Reached airport T1 to catch my flight to Delhi. I fly every 2 weeks and by now airport motion has become a routine. Usually it takes 20 minutes from digi yatra entry to self checkin kiosk to security check to boarding gate.

This morning it took twice that. The checkin counters on the left side when you enter have been closed so had to stand in the line at baggage drop counters. When I asked a security uncle about the self checkin they replied, people are getting firecrackers 🧨 and checking in and then it takes them a lot of time to call the passenger etc.

So they've closed the kiosks till Diwali. If you're flying out for festivals please keep this in mind and keep some buffer time with you.

I recently got admitted in Manipal Hospital Old HAL airport road for an elected leg implant removal surgery. I was given a broken bed. How fair is it to give an Orthopedic patient a broken bed when opted for a planned surgery?

I had to explain what I am going through in severe pain to minimum 20 staffs and still the issue wasn’t resolved. They kept transferring the issue to next person and I had to explain it to each and everybody there. I explained to everyone in tears yet nothing solved. They instead quietly came to get my sign on the bill paper that estimated is ₹1.7L but the bill will go upto ₹2.5L with zero facilities.
And when I refused to sign that consent form they replaced the broken bed after 70 HOURS of complaining.

On the morning of 25 Sept, I suffered acute chest pain and hypotension my BP dropping below 80. It took OVER 1 HOUR for any doctor to arrive. An ECG was done, but no doctor followed up to explain it.
My mother had to run around the hospital to find the duty doctor, because they were not there whole night.

After all this the junior doctor from the team came to dress my wound with a nurse and when I was crying in pain she screamed at me to stop it and was very rough in handling me.

But after everything I faced the bill kept inflating to around ₹2.33Lakhs with zero facility. They forced me to pay 2.08 lakhs other they said I will not get discharged from hospital. This is just the way of showing hooliganism on a bed ridden patient to extract money.

Is this the standard of healthcare in Bengaluru’s top private hospitals? Has anyone successfully gotten a refund from their management after escalation?

If anybody know any clean up drives for lakes, could you please notify them of panathur lake too.

I have friends of mine who crafted the idol using clay and used paint of basic features. Immersion of that idol is so much more safe and respectful to environment and idol itself. Can't the same be done for association's celebrations too!

Are people experiencing allergies or hay fever like symptoms in Bangalore this month?

I see more and more being brought down by allergies or breathing problems more frequently than ever before.

Any known cause of the rise in the symptoms?

I heard a loud BOOM across the entire apartment and the neighbourhood areas around 2 AM yesterday. I was looking through my balcony and saw that there was an accident involving 2 cars. People started crowding the area soon after.

15 minutes had passed
No ambulance, No police, yet people still continue to crowd. So naturally me and my friend went down to understand what was actually happening.

The driver, very badly injured , was lying on the floor (road), and his friends were panicking but aggressive? Since a good amount of time had passed, i immediately called the emergency number and was told that a police team had been ‘dispatched’.

Tick tock, ⏳. 25 minutes, nobody wants to move, nobody arrives, crowds still chilling, his friends are still aggressive. Finally after 30 minutes of the poor guys suffering, they get him on a cab and take him to the hospital.

I get a call 10 minutes after the dispatch message. They wanted to know if the people involved were still at the scene, i told them that they were about to leave. Case closed. No dispatch team. No ambulance, only a message that reads ‘Case closed’ , like the jira tickets that no one bats an eyelid to. 30-40 minutes had passed by this time.

Learnings:
The value of life in this country is trivial.
The value of life in Bangalore is set at a bar lower than trivial.
If there’s a situation god forbid where-in you have to rely on the general public to save you, Amen.

Edit: I agree with every single comment and point made in this thread and also sympathise with the people at the receiving end of this travesty of a system. For the location guessers, yes you got it right.

Hi, I was wondering if there are any local Dussehra melas near Bellandur? I am mostly looking forward to fun Columbus, giant wheel, etc. rides. These melas are key to a Dussehra experience, at least where I am from. I only see garba/dandiya events but not too keen on those.

