What is your favorite place to go in your city?

View all responses

Honestly, just being in my beloved city is a joy in itself. While there are many wonderful places around, for me, simply being in Bengaluru feels complete. It’s not just a city—it’s home. It’s a feeling.

This city isn’t just where I live—it’s where I’ve grown. My childhood memories echo through its streets. My education, my career, my home—all of it is rooted here. Bengaluru has been the backdrop to every chapter of my life. And even when life pulled me away, I always found my way back. That says something, doesn’t it?

There’s a quiet joy in walking familiar lanes, hearing the hum of Kannada mixed with a dozen other tongues, and watching the city evolve—sometimes gracefully, sometimes not Yes, it’s changed. The trees are fewer, the traffic heavier, the infrastructure struggling to keep pace. The cost of living climbs, and the charm of old Bengaluru feels like it’s slipping through our fingers.

But even with all that, I feel content. Because this city holds my story. It’s where I belong.
Bengaluru may not be perfect, but it’s mine. And that makes all the difference.

Have you ever been to Bengaluru? What was your experience like?
