Is Bangalore a city? This is an open question to all of us. Do you feel like you are in a city?
Things that put the "scoff" in Bangalore city,
1. No rapid transport system. It takes 45 mins to journey from Andheri to Churchgate, a distance of 20+ kms. It takes a bloody hour to reach Majestic from outer ring road, a distance of between 8-12 kms.
2. Pray that our Chief Minister is able to source and buy power for us. We have daily power outages for 2 hours plus.
3. We have water shortages in a place where it rains every other month and then some.
4. We don't have a night life. Bars and restaurants close by 11.30. If you still want to hang out late night beware of "nakabandi".
5. Dancing is not allowed. There are no discotheques.
6. You cant find a cheap hotel in the city around Rs. 500/-. Yes, there are a couple but thats' only in Shivaji Nagar.
7. If you are waiting for a bus after 9.30. Prepare for a frustrating 2 hour wait and journey back home. Finding buses at that "late an hour" is difficult.
8. If you are relying on returning by auto after 9.30, get ready to be fucked by CITU card carrying autowallas.
9. Bangalore is a pricey. Most other cities are pricey only when in comes to accommodation. Bangalore is pricey in terms of food, shelter and travel. I have traveled by auto, suburban train and auto again to reach home in Mumbai for less than Rs.30 at 1 am.
10. One of the reasons for the higher price is cost of fuel. We pay more for our fuel then any other city in India.
Is Bangalore is city? Based on population size, may be. But it is a dumb idea to put so many people in place which is not geared to meet their needs.
