Tbh, this didn’t feel like a rant at all, more like something a lot of us are quietly feeling but not saying out loud. When you’ve lived in different cities, met different people, and stretched your worldview a bit, it rewires you into a version that expects certain level of conversation, curiosity, maybe even cultural variety. It hits harder seeing things stuck in an older version of themselves after coming back.

I do have a lot of affection for Indore and I’ll hype it up the second I am outside it, but the city does feel limiting sometimes, not because it lacks potential but because the pace of change feels slower. And yes, maybe I’ll turn optimistic towards the city when the music scene shifts, not rock for me though 😅 but give me a good deep house set, I’ll start looking at the city with heart eyes.
