K’s Top 10 Reasons to Leave Bangalore (In Increasing Order of Importance) ®

1) BENGALOORU. I do not think I need to say more. That name does it.
2) We’ll go with the classics now: POLLUTION
3) All the roads need restructuring and replanning.
4) Traffic SUCKS. There is NO road sense or sense of any other kind.
5) Public transport SUCKS. Drivers have no road sense, no manners, they are often indifferent and treat passengers like SHIT.
6) The people are indifferent, most of the time. Everyone wants to have only their way in the city, which is very irritating.
7) (Now we get down to brass tacks) ZERO NIGHT LIFE. Everything closes by eleven and the only places which do not get raided by the police and foster criminal cases about our rich scions.
8) Entertainment sucks. There is literally nothing to do if you’re not a shop- or a spend-aholic. (Though I guess this is true about every other city as well)
9) Smoking banned on stage. Now theatre artistes have to pay a fine (it’s HUGE) if they have a play featuring smoking, and they will have to justify the reasons. CRAP.
10) Smoking banned in movies. No more movies will be made featuring anyone smoking. And some IDIOT wants to ban screenings of all movies heretofore made which feature smoking. GOODBYE Bachchan, Shotgun Sinha, Devdas, Bogart, Wayne, all our heroes. Goodbye Tarantino.

THAT’S IT FOLKS!!!! TIME TO CLEAN UP OUR ACT OR GET OUT!!!!

Loving Regards,
K.

Who the hell is this guy?

The lack of night-life and the anti-smoking thing seem to be your main grudges. :)

But you're right about the former. While the shutting down of everything at 11 may seem advisable to some, these some are usually over the age of 40 and shouldn't be out of doors after 8 anyway. No, while the Nikhil Gowda incident and similar others seem persuasive argument in favour of this shut-down, the actions of the few shouldn't be used to pockmark the many.

And I'll reiterate, idiots who are 'influenced' by watching smoking on screen deserve no less.

The other guy is a pal who said he'd leave a vitriolic comment. True to form, he did...
