Well if bangalore is MG road, Richmond road, Lalbaug, then I love it. If bangalore is marathalli, BTM, JP Nagar, then would love to stay away from it.
I cannot compare it to new bombay which has developed at the same time. All I can compare it to is Dombivilli or kalyan. What say mumbaikars in Bangalore.
And the weather here is outstanding. Government here could have converted this to the best place in India, but now the damage seems to have been done.

bangalore was noticed by people 2002 onwards. before that it was cheaper with less than rs2000/sqft except mgroad and other prime areas. It is wrong to compare delhi, mumbai with Blore. Lot of money is spent on infrastructure for mumbai and delhi right from 60s and 70s. If you put a graph with time on one axis and growth influencing factors and money spent on other axis, Blore and Hydbad are lot better relatively. Delhi and(or atleast) Mumbai should have had much better infrasturcture by now. BTW never compare any part of Blore/Hydbad to Dombivily/Kalyan. You find stylish good English speaking people from any suburbs of Blore/Hydbad.

I can understand ur a.. is burning because only 30-40% of the people in Bangalore are Kannada speaking. And dont feel so proud about bangalore , as most of the high net worth individuals are non kannadigas, and the localites are mostly working in govt jobs. I have worked in Bangalore, Chennai, Calcutta, Mumbai and Delhi, and have found the localites one of the laziest probabably slightly better than the Calcuttans. Atleast the calcuttans i found have some brain but always use them only for negative things. The localites only walk into office by 10:30 to 11 and most of the city wakes up by that time. Just that the city has been lucky because of the weather and greenery or else there is far superior man power available in many other cities. I will get abused for this but i dont care....guys pls go ahead....i have just spoken the truth....and i wont reply to any of ur abuse....unless u want to argue with me logically.

This fellow Vox populi is pathetic, he is speaking as if no Kannadiga ever goes out and works in any other city. And according to him if that kannadiga questions the infrastructure and facilities of the state even he should be asked to pack his bag and go back to Karnataka. U r telling that others have their brains in their knees, but u have it a couple of feet above it, u know what i mean.

As an outsider setteled in Bangalore, I would say this is one of the best city & most adjustive natured people. The Kannadigas are very soft natured. I am in Bangalore since last 15 years & married to a Kanndiga girl, I never had a heated exchange of words with anyone! I love these people & their culture.
Kudos to Kannadigas. Thank you for making me to say Bangalore as mu 'Matrubhoomi' though I am not born in Karnataka.

RE:RE:One of the best city...

You feel you are an outsider because you do not want to respect local people & their customs. Why don't you pickup a few kannada words & make a few local friends instead isolating youself with your state / region people. I have lived in many parts of India & also abroad. The first thing I do is to make a few local friends & explore the society. See what is happening in Malaysia where some Indians are not willing to respect local customs.

I was in Delhi last week and Delhi has come up very well ... the reason .... because it has its own state govt. But other metros (inspite odf people living here paying huge taxes) has pathetic infrastructure ... the reason ... the rural development has to happen in their states otherwise they lose the elections for trying to develop the metro. So if all the metros has their own state govt then people living in metros will get the value for the tax money. The central govt can concentrate on the development of the rural India. Hope I have a point here ...

Sachin & guys with similar thoughts:-
No city has been discussed so much on rediff as much as Bangalore has....it seems to be the city most talked about. It signals the importance that Bangalore has on the global scheme of things. Bangalore has pathetic infrastructure & was more known for science, management, R&D & defence establishments...until the service sector boomed & we had a huge influx of people. The local govt could not envisage the strain on the infrastructure & could not develop it to suit. That's the reason we are all struggling to cope with our daily commute. Now, for a comparison, letz talk about Delhi, from Delhi Airport to Saket is about 10 km, it took me a hour & half to reach, why bcos of traffic & to think that Delhi has such wide roads...similar situation in Mumbai where it took me about 2 hours to travel a distance of 10 km & that too at 11:00 PM....but hey, you guys presumably enjoy the traffic of Mumbai & Delhi, but leave no stone unturned to resort to slinging mud at the very mention of Bangalore. Come on guys, grow up, if you guys are here on work, enjoy the local culture & blend in. Stop cribbing for problems, every city has it's share of problems so letz all grow out of a regional mindset & develop a national mindset.

well i mean the only boom that I cd hear in bangalore was from the posteriors of heavy dark damsels in jeans or slacks which made them look as if shakila(the kerala version) was poured in clothes made for carol gracias(the skinny model), I mean I am yet to hear a boom different from that which results due to a combustible mixture of vada pav with coke in the bellies of these damsels and the gaseous results of which they then dispense with such abandon in almost all the shopping malls and through the entire length of brigade road.

Good wordplay ashish, but not justified.
As for explosions, that was probably the BTS bus crashing into another pot hole on Richmond Road.In my experience, the women are pretty and adventurous. In my opinion, the reason why Bangalore is both fab and flop is simply the casual "swalpa adjust maadi" nature of the people. Deepak
Our Bengaluru is the best city in India... No other Indian city has ever got the name in world map this much... India is shining only bcos of Bangalore... Keep rocking...
