duty to make a better place to live in. Being such an amazing home to lakhs of people, All you hear people around coomenting is.. Bangalore has bad roads.. Bangalore has bad traffic.. Bangalore has bad service.. Bangalore has bad autowalas.. Bangalore this.. Bangalore that..

The so called educated lot complain about a place so much that it becomes intolerable at times.
When you have any problem either try to solve it, change the system, adjust to the system or at the max SHUT UP! People who keep complaining and cribbing do nothing at all.. literally nothing. They come from whichever nook and corner of the country, from small towns to villages or from a better place than Bangalore. But isn't it our duty to give life to the place we live in? Do we show any gratitude for what the place offers to us?

I have seen all the metros and nice cities of India and always been quite sure that Bangalore is definitely a lovely place incomparable to other cities.
People complain about every damn thing right from autowalas to sabzi walas to the quality of corainder leaves to driving sense of people. Trust me the Bangalore autowalas and maids are much sophisticated and well behaved than most so called educated lot. Complaints against Autorickshaw is 1023 compared to the 2345 similar complaints in Mumbai. They talk many languages than the cribbing lot do and behave much classier at times. They help people who need any guidance on road. Its We who involve the low earning people into habits of extracting more money and later complain about the same. And the low earning jobs in the city now is done by people mostly from other states. The place gives a chance for everyone to survive by doing a cook's job or a maid, A pani puri stall, a construction worker or a Panwala.
Can we appreciate it?

The bottomline being, We are here only because we want a good place to stay, a good job or a good education. Does it matter to people at all if the place is doing good or bad or worse. Do we bother to put any effort to make it better?? Time to think Educated guys!

And if you expect Bangalore to be an amazing Metro or you want it to be Newyork, Each of us have to work for it and towards its betterment and bloody not sit and complain. Any place for that matter can be better only because of its people. Mumbai being such an amazing place gives its entire credit to the people .
Bangalore is a beautiful place still and it lets people be what they are and who they are. This is the greatest credit to the place because I dont see any other so called metro being so accomodative to diverse people (except Mumbai). They try to mend you into their local culture and behaviour. Bangalore is a place where people live for 10+ yrs and dont need to bother learning local language or be a part of any local culture. I have not been biased because I belong to this place. Anywhere we live we can belong to that place if only we show some love and concern to the place and put efforts to make it all ours

Finally, facts being facts, Bangalore is much better in ways of being a big city, beautiful city, green city, Lovely
weather, accomodative people and trust me less on cheating compared to so many other cities of the country!

Only the ones who crib and complain less, can appreciate anything around them! Time to grow up and add some value to the society we live in!
