Bangalore is a great city with regard to social life since it is cosmopolitan and one can find people from all over the country living there in harmony...However, the infra structure is far from good, in fact with the metro work going on all over the city it is a nightmare...

It's indeed, a very cosmopolitan city like Kolkata and faces the same problems which Kolkata does! I have never been to it but whatever I understand from my friends the city is bursting at its seams and losing its old charm.

Very much so, the old Bangalore is gone forever, I grew up, abd studied in bangalore and those days bangalore was a beautiful city filled with greenery,clean wide streets and everything about it was charming...But now it is becoming an over crowded filthy city with poor infrastructure !

Years back when I was in Bangalore, I loved the city, it was really clean and beautiful with lot of gardens but lately as I hear, it has turned into yet another metropolitan like Mumbai, Pune bursting at seams with heavy influx of people from outside. Whatever efforts are taken, they become useless in face of the fast pace with which people come in! After all, each city has limitations when it comes to infrastructure. One can only accommodate so much at a time!

Kalyani, I also blame the authorities since their planning is always short sighted and doesnt take any future happenings into account unlike other countries where they only need to make some minor adjustments to accommodate changes...Almost all our cities face the same problem once they start growing and people are the ultimate sufferers

2 or 3 years back I have visited Bangalore once. It's so fast and busy comparing our state.....
shopping malls everywhere and people spend a lot of money too.....social life too comparing our state
I saw one or two parks, but sad to say greenery is almost vanished....
Bangalore is nothing but a market to sell products of big companies and firms

True! Actually this problem is not just any one city council or municipality, the entire country is direly in need of a proper planning. In my opinion, if all the states had proper infrastructure and there were equal opportunities of livelihood everywhere, then the problem won't be so huge in scale. The fact is that there are states like UP, Bihar etc. where people still do not have regular means of proper livelihood and hence people move out to other states, especially metropolitan cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata etc.! I wonder if there is ever going to be a solution this particular problem.
