Why is be3r so damn expensive here? Bangalore prides itself as being the city of breweries but the prices of a decent can of beer are just extortionate here. A single 500 mL can of KF Ultra is now ₹180. Not even an imported beer but locally made stuff. Lot of other versions of KF, Tuborg etc seem extremely watered down and like drinking flavoured water. Wine shops are now stacking tons of Gen-Z focused beer like Geist, Bira, Woodpecker, etc which have fancy packaging but the product itself is just average. The cheaper beers ie... 1 19 replies

Why Bachelor tenants are not preferred? When I look for an apartment they always ask "family or bachelor ". After this chances of getting that place reduces once I say bachelor. But why is it so? One reason I know: because bachelors get drunk, or some drugs, will fight with others and create a scene in that condition. Some might bring different girls or boys every day. Now not all are like this! But based on my observation, family people fight a lot more often. Fights between husband and wife can be too loud to... 1 13 replies

I asked friends where to go to and what to do, even people that have lived here their entire lives. They suggested the usual boring... 3 2 replies

I couldn’t help but wonder what had triggered it. I know it was the song, but why? And then... 1 11 replies
