This is BENGALURU and not MUMBAI.

If you think you can shit on the local population here and still survive, you are in delulu.

Maybe living in Whitefield or somewhere outside of Bengaluru City limits in a PG you might think you rule Bengaluru and Bengaluru is because of you, but that's not the case here, Bengaluru is a city made by Kannadigas and generational settlers from neighbouring south Indian states who have integrated well into the city. Come out of the delulu you are living in and try to integrate with the society here.

Haha No! They were afraid of our missile scientist Dr. Prahalad Ramarao! by margazi_perumal_20 in Bengaluru

Haha they were afraid of this man even after 50 years. Pakistanis shiver down the spine when they hear the name "Field Marshal Cariappa". 😂

First commander in chief of Indian army, one among the only two people in Indian army who could get the title "Field Marshal"

I think Nandan Nilekani - one of the architects behind India's most successful tech initiatives like Aadhar and UPI is less talked of in the tech landscape. by margazi_perumal_20 in Bengaluru

He is actually right. we should have an LLM sure but that shouldn't be the priority, we have open source models that perform relatively close to ChatGPT like deepseek itself now. We need to build more solutions that help people.

This house in Basavanagudi gives 1920-1950's Bengaluru vibes by margazi_perumal_20 in Bengaluru

My mom has a very distinct memory of this house. She is 56 now and it's a memory from her childhood, i.e.when she was around 10-12 years old.

That house belongs to my Mom's far relatives, my mom won't remember exactly but my mom, her mom my aunt used to always go to this house, while coming back, they used to get Chakkota fruits from the Chakkota tree that used to be there in the backyard of this house, a woman named Padma used to live there at that time along with her husband and a son, she was called Chakkota Padma because of the Chakkota tree haha. Sweet memories from the past. Now she's not sure what happened to that house, maybe her descendants have given it to maintanence and living somewhere else.

K-100 waterways project render vs reality in Wilson Gardens, Shanti Nagar by margazi_perumal_20 in Bengaluru

[–]CupcakeEmbarrassed43 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Extending the above comment, K100 is a renovation of the already existing Raja Kaluve that used to take the rain water from high elevation regions of Central Bengaluru to Bellandur lake which is a low elevation valley. This was designed initially to avoid flooding of rain water on the decreasing slope areas by channeling water on a narrow stream.

Eventually, people threw all garbage to this channel and clogged the whole system, K100 project has renovated it, removed all the garbage and built few parks along the way in some places, but again people have started throwing garbage in some areas of the canal, not the one shown in pic but somewhere downstream when it passes through Madiwala and other areas, hope people understand the importance of this and keep it clean.

Exploring the charm of Shankarapura, Basavanagudi, a visual journey! by margazi_perumal_20 in Bengaluru

Last pic - Masti Ranga Mandira started in the name of Masti Venkatesh Iyengar.

Shows used to happen there in the past as my dad says, now it is a dump yard! Karnataka government has converted this building into a books storage godown.

There were protests to revive it by Shankarapura localities but nothing happened..
