Bangalore - A heaven to be in

Being in Bangalore for more than a year, I thought it would be worth mentioning about this beautiful place as to what I have seen. After many hiatus, finally some time for blogging and I pen down about Bangalore. I had been to Bangalore when I was doing my third year for a 3 day trip but drastic changes had happened since then(yup, 3 day is too small a time to judge about a place, still…) . I wanted to work in Bangalore.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) I was placed in a company which has its abode in Bangalore. Below are the reasons I feel why it is a heaven to be in Bangalore.

Awesome Climate: When one talks about Bangalore, the first thing that strikes their mind is its ‘Awesome’ climate. It has got a pleasant atmosphere throughout the year. The Sun doesn’t make our body sweat, Rain doesn’t splash throughout the day, Chillness doesn’t make the body numb or freeze; Overall it has got an infallible climate.

Global City: One more interesting asset that Bangalore has got to its credit is its Global Nature. Being India’s major IT hub, you can find plethora of people who differ in region, language, culture and so on. It makes me really think I am living in a nation of diversified culture (never before).

No communication problem: For most of the people who move to other states, their major concern is the language. But Bangaloreans I guess would have never faced this problem be it they are from Tamil Nadu or kerala or AP or northern states. Most of the people here know English or Hindi. I never thought of learning Kannada because I rarely find people talking in Kannada. Even if you find people know only Kannada, put a ‘maadi’ behind every tamil word you speak. Easy maadi..

Huge Job opportunities: Being the IT hub, there are loads of job opportunities in Bangalore. There are many Tech parks like EGL(where my office is located), ITPL, Bagmane Tech Park etc. which is the store house of all smart brains. Even If people are fed up with their job they can easily find another in Bangalore.

Recreation: No one would say I am bored on a weekend in Bangalore. There are so many malls and food restaurants to eat your time in a memorable way. It’s also a spiritual place featuring famous Infant Jesus Shrine, ISKON Temple to find some peace of mind.

Though all the above will make people say a big WOW to Bangalore, there are on the other sides ‘The worst’ traffic jam (Metro OTW to prevent this hassle, but at a dead slow pace), pollution, high cost of living, double metered Auto Rickshaw(frequently), high bus fare which make people say ‘YUK’. And I seriously doubt if Bangalore can anymore be called as ‘the Garden city of India’ as most of the trees have been cut for Metro project, though the officials promised of planting saplings.

When I call my friends or meet my friends who are in Chennai, the first thing they say is I am very lucky to be in Bangalore. I had been to Chennai some 5 times in the past one year, and every time I brought back some illness with me(Except for the climate, Chennai is good). I love Bangalore. I am happy to be here. It allays all my needs of a good living. Bangaloreans, Enjoy maadi..
