As a non-Kannadiga, do you speak Kannada as you're living in Bengaluru?

Image
Hi Bengaluru I am from Odisha, & I am Staying in Karnataka from Past 4 years. Let me Explain Something Kannadigga Kannadigas  are simple, pure hearted, humble, soft spoken, broad minded, open hearted, and easy going, just to think a few qualities. In my perspective, this is quite common in the bigger cities of Karnataka like  Bengaluru , Mysuru, Tumkur, and so on. In most of the northern part of Karnataka, the qualities remain same except soft spoken. The dialect appears to be rude but the purity & simplicity in their lifestyle out-beats the southern part. Overall, the purity of the heart with which  Kannadigas  accept people is a unique quality comparing it with other states in general. They don't force you to learn their language. In fact, it's the other way around. They adapt to your language. It took a while for me to learn Kannada because everybody in Bangalore speaks either Hindi or Telugu! They are used to being around people who are fr...

How can I convince myself to leave my job?

If your boss or Management is the problem… If you’re dealing with a difficult boss,& Worst Management get clear on the biggest issue first. What do you need from your boss to eliminate some of your stress? Is it less management? More management? Or a complete personality overhaul? If it’s something that can be fixed (like more or better communication), start by scheduling a meeting and asking for what you need. If you answered “a complete personality overhaul,” consider your options. Can you make a lateral move within your company? Is there a way to shift who manages you? Can you work with a mentor to help you talk with your boss? Or is this a big enough issue it’s time to move on to the next job? Think about your best, most realistic option, and then move toward it. If your work is the problem… Step one of dealing with your work is to get clear on what part of your work is causing you the most pain. Do you feel like you’re bad at your job? Are you bored by your j...

The Bengaluru traffic condition ?

Image
An insight into the traffic jams in Bangalore I hail from a small town in Manipur which lies in the northeast part of India. Manipur is a beautiful state with a valley that is surrounded by hills on all sides. However, the infrastructure put into the construction of the roads in this state is incomparable with those in other metropolitan cities and this is further proved by the poor condition of roads in National Highways and in the hills connecting several districts. I used to take a bus to school or a bike to tuitions and I could easily cover approximately 40 km in an hour. Traffic jams were a rare sight, and if traffic did happen, it just took an extra 15 mins. The capital city, Imphal, has a flyover extending only 2 km. So, when I came here in Bangalore, my experiences have been changed. Recently, I visited my sister who stayed at Marathahalli which is around 35-36 km from my place. That day, I finally realized what it meant being stuck in a traffic jam. Even though the c...
