Namma Bengalooru!!

Me just feel these are some typical traits of a bangalorean. Whatever is stated here, may not be true in reality - discretion to be excercised.


- Anyone from bangalore will know atleast more than 3 languagues - English (default), Hindi (all due to bollywood) and their mother tounge. Apart from this, whenever the situation demands bangaloreans try to speak other languages in bits and pieces - especially when travelling by Autorickshaw to direct the driver OR when someone asks for directions

- Bangaloreans pretty much compulsorily watch Hindi movies - all credit to bollywood

- Most bangaloreans avoid speaking in Kannada, even if they know it

- Pretty frequently eat out - at darshini, buffets, hotels & restaurants

- Quite a large section of the male population drink alcohol at regular intervals

- You can find a wine store or pub or bar pretty much within every 100 to 200 metres

- Majority of the auto wallas will try to cheat you. However, at times you will find
very very honest guys who will return your belongings if you forget to collect them while alighting the rickshaw

- Every family in bangalore has atleast 1 two wheeler

- Every bangalorean loves the pleasant weather of bangalore and will try this best not to move out of bangalore

- Every bangalorean hates the traffic and traffic sense in the city, but will try to ensure that they cut all corners when they are riding

- Majority of North Indians (immigrants to b'lore) will hardly ever try to learn the local language, except for businessmen!

- Though bangalore's cost of living is cheaper when compared to metros in India,
everyone just feels that this city's cost of living is high.

- Most bangaloreans work in the service industry - a high number in comfortable govt jobs, IT companies, BPOs, call centres and exception being textiles

- In the high income to rich group/class, in a vast majority of families the son or daughter would be settled in the US of A and ageing parents are left behing in the city

- Though the city's public transport system is much better than that of most other Indian cities, hardly anyone agrees to the same

- Majority of the bangaloreans are immigrants!!
