After almost 4 years now in Bangalore, I don't claim myself a Bangalorean. I can't even claim myself belong to my hometown, as it has changed a lot now. I really don't know where do I belong now. I think, I'm lost somewhere.
Anyway, I have my reasons to hate and love this city. These are just personal opinions. Nothing meant to offend anyone.
I hate Bangalore because of the apathy of the people I see around me. Every newbie here claims he/she is a Bangalorean; but their attitude towards the city in one word. Irresponsible.
I hate Bangalore because of disconnect between sections of society which is painful and so alarming.
I hate Bangalore because even when it’s the capital of the state, it’s still someone else’s.
I hate Bangalore when it rains. A walk on any road will tell you why. The city still has a long way to go.
I hate Bangalore because of the hostility I see in public life; from the local people as well as many who are now being settled here.

I love Bangalore because it is fast becoming a microcosm of India, although withstanding numerous issues.
I love Bangalore because of Vidhan Soudha, an architectural marvel, Lalbagh, and such numerous landmarks.
I love Bangalore because I started working here and now I’m at one of the premier educational institutions in India.
I love Bangalore because of its warm welcome. I never saw anyone facing difficulty to settle down here.

The 'hate' reasons can be easily turned into "love" reasons, if all involved parties do the right things.
And, any day if you ask me if I hate or love this city. I love Bangalore.

Yeah, I know you expected a comment like this; but couldn't resist! No, I'm not asking you to spill the beans!
As for the reasons you hate B'lore; I completely empathize. I feel the same way about my home town.
Cheers!
yeah. I expected such a comment. certain someone? Will keep it the same way as mentioned in the post. :)
And about the city, it's about some changes in the administration and people's attitudes. As simple as that.
Like I said....I'm not asking you to spill the beans!
A little mystery is good for the soul!
Cheers!
A little mystery is good for the soul! Whatever! And I won't spill the beans, anyway. ;)
"... a reason very close to my heart." hmmm...
How come there aren't any poems being written on it? A little romanticism could be enthralling [:P]
@little by little , bit by bit
If you meant me writing a poem, you are at the wrong place. I never tried and don't want to try. :)
