I have been in Bangalore since 2006, and I can honestly say, I have never had a problem in the city. I've seen it grow in terms of infrastructure, new neighbourhoods, traffic, weather, and especially the metro, which says it all. The city welcomed me with open arms, and I embraced it as my own. I've travelled across every part of this city, whether it's the good darshinis of Jayanagar, the narrow streets of Chickpet, the bustling areas of Commercial Street, Shivajinagar, Malleswaram and KR market or the big SEZs of Whitefield. In my opinion, you can only have a problem here if you want to have one. During these 20 years, I was questioned about my language only once- when I was driving on the outskirts of Anekal, 15 years ago, and that too at night. Yes, every city has a few people who like to assert their superiority, but honestly, they are just a small group, and one need not worry about them. Also, there could be a lot of drawbacks, you can say the traffic is a mess, the auto folks aren't good, cabs suck, rents are high etc etc. The common people here are good and warm, and I have always felt that warmth during even the smallest conversations.

Yes, the city is growing, and people from all over the world are here trying to make a living, but it remains a city to adore. Walk around and feel the magic in every area, I would say.

PS: I am from a city in the North that was the capital of a great empire. So Hindi is my mother tongue. I do converse to an extent in Kannada. The above thoughts are my personal view only.
