3 reasons why Bangalore works for me!!

Hello Everyone!! First, let's see this write-up as my return to Blogging that too for my owns good. Okay, enough of greetings. Let's walk the talk now!

There could be many reasons behind anything which work and do not work for people. But as per my experiences there are always finite reasons why something works or does not work and since I am pro-working, I will talk about 3 reason why Bangalore works for me...!!

#1 Weather:

Not without any reason Bangalore is known as a 'Garden City of India'. However, with ever growing infrastructural demands and population, taking a toll on quality of life,  the city is still holding up quite good in weather conditions. One of the rare cities in India (honestly I do not know about others) where the temperature has perfect blend between hot and cold.

My origin is in North India, where summer and winter both are extremes. One always struggle to find the balance when temperature varies either way! Anyways, this blog is not about North India or life therein. This is about 'Namma Bengaluru'. So talking about weather, I really like being here, the conditions are just about there for work and play. 

The mornings, the days, the evenings and the nights, keep you calm here, barring for some odd days when you wonder how come, Bangalore's weather is completely opposite to the rest of India!!

#2 Work Culture:

For working professional like me, this city is close to a heaven. Nothing beats Bangalore when it comes to work ethics and a platform to excel. 

Its at one's own discretion to identify and once presented, seize the opportunity, which are huge in numbers. For its freedom at work place to equality in treatment, for its recognition of work to identifying your as Resource-cum-Asset to the organization, Bangalore works, for me at least!!

#3 City Culture:

City Culture? We don't talk about it more often in India? But believe me, it matters, specially when you have traveled to different places in India and have witnessed some of the areas closely, like I have. 

Without any second thought, Bangalore is Glocal city of India. Bangalore is western in its approach yet local and Indian in its presence! Practically, I have not seen a city as adaptable as Bangalore, of course credit goes to weather at first, but you cannot ignore the people here as well; they make the transition very easy for you!

They all complaint about "no night life in Bangalore" but it does not end here. There is lot to this city than night life! You will find and get everything here, tasty food @ South & North Indian restaurants, Marwaris @ Bangles & Accessories stores, and rest goes like the same.

I remember being reluctant to few things and mostly criticizing many things during my first stint to this city and also for a couple of initial months when I started working here... but there is always a different perspective to things around you, which even I took to realize and appreciate my surroundings. 

People from all parts of India and globe make their living in Bangalore; it has space for all of us.

On that note, I will sign-off this blog by quoting this "Be the change you wish to see in the world".

Peace ~

5 reason why you don't need a Smartphone!

Thoughts expressed here are original in totality. This blog do not have any copied material except for the image from web. 

Before starting, I would like to thank my friends Gaurav Sharma and Shoaib Qureshi. It is earlier discussions with them how I am able to write this blog. So if you do not find reasons convincing enough, its three of us whom you should be catching!! :-)

As some tech enthusiasts put it, its a smarter time our society living in, so everything from being human to what we do and how we do should also be reflection of belonging here and a smartphone is what it takes to begin with. Its does not mean that all those who do not have a smartphone are not smart and are not part of smarter society.

Ultimately its one's personal point of view how he/she look at things surrounding him/her, so if next time you find yourself at a place where everyone is pushing you to jump into smartphone arena, these are the top 5 reason you should throw and get rid of them.

Reason #1: I don't like being connected 24*7

Welcome to smartphone timezone, whether you like it or not, once you own a smartphone you are connected to the world 24*7. You can ping anyone anytime and so they can! Thanks to App thing now you can you do whatever stuff you like from your phone, what you can do from a regular PC but not from a basic phone.

Reason #2: I don't like complexities in phone

I think simple, I act simple, I look simple... so why should I carry something which will make me feel complex? A question worth thinking and defending! In short, complexity is not my cup of tea. If this is how you are, definitely you are not looking for a smartphone. Because in smartphone, everything from answering a call to using Facebook, from browsing web (data plans) to powering your phone on... they all look and feel hell complex!!

Reason #3: I don't use phone for other than calling or messaging

Hmnn... a solid reason to say no to all those smartphone discussions. Since I don't use or require email, banking, bookings, payment, maps, etc. on move, I don't see any point for using smartphone. My basic phone do the job of calling and messaging as I say it. I don't see any other utility to be part of my mobile life.

Reason #4: I don't believe in being a show-off 

You got the point. Everyone pick a smartphone for show-off, they hardly use even calender function it. You say this and you are in safe zone already!

Reason #5: I don't feel like changing my phone

The baap of any reason around, since I don't feel like changing my phone now, why the whole world is behind me? Are you going to pay for the smartphone you are talking about? If yes, I want a Mahindra XUV 500 first!!

Being yourself.
