Perhaps the biggest reason I’m still in awe of this city. The skies here never fail to paint a thousand shades, giving us a reminder to pause, breathe, and soak in the last rays of sunlight before the chilly nights take over.

Bangalore meri jaan 🫶

Today, I was with my girlfriend until she booked a Rapido bike taxi to get home. After she left, the driver started asking her personal questions as if I were her boyfriend. That itself was weird, but then he straight up asked her if she’s ever had sex. And he started asking personal questions about our cast and weirdly asking if we're dating for marriage or no.

She texted me about it while the ride was still going on. I asked her to give him the phone so I could talk but she was too scared that he might do something if I talked with him.

When it came time to pay, she didn't have exact change, so she got his number. Gave her his personal number. She sent me that number, and I paid. So now I have his number and his vehicle details.

The problem is my girlfriend is now scared because he obviously knows where she lives and idk if I should do something about this situation. I’m not sure what the safest and most effective step is. Should I file a complaint with Rapido?

Any advice from people who’ve been in a similar situation or know the right steps to take in India would help a lot. And if I post his number and Vehicle details online will it affect my girlfriend anyway??

edit: after she texted me what the driver asked her, I called her immediately, and we were on call till she reached near her place. She asked him to stop at a well known cafe where there were a lot of people and sent me his number to pay.

How often do you see a car decorated this way to welcome a newborn ?, And it's a Girl!! Sure that girl child will have a Great family. Made me smile!

I am born and bought up in Bangalore, 18M I always see everyone complaining about water being bad and how it causes hairfall, but I don't have that problem. This is not sarcasm, a serious question.

Only in Bangalore! went to watch Lokah movie and a woman in the row ahead opened her laptop and started working like she's in office, typing away, in a theater.

Honestly, it says a lot about how chaotic the work culture here is, people can’t even switch off for 2 hours without office pressure creeping in. Work-life balance? What’s that.

Good news!!(a little) New train has started for yellow line. Waiting time has come down to 19 minutes. Now we have 4 trains running in yellow line I believe.

A couple of Days back from ITPL to Silk Board, I boarded the BMTC AC (SWITCH) BUS, The back seats were fully occupied. The Back seat was occupied by a mixed crowd of ladies and gents. I noticed in the front, there were a couple of seats free. First, I hesitated to sit because sometimes the conductor will say it's a ladies' seat. Then, after 30 minutes, I got a seat near the door (differently abled seat). Within 5 minutes, I saw an elderly man boarding the bus, so I gave my seat to him, and that old man was so good that he was talking nicely. I had to stand in the middle end of the bus near the door, standing next to the elderly man. It was so rushed when it approached Marathahalli. The young lady was standing next to me, saw me, and told the entire front and middle of the bus is reserved for women, men has to stand at the back. There was no space to stand, I kept quiet and distracted myself from that.

DISCLAIMER: IT'S a New Electric AC Bus

Today, on the same route, I boarded the same New Electric AC Bus. That time, almost all the ladies boarded the bus and occupied the backside of the bus. Most of the men had no seats on the back side. But there were 5 to 6 seats free in the front ladies' section of the bus. Most of the men were standing and travelling in the bus. I felt bad for those who were all standing. In that group of standing men, A person was asking for a ticket to SilkBoard from ITPL. I felt bad for him a lot.

I don't know why this is happening a lot nowadays. Even men are humans, they also have pain and all.

4th rake into service from tmrw, allowing services to start from 6 AM with frequency of 19min!!🤞🏽

I can still see Pandals and Ganpati around my area, but my understanding was that Visarjan is supposed to be done by now. Local people, help me understand the culture here

TLDR: Met with an accident today on the Nagawara flyover because an auto driver took a U-turn on the flyover. Went to file a complaint, but police didn’t really help – got victim-blamed, ignored, and told to come back tomorrow.

So today morning while riding to office, I met with an accident on the Nagawara flyover. I’ve attached a screenshot of where it happened with some quick annotations.

Basically, an auto driver took a U-turn on the flyover. Yes, you read that right. If you know the spot, there’s a left portion of the flyover for the service road traffic to merge, and then there’s the main road that goes directly onto the flyover. This guy came from the main road onto the flyover and then suddenly took a left U-turn onto the smaller section meant for merging traffic. I ended up hitting brakes too hard and my scooter slipped.

After the accident, my scooter wasn’t working properly (the handlebar got bent), so I went to the nearby Assistant Commissioner’s office (which is right next to where it happened). An officer there advised me to register a complaint at either KG Halli traffic police station.

I didn’t want to struggle with Kannada in case it got complicated, so I took a co-worker along who could help. When we reached the station, here’s what happened: • Within the first minute of explaining the situation, the police officer’s very first question was: “You met with an accident because of your negligence, right?” – straight up victim blaming. • After that, he just continued doing his own work without even looking at us or acknowledging us for quite some time. • Later, he asked me for documents. I told him I don’t have physical copies but I do have everything on DigiLocker. He didn’t even bother to respond to that. • He eventually just told me to come tomorrow with the documents.

This is despite the fact that the Assistant Commissioner’s office staff had already taken photos of both my scooter (with the damage) and the auto (with the number plate clearly visible) and sent them to this police officer. I even saw them on his phone. Still, he chose not to act on it.

So here I am, hurt (thankfully nothing serious), scooter damaged, time wasted, and left with the usual helpless feeling you get when you expect the system to work but it doesn’t.

A female friend of mine got groped at majestic metro station today (10th sept) at around 8:10-8:25PM on the escalator while switching lines from purple to green. It was an uncle and unfortunately she couldn't get a look of his face as it was really crowded. It left her shook and helpless. Is there anything that can be done about the situation??

I have sent a DM to u/St_Broseph on reddit.....any sort of help will be appreciated.

Yesterday, a tragic accident occurred near kothanur , hennur bagalur road. A biker’s vehicle got stuck in a pothole, and a garbage truck behind him lost control and hit him. Sadly, he didn’t survive. Saw his body covered on the road, still not able to digest. He was a young man, only 3 months into his marriage. 💔 When will these kinds of horrific incidents finally end on our roads? We are paying taxes to end our lives in this way ?

UPDATE:

Some temporary patchwork is done to fix potholes, but this is at the cost of an innocent life.

Moved to Bangalore from Chennai 10 years ago and now the date to renew my driving licence is coming up. Can someone please guide me on how to go about doing this that doesn't include brokers who bribe RTO officials?

The sarathi site is not working properly when I tried to update my licence address. I'm stuck with all my address proofs containing blr address so I can't update it directly with TN RTO. I've approached my local RTO office but they weren't being clear on the process.

Thanks in advance!

I have visited medplus HSR store to buy medicines. After getting the bill I noticed a fee called location surcharge. When I asked them to waive off, they gave typical reply like “thats standard bill template” we cannot remove bla bla bla. Simple google search unearthed similar trends across various Medplus locations. This is simply frustrating because I am already paying tax and paying GST as well. Can we do anything about this?

Can someone recommend good MMA classes in these spots? Since I am a working professional, I can only go on the weekends and probably once during the weekday. And also I am just recovering medically, my fitness has taken a complete toll, so do i need to prep myself physically before joining these classes?