Edit: I couldn't really find much online, which is why I am asking here 😬

Never seen one in Bangalore 🥹

Somebody removed the pedestrian crossing light in Kanakapura Main Road junction just to fit a political banner in the spot. The funny part it, a group of traffic police sit at this very spot and yet they allowed it to happen on such a busy road.

I (F) have an early morning flight of 6:15am and I don't want to travel at 3am in the morning for flight for safety issues, is it possible that if I arrive at the airport around 11/12am the previous night, they will give entry? As some say they might allow you to enter, others say that they won't allow. What is the actual scene.

Hi everyone,

Posting this to reach out to fellow flat buyers/allottees of The Poem By Shriram Properties, located in Shetti Halli.

The on-site construction has come to a standstill due to ongoing litigation involving the project. Over the past few weeks, a group of us have banded together, and we now have an active forum of 80+ verified buyers coordinating on next steps.

Why We Are Connecting

• Tracking Ongoing Litigation: Getting direct, verified updates from court and K-RERA filings rather than relying on delayed or contradictory statements from sales staff.
• Exploring Collective Legal Remedies: Assessing impleadment, representation through an advocate, and protecting allottee rights under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act.
• Forming a Recognized Association: Taking initial steps toward formalizing an Allottees Welfare Association to ensure our collective locus standi.

How to Connect

Because discussions involve sensitive legal strategy and unit details, we keep our main forum strictly restricted to genuine buyers (no brokers, agents, or unauthorized third parties).

Please do not send Reddit DMs/Chats (they frequently get missed or filtered).

Instead, send an email to:

thepoemallottee [at] gmail [dot] com

You will immediately receive our secure 2-minute verification form link to share basic booking details and be added to our coordinated WhatsApp forum.

If you know colleagues, friends, or family who have invested in this project, please share this post with them.

A moving, Toyota Taisor suddenly caught fire on Infantry Road, right in front of the Bengaluru Police Commissioner’s Office. The car seemed like a new one may be a year or 2 old.

People altered the driver after noticing smoke billowing out from the engine bay while the car was on the move. Luckily, driver managed to pull over and jump out completely unhurt before the front end was completely engulfed in flames. Locals and traffic police rushed to help, but the vehicle was severely gutted.

It’s terrifying to see this . Whether it’s an electrical short circuit, a component failure, or a freak technical issue, it's a sobering reminder that any car can experience a malfunction.

Jonty Rhodes was invited a guest at Cognizant india Bangalore Manyata office. When the host asked him about his favourite ipl team Jonty played safe even here and answered MS Dhoni and he loves india.

I was booking an auto today for my relatives to go to the bus stop and there were 2 of them with 2 small cabin luggage-esque suitcases, and 2 small hand bag sort of bags. 2 auto drivers back to back said that its extra for more than 1 suitcase. One said 100 rupees extra, the other said 70, and came down to 50. Apparently these are new rules? I've never faced this issue when using another app. Did I get scammed or is this a legit rule now? Also I live in whitefield area in a nice area, so is it that IT tactic of looting?

World class airport, yet people and their civic sense. Leaving trash behind. The trash bin was 20m away.

Hey guys, I missed my train today because of Bangalore’s pathetic roads and insane traffic due to the rains. 😭
And the worst part? This isn’t even the first time. I’ve missed 2 trains and 1 sleeper bus so far because of traffic.
It’s honestly frustrating to lose both your time and hard-earned money over something that’s completely out of your control.
For those of you who travel frequently from Bangalore, especially during peak hours or the rainy season:
Have you faced similar situations?
How early do you usually leave to catch a train or bus?
Have you found any reliable way to avoid this?
And how do you deal with the frustration of losing money on missed bookings?
Would love to hear your experiences. I just want to know I’m not the only one suffering because of Bangalore traffic. 🥲

Not found by me. Sharing on behalf of another

Any leads on who the owner might be would be greatly appreciated
