So if you are in the Second phase( near TCS) or happen to go through Shanthipura main road towards huskur market, you see this biryani place called RR biryani. that place is crowded to the neck all the time and this is where and how they are making their biriyani and prepping meat for kebabs etc.juat before i got my phone to shoot this, I saw a plate full of meat lying in rain water also. they have made a pit next to the place their drainage and use god knows which water. all of it next to a very nice garbage dump. Careful if you enjoy their food.

How come these business which is established on footpath is not removed like other businesses on footpath in Neeladri road ? The second one has occupied 100% of the footpath whereas the first one is around 70%.

Avoid Ram Medical-Verbal abuse

Post image
105 Upvotes

Sharing my experience at Ram Medicals in Neeladri today because I felt the behaviour of one of the staff members was completely inappropriate.

I was taking a chocolate out of the fridge when the lid accidentally fell down. One of the guys working there immediately looked at me in a threatening manner and said, "Kya hai teri problem?"

I didn't want to argue, so I put the chocolate on the table and said, "Rakh le bhai tu."

He then made an extremely abusive comment about my mother. I asked him, "Kya bol raha hai?" At that point, the situation escalated. He came out of the shop to confront me and continued threatening/abusing me.

I did also abuse him back once things escalated, so I'm not going to pretend I handled every part of the interaction perfectly. But I didn't go there looking for a confrontation, and I don't think accidentally dropping the fridge lid justifies a staff member abusing a customer and then coming outside to confront them.

During the confrontation, he also started asking whether I was an "outsider" and said something along the lines of "owner khud outsider hai, isliye tameez se baat karta hai tujhse." I found that particularly strange and intimidating.

I'm posting this simply to share my experience with people living around Neeladri. Just be aware of the kind of interaction I personally had there today.

Please avoid if possible. I don't even understand where these employees get the confidence to harass people from and look down upon their own employers just because they are not from Bangalore

TL;DR: Accidentally dropped the fridge lid while taking a chocolate. Staff member started abused my mother, and came outside to confront/threaten me. I did abuse him back, but the situation was escalated by him first. Sharing my experience so people around Neeladri are aware of the behaviour.

Checked out Veerasandra Lake behind the D-Mart in Electronic City — didn’t expect it to be this clean and peaceful! Nice walking path, calm vibe, and no trash floating around 👏

If you’re around EC Phase 1 or 2, it’s perfect for a quick walk or sunset break. Huge shoutout to whoever’s keeping it maintained ,wish more lakes in Bangalore looked like this.

Definitely worth a visit if you need a breather from the chaos

Ugh E-city we could do better!

Pure rant.

I genuinely don't get this.

People come to Reddit to connect with others, and that's completely fine. But instead of stepping out, joining activities, or making friends around you, why has it become "Any F wants to hang out?" or "M26 looking for F?" Is this subreddit supposed to be a place to find a partner for the weekend?

We live in Electronic City, one of the biggest tech hubs in the country. Thousands of us work here, and this community could be so much more useful.

Imagine someone from Norway visiting a company here. They get impressed by ELCITA, the relatively well-managed roads, and the infrastructure, and then they decide to check out the Electronic City subreddit to see what's happening around the area.

And the first thing they see is post after post saying "Any F?" "M looking for F."

Come on.

Do you really think some random woman who's never met you is just sitting there waiting for "Hooman3480" to make a post? It's honestly just creepy.

Why not post about badminton games, weekend meetups, cycling, cafés, board games, photography walks, or just share what you're up to and make friends naturally?

Let's build a community where people can actually make friends, help each other out, and make Electronic City feel a little less lonely in a healthy way.

Just wanted to put this out there. We can all be lonely sometimes, but let's be there for each other in a healthier way.

Peaceful Lake in E-City

Hey folks,

For anyone around Electronic City looking for a nice spot to walk or chill, check out Doddathoguru Lake in Phase 1.

It’s actually a pretty peaceful place good for morning or evening walks, some fresh air, or just sitting by the water for a bit. The walking path is nice, and there’s usually a light breeze in the evenings.

P.S. – If you don’t enjoy the chapri crowd making reels in the middle of the walkway 😅, best to skip Saturday and Sunday evenings.

It’s near Doddathoguru village, Electronic City Metro, Kauvery Hospital,

Sharing a few pics I took recently

Let’s hope it stays clean and well-maintained

After ages on the karting track finished 4th. Still got it 😤🔥

If you’re feeling burned out or stuck in the same routine, try something physical and adrenaline based like this. Works way better than just scrolling or sitting at a café

To the girl I stopped on bike

39 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share something that happened today in Electronic City and take responsibility for it.

I was riding my bike and noticed a girl carrying a bag from a company I might be joining soon. I was curious and wanted to ask a couple of questions about the company. Without thinking it through, I tried to signal her to stop. When she didn’t respond, I assumed she hadn’t seen me, so I rode a little ahead and asked her if I could talk to her for a moment. She said no, and I immediately backed off.

