Leaving the canopy of our home and
setting sail off to some far away land is never easy. We fight with memories, we
battle xenophobia, we combat our tear glands, our hands shake to cut the
umbilical cord, and we struggle with every inch of our soul. But life, like
they say, goes on. We do win over our insecurities and set foot on a journey to
a new place where we meet new people and make new memories. Slowly and steadily
the new place grows into us. We fall for it. We make it our second home because
it embraces us with tender care and embalms our reluctance to end the war
wedged within ourselves. Like Bangalore did to me.
Here are ten reasons why anybody would
fall for Bangalore.
The
seasons and the sun:
Like wise men say, “Weather is
unpredictable. You can never be sure of it.” But I am sure you most definitely
would fall in love with the Bangalore weather. If you ask me to describe it in
a word I would fetch ‘addictive’ from my bag of smart words. It is always
autumn in Bangalore. As a citizen of a tropical country that would most
definitely sound fetching to you, wouldn’t it?

Coming
Clean:
Well being one of the cleanest and
greenest India cities definitely helps the cause of making Bangalore your
second home. According to reports, Bangalore off late has been suffering a lot
in this end with sky-scarpers and industries changing the equation in rapid
progression, however you cannot take the glory away completely yet. With
particulate matter count less than any other metropolitan city it is still good
to go.

Foster
the people:
Bangalore like any other metropolitan
city is everyone’s and no one’s city just at the same time. But what makes it
sweeter are the localites. Bangaloreans are hustle-free (except for the few
shrewd landlords and their female counterparts who would knock you off your
senses), easy going and lovable. They aren’t fiercely competitive and have a
very disarming laid-back attitude towards life which would make you like them
instantly.
Their innocence and charm would never go
unnoticed. The roads in Bangalore may have holes but Bangaloreans have a
wholesome heart.

I
am sensing the location:
With Maharashtra, Goa, Andhra Pradesh,
Kerala and Chennai located in close proximity Bangalore is a traveler’s
paradise. With KSRTC plying in every possible route and keeping itself abreast
of modern technologies you could be anywhere during weekends. In Bangalore, you
would never feel stuck no matter how deep a hole you have dug for yourself
otherwise.

Taking
all of my Energy:
Bangalore is bustling with energy and it
isn’t hard to guess the ‘why’. With educated Indian youth driven by career
opportunities migrating to Bangalore from all over, Bangalore is all set to become
the youngest city in the country. So if you are single and the thirty TNT is
hovering over your head ready to blow off anytime you better start your journey
of discovery and adventure by moving your lazy ass (and your baggage) to this
youthful city. You might not fall in love with the city but your chances of
falling in love with someone in this city is rather high.

Land
of opportunity:
And, statistics would nod its head. Besides
being the IT Hub that it is, Bangalore houses 885 colleges (highest in India as
of Nov, 2013) and a plethora of prestigious higher education institutes and
research labs. Oh! You can choose to hate Bangalore but you definitely cannot
ignore it.

All
I want is Something New:
If you have a penchant for being your
own boss you definitely would choose Bangalore over any other city in India.
With its startup ecosystem ranked among the top 20 in the world and with a
glorious history like Flipkart, Make my Trip, Tally, India hikes to boast of, it
definitely has a lot to offer to the hot-blooded entrepreneurs who can “Make
India”.

Food,
Glorious Food:
Bangalore isn’t the restaurant capital
of India yet but it isn’t far behind. According to mathematical figures, a new
eatery comes up every other day in Bangalore. You have the luxurious of
restaurants together with budget friendly ones existing in perfect harmony. You
have the illustrious chains and the experimental ones fitted in unimpeachable
order. And nobody is complaining. When you are spoilt for choice you really
cannot, can you?

Passion
Pit:
Bangalore is a city where passion is
given that much-needed second chance. Bangalore has an answer for all kinds of
enthusiasts. It is a Mecca for trekkers, cyclists, footballers, swimmers, athletes,
potters, painters and you can go on. If you aren’t a foodie this would
definitely trap you to fall in love with the garden city.

Drunk
out loud, Safe & Sound:
Bangalore sleeps early but it gets drunk
before going to bed. With a whole range of pubs and bars to choose from and
cheap alcohol at hand you have no much option, do you? And what comes handy is
Bangalore’s safety quotient. According to a
recent survey, it is the third safest city in the country (yes, one place above
Mumbai) and you cannot deny the intoxication hidden in the edgy cocktail I just
threw at you. Drunk and safe definitely makes a heady concoction.
Aren’t you drunk already?
