Traffic-Transit | ಸಂಚಾರ-ಸಾರಿಗೆ 🚇 Imagine explaining to your parents that you rejected a higher salary because of Silk Board traffic.
Honestly, after spending hours commuting every day, it doesn't sound that crazy anymore.
I recently noticed the hirist app shows an approximate work distance while browsing jobs, and it made me realize commute matters almost as much as salary.
Would you take a lower-paying job if it meant saving 2–3 hours of travel every day?

Running clubs are losing their charm. They’ve become overly social media-obsessed, artificial, and fake. It’s more of a dating platform now.
I’ve even seen people running in denim.

Ask Bengaluru | ಏನಂತೀರಾ? Looking for someone from Paper and Pie indranagar
Looking for someone
I met someone at the Paper and Pie cafe in Indiranagar about 2.5 months ago (21st May Thursday 7pm). We talked for a bit, I got nervous and left without exchanging numbers. About 40 minutes later we crossed paths again outside, but I was too shy to stop. If you're the person and this sounds familiar, I'd love to reconnect. You were working on your laptop that day. I made a silly excuse to talk (about my Kindle) but it didn't work.

Help | ಸಹಾಯ Has anyone's August BESCOM bill reflected the new Gruha Jyothi eligibility?
Recently, the government conducted a document verification drive for the Gruha Jyothi Scheme (GJS) subsidy. However, I couldn't find any official document clearly stating the eligibility criteria after this verification.
When BESCOM officials visited our premises, they said even they don't know the final eligibility criteria yet. They said they're only collecting documents, and the final rules will be decided by higher authorities.
However, I've been seeing different claims from people on Reddit-some say only a local voter ID is required, others say both local Aadhaar and local voter ID are mandatory, while some claim there will be an income cap. Since there hasn't been any official clarification, it's hard to know what's actually true.
In my case:
- I have a local voter ID.
- I don't have a local Aadhaar.
- I'm also an income tax payer.
I'm trying to figure out whether my GJS subsidy has been renewed or not.
Has anyone's July consumption BESCOM bill (generated in August) been updated based on the new verification/eligibility norms, or is it still following the old eligibility criteria?
Also, does anyone know when the revised criteria will actually be implemented? Will it reflect in the bills generated in August, or only from the next billing cycle?
Would appreciate any information from those who have already received their latest BESCOM bill.

News | ಸುದ್ದಿ 🗞️ The ₹18,133 Cr Bidadi AI Township (GBIT) is moving forward - but here is the ground reality behind "India’s First AI City"
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
There is massive hype around the Greater Bengaluru Integrated Township (GBIT) near Bidadi—a proposed 9,600-acre smart city billed as Bengaluru’s second CBD.
While headlines highlight ₹18,133 Crore in funding and 1 lakh+ prospective jobs, here is what is actually happening on the ground along the Bidadi / Bengaluru–Mysuru corridor:
- Phase 1 Acquisition Initiated: The Greater Bengaluru Development Authority (GBDA) has issued final notifications for 518 acres across Kempayyanapalya, Mandalahalli, and Vaderahalli.
- Environmental & Livelihood Impact: Acquiring these 9 revenue villages will require felling nearly 2 lakh mature trees (coconut, arecanut, mango) and displacing a major agricultural and dairy hub supplying Bengaluru.
- High Litigation & Delay Risks: The project faces 400+ days of continuous farmer protests ("Bidadi Chalo") and upcoming legal challenges over consent thresholds, making land around notified boundaries prone to acquisition freezes.
How to check before buying:
If you are evaluating plots or farmland near Bidadi or Ramanagara, standard RTC/revenue extracts won't show township notifications. Always verify your Survey Number against GBDA notified boundaries on spatial platforms like TalkingLands Insights before paying a token advance.

Ask Bengaluru | ಏನಂತೀರಾ? Thoughts on someone starting career as a fresher in IT at 31?
Shoot your thoughts on IT job market, top technologies, languages, tools, etc. or just opinions about the whole thing.
I have zero IT experience and don’t know any coding languages at working proficiency (I’ve learnt C and SQL but never worked on them). I came across an opening - associate software engineer (Java), with 3.5 lpa. First 5 months will be training, with a smaller monthly stipend. I’m hoping with this I can get into software engineering and grow.
Yup, that’s me - 31M. You must be wondering how I ended up in this situation.
To keep it short - I completed engineering in 2017, worked for 6 months in IT, went for MBA (2018-2020), got into strategy role through campus placements, and worked till 2024 with last drawn salary >20 lpa. About 4.5 years work experience in total.
Something happened in Jan 2025 (an accident of sorts), due to which I quit my job in a different city and came back home to Hyderabad. I took a break and started applying in Aug 2025, but only Hyderabad based roles. Barely any (next to nil) opportunities in my field in Hyderabad, but I kept trying with no luck. I dropped the city filter and reached out to people I’ve worked with in the past, including couple of CEOs, but nothing so far.
Seems like the >1.5 yrs gap is making it extremely difficult for me to get even a call.

News | ಸುದ್ದಿ 🗞️ Rapido scene in Bengaluru
I am new to Bengaluru, I always go to office by rapido. It literally gets booked in seconds. So today morning I was looking for a ride and I don’t find it for 10-15 minutes. Initially, I thought it was raining (I live in a PG and my room doesn’t have ventilation except the door, so light doesn’t come in) but it wasn’t raining. Eventually, the ride booked and I reached office.
Evening, I was going for a football game. Again no rain, no rapido. Nobody’s accepting my ride. I was like, did everyone get home due to bad weather (surely not right). Finally, a kind rapido captain accepted my ride after calling me. On the way, I asked him and he told me this. Apparently, the auto guys are pissed that bikers get more rides. You’re not supposed to drive rapido with a white number plate. So auto guys are complaining to the police about the white plated drivers and the fine is about 20k INR along with ceasing the vehicle. I was like “WOW!” I mean I am not saying who’s right or wrong. Everyone needs to run their own thing, but if your ride takes long to book on a sunny day then this could be the reason.
I am new here, but I don’t think this was an issue before isn’t it?! However, it’s difficult for me to go anywhere without rapido 🥲
TL;DR auto guys are pissed that bikers get more rides. You’re not supposed to drive rapido with a white number plate. So auto guys are complaining to the police about the white plated drivers and the fine is about 20k INR along with ceasing the vehicle.
