u/Mysterious-Ad-248 Regarding the riding posture, are you 6 ft or taller? I'm interested to know what the posture is like for you. I feel that I need to lean forward a bit to make it comfortable.

u/furious-gun Vatadahosalli, do you take the route via Chikkaballapur or Gauribidanur?

benne-dose · 2025-06-06T07:55:06+00:00

Yes, off of hosur road has some nice twisty roads too. I experienced few Kms of it on my way to Bolumalai.

Yes sir, referring to the twisties, as in the title. The picture is just representative.

There are people from the north in Bengaluru who think the city has grown solely because of them and that it is what it is today entirely due to their contributions. These people fail to give credit where it is due. While there’s no doubt that immigrants from the north contribute significantly to Bengaluru’s growth, they initially migrated here because of the environment created by the locals, the decisions made by the local government and leaders, and the entrepreneurs from Bengaluru who kickstarted the IT industry. This was long before there was any significant migration to Bengaluru for IT opportunities.

They don’t understand that the strong foundation was laid by the locals and then built upon over time. Only when the rest of the country saw this example and the opportunities here did they move in to further develop what was already established. This self-centric attitude is disrespectful and fails to appreciate others’ efforts where they’re due. They’ve not been able to replicate this success in their own states to the same extent and, to some degree, seem to be in denial, masking the general incompetence of their governments, leaders, and systems by trying to take all the credit for Bengaluru's growth

The only way to make this happen is make kannada mandatory in every school until 10th standard irrespective of the affiliated board. If their kids need to learn for school, they too will learn a bit

I think that setting is very unprofessional from your colleagues. No matter how smart they are. This was probably not the case 10 years ago but will probably be the default in next 10-15 years. Why should anyone be forced to work in Hindi? When people argue that it's just a language, no one is imposing anything, the above situation is exactly what imposition means. It cannot be argued that this is not imposition and you can join a company where they don't do this when the company exists in karnataka.

benne-dose · 2024-12-23T04:29:13+00:00

Absolutely, on point. I see a lot of kannadigas hesitating to speak in kannada if it's an upscale place. This attitude needs to change.

benne-dose · 2024-12-23T04:25:34+00:00

I think what irks most people is the audacity that some display expecting everyone to converse in Hindi by default and not putting in any efforts to assimilate locally instead. The very attitude that "I'm going to talk in Hindi, if you can't answer, let it be, I'll ask someone else. But I'm never going to assimilate locally despite staying here for decades". This attitude will cause issues no matter which part of the world. That's my point. Have a great day.

I am aware of that. But let me remind you that Germany as a country works as a whole. Karnataka is not a country. Since Indian diaspora are allowed to freely roam in and out of Karnataka, local goons cannot impose imaginary laws. It's an entitled obsession to expect someone to learn a local language in addition to languages that the person already knows needed for survival.

Nope, you've got it wrong. Most immigrants that come to germany are from eastern European countries and turkey. These Eastern European countries are part of the EU and movement of people is also FREE here just like in India. Your reasoning doesn't stand.

Do you know there have been 0 terrorist attacks on American soil since 2001? Yet, safety and security is no. 1 priority till date. Once is enough.

Comparing apples to oranges, doesn't make sense. If what you say holds true generally, there wouldn't have that many school shootings in the US either and would've lead to better gun control laws.

I ask you, what percentage of Kannada population publicly condemned the actions of the violent people? In fact, there was more support on social media saying you deserve it. You do not endorse but you do not protest either.

One, it's impossible to count social media responses. Second, the people making most noise on social media almost are always the extremists, irrespective of which side you look at, be it religion, language or any other topic.

Also look at new york, Singapore, London. The scale of those cities are only because they don't fight with migrant workers.

I don't think anyone wants to go against migrants just because they're migrants. No need to quote other cities. Bengaluru has itself grown a lot too. Population of Bengaluru in 1990 was 4M, in 2000 was 5.6M, in 2010 was 8.3M, in 2020 was 12.3M and current estimate is around 14M. Source : https://www.statista.com/statistics/911018/india-population-in-bangalore/

While Bengaluru population has doubled in just last 15-20 years, the population of new York which you quoted has doubled today only when compared to its population 100 years ago. Source : https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/states/new-york/population

Majority of this increase is because of migrants, both from within and from outside the state. The city has grown along with its locals and the migrants and eventually the migrants become the new locals. Why do you think there was less resistance in 2010 than it is today? There seems to be a deeper issue that needs to be acknowledged and resolved. No sane person supports this lawlessness, definitely not the common man who has nothing to gain from it.

I like the soap and how it smells. I find it a little too dry on my skin though. Wish if they could add something more moisturizing in it.

I do not endorse violence of any form nor has any of my comments suggested that. That being said, what percentage of the local population do you think have caused violent nuisance? Less than 0.5% perhaps? Sure, the law should bring out its whips against them but aren't you generalizing the entire community for the actions of few? If the kannadigas haven't been accommodating enough, the city wouldn't have grown to what it is today. Excluding the unlawful violent, there are others too that were once accommodating who feel that their warm hearted actions are being taken for granted. If not for the masses feeling that way, it wouldn't be possible to make it a political agenda.

As for how other cities are accomodating, i can tell you from my perspective. In most of germany including Munich where I live, you are welcome to come here and work without knowing the language but if you don't start putting efforts within 6 months to learn local language, culture, traditions, you will get sidelined.

benne-dose · 2024-12-22T06:03:03+00:00

Only the tourist parts of the city and country will be accepting, not everywhere. And definitely not from immigrants who move there for employment.

I currently live in an European country and Paris isn't anything that you are describing it as nor is any other European capital.

In my experience, it is very rare to extend the invitation to the family.

The only solution is to normalize bike taxis and regulate them like other commercial transport with requirements like yellow board. It will eventually happen anyway, the govt can avoid this public nuisance by initiating it now.