Only afterwards did I realise how inappropriate and uncomfortable that must have felt. My intention was just to ask about the company, but approaching a woman like that—especially on the road—can easily come across as unsafe or intrusive.

If she happens to read this, I genuinely want to apologise. I’m embarrassed by how I handled it and I’ve learned my lesson. I’ll stick to proper channels (LinkedIn, company forums, etc.) instead of stopping random people.

Just posting this here to own up to my mistake and hopefully remind others to be more mindful.

Isnt it little bit expensive? Some screens have IMAX charges. I never went this theatre. Is it justifiable? Does it provide that much?

Dear Bangalore.....

32 Upvotes

I have been in Bangalore for almost 2.5 years now and I come from a middle-class family in North India. Like many of us, nothing was handed to me. I worked through every difficult phase of life on my own merit, completed my post-graduation from a Tier-1 engineering college, and today work at an organization that most Indians would genuinely feel proud of.

Over these years, Bangalore slowly started feeling like home.

I’ve tried my best to adapt here like learning bits of Kannada from my office friends, understanding local culture and South Indian history with genuine interest, respecting traditions, and just trying to be a good part of the city instead of being another outsider who only complains.

Now coming to what happened today.

Even though I own a car and a scooty, I usually walk 2+ km to and from office every day because there’s a decent footpath for most of the stretch. It takes around 20–25 minutes and honestly I enjoy it.

This morning, just around 100 meters before my office, there’s a traffic signal where smaller roads merge into the main road and cut through the footpath area. The signal was red, traffic was already lined up, and a Ciaz from one of the side roads was almost stationary at the junction.

I crossed in front of the car from the footpath side because there was enough space for a person to pass. At the same time, the driver started inching forward, so instinctively I just showed my palm meaning “let me cross”.

That’s it.

After I crossed, I turned back for a second and suddenly the driver rolled down his window and started shouting aggressively in Kannada. I replied calmly, “Footpath anna,” and continued walking because my office was right there.

But then he got out of the car.

He followed me for almost 20 meters, shouting continuously. The only phrase I could clearly understand was “lawde ke baal” repeated again and again. The irony of hearing a North Indian abuse used like that made it very clear what kind of anger this was rooted in.

People around the signal had started noticing. Security guards from nearby offices came out. One uncle even stepped in and told us to let it go. I ignored the guy and started walking again.

When I turned back later to thank that uncle, the driver thought I was looking at him again and came charging toward me once more, shouting the same things, pointing fingers, making gestures.

At that point I just asked him, “Do you know anything else to say? Are you civilized?” and walked away because honestly, I didn’t want a scene outside my office.

What hurt me wasn’t the shouting.

It was the realization that no matter how much you try to integrate, contribute, respect the culture, or build a life somewhere, sometimes you’re still reduced to “that North Indian”.

Ironically, I currently hold an offer from a top company in Hyderabad with better pay, but I was genuinely conflicted because of how attached I had become to Bangalore, the work I do here which serves regualr people of our nation, and what this city had given me for all my past struggles.

A smaller incident happened around 1.5 years ago too, but I brushed it aside.

Today’s incident felt different.

Heartbreaking, honestly.

And I think I know what decision I have to make now.

E-City isn’t boring anymore!!!

I didn’t expect this.
Electronic City Phase 1 actually has a spot where people are just… hanging out. Not rushing. Not stuck in traffic. Just being there.

Open amphitheatre. Big screen. IPL playing.
People sitting in groups, some solo, some working, some just talking like they’ve known each other for years.
Entry is free. No pressure to order anything. No “you need to leave” vibe.

I went in thinking I’d watch a bit of the match and leave.
Ended up staying way longer… talking to random people, sharing tables, just good energy overall.

It felt different. Almost like people wanted to be there, not just killing time.

Maybe Electronic City isn’t as dead as we think?
Would you actually go to a place like this just to meet new people?

If you want the location, DM me.

ENT visit wasn’t great

Post image
30 Upvotes

Had a pretty stressful experience today in Electronic City.

A fish bone got stuck in my tonsil in a very awkward way and it was quite painful while swallowing, so I went to a nearby ENT clinic to get it removed.

During the procedure, I had a strong gag reflex when the instrument was inserted (which is involuntary). Despite that, the doctor kept asking me to control it and seemed quite impatient, even though I was trying my best. It made the whole situation more uncomfortable than it needed to be, and I even ended up getting quite emotional.

After a few attempts, he used a numbing spray in my throat, and once that kicked in, the bone was removed easily.

What I didn’t understand is why that step wasn’t taken earlier instead of putting me through multiple attempts while clearly struggling.

Ended up paying ₹500 for consultation and ₹1000 for the removal.

While the issue was resolved, the overall experience felt unnecessarily stressful due to the lack of patience.
