Moving to Bengaluru 🌆—Concerned About Hair Fall Due to Water Quality 💧 Hey folks, I'm planning to move to Bengaluru next week for a software job and have been hearing concerns about the water supply, especially chlorine in the water. Some of my friends who already live there have experienced severe hair fall due to this, so I want to be prepared. 1. How bad is the water quality there for hair? 2. Does using filtered/shower water filters actually help? 3. Any tried-and-tested shampoos, oils, or routines you'd recommend for tackling this? 4. Any lifestyle tips (like diet changes or supplements)... 3 8 replies

High time to realise there's no hindi hate in Bangalore. It's hate everyone! Why? Why Bangaloreans why?! I've stayed in all metro cities in India. But in bangalore, the shopkeepers, auto drivers, police, northies, southies, every group is intolerant. Northies identify it as Hindi hate, southies identify as kannada hate. You all are just two sides of the same problem. Ofcourse it's only a small percent of the population but that is enough to tarnish the image of the city. I've been here for almost 5 years and don't say it's propoganda. I've been seeing this from day one. I've tried posting... 5 1 replies

The "Hindi-Hate" thing in Bangalore is blown out of proportion Recently been to Manipal Hospital for the annual health checkup. Since it was the year end, the hospital was swarmed with IT dudes all thronging to complete their quota of check up. Every nurse, attended, worker, even doctor and canteen staf, I encountered addressed people in hindi and not in English or Kannada - this despite most of them being Kannadigas. Communicating on Hindi naturally with others has just seeped into so many areas of our Kannada society. Makes me wonder how people paint the entire town red of... 2 0 replies
