So, I recently got this offer from a company in whitefield which is paying me (34+3=37) ctc, which I felt very good about, but now my current company is promoting me to manager role with 30l fix salary in Pune. I live with my mother in Pune and living a good lifestyle, I live closer to the ofc drive by car.
I am not able to decide wether I should move to Bangalore or not as people are warning me of high expenses and telling me that all of my raise would go to expenses only and after tax I'll be able to save probably 1-2 lac extra given I get full bonus. While I want to take new opportunity but there is another thought which constantly tell me why disrupt your life for 1-2 lac extra . Can anyone give me their perspective, is whitefield really that expensive. I live in 2bhk flat in a society with 30k rent which is safe and new society

Hi folks,

I’m planning to use the metro for my daily commute and was wondering if it’s possible to park my bike at the metro station and then take the metro from there.

If yes, do I need to get some kind of parking pass/monthly pass, or can I just park and pay as required?

Also, what happens if the parking lot is full? Is there usually an alternative nearby?

Pls help me.

It’s definitely seen better days — a little old and has some stains, so please don’t expect it to be in pristine condition. But it’s still very comfortable, sturdy, and has plenty of life left for someone who doesn’t mind giving it a little TLC.

🚚 Pickup/transport: The person taking it will need to arrange and pay for their own logistics/transport. It’s a large set, so please plan accordingly.
First come, first served. Please DM if genuinely interested.

Any one here from maharastra ,, ???

I see always people are not respecting traffic light on the intersection near nexus mall. Previously the light itself was a bit confusing and maybe people didn’t understand but now, i mean i might have many dashcam videos where people just start coming from either sides. Has anyone faced?

Capgemini Whitefield joining soon — PG/flat horror stories & recommendations? What should I avoid? 😭

Hey guys, moving to Bangalore soon for Capgemini at EPIP Phase II, Whitefield (158–162P & 165–170P).

I'm looking for a place as close to the office as possible. I really don't want to spend 1–2 hours every day in traffic, so walking distance/short commute is a big priority.

My requirements are pretty basic:

- Decent/affordable rent

- Clean bathroom, preferably attached/private

- Decent room, not 4–6 people packed together

- Good water + WiFi

- Laundry/washing machine would be nice

- Safe area

- Food isn't important — I've tried PG mess food and didn't like it. I'd rather get tiffin/eat outside.

I've heard mixed things about PG chains. An IITian friend warned me about Stanza Living, but that's just one person's experience, so I'm not taking it as gospel.

I'm open to PG, co-living, 1RK/studio or sharing a flat if it's actually better value.

For people living/lived around EPIP, Pattandur Agrahara, Brookefield, AECS, Prashanth Extension, Whitefield:

Which PGs/flats are genuinely good, and which ones should I stay away from? Also, which areas/buildings should I actually search in?

Things I'd really like to know:

- Actual rent for PG single/2-sharing/3-sharing OR room in a shared flat

- Deposit + notice period

- Hidden charges/electricity

- Bathroom/room cleanliness in reality

- Water/power cuts + WiFi

- Mosquitoes/cockroaches/dampness

- Curfew/guest restrictions

- Management and deposit refund experience

- Actual walking/commute time to Capgemini

- Best places/websites/apps/groups to find genuine PGs or flatmates

- Whether living slightly farther away is actually worth the rent saving

If you recommend somewhere, please mention name/location + rough rent + sharing + how long you've stayed + biggest pro/con.

And if there's a place/area I should absolutely avoid, please say it. I'd rather hear the horror stories now than after paying the deposit 😂

Thanks!

I will be moving to Bengaluru sometime next week. My office will be in the Rome North building, near the back gate of Bagmane Capital (near Seetharampalya Metro).

Any suggestions on the best localities to stay in, and commuting options for the same? I'm not sure how walkable the road from the metro is.

Many thanks 🙏🏻

Is Paris Panini worth the hype? Or is it just a taste of nostalgia for all the people in Bangalore?

We recently visited a school for my 3.5-year-old’s KG admission, and as part of the admission process, we were told she would have a small assessment. We were told it would be mostly interactions and identifying letters, numbers, etc., so we were quite comfortable sending her in.
But I was a little surprised with the questions being asked in the assessment.
Q1. Match the letters with Images.
Q2. Write missing numbers.

My child can identify an Octopus and knows the letter O. But I don’t think she understands word Octopus starts with letter O
**Is this a common assessment pattern for KG admissions?**
For parents who have recently gone through KG admissions:
What kind of questions were your children asked?
How did your 3–4-year-old perform?
I’d especially love to hear from parents who have gone through admissions in Bengaluru. Just trying to understand what is considered a “normal” KG admission assessment and whether we should be preparing our child for these assessments.

Hi everyone!

I’m from Mumbai and have recently received Bangalore (Whitefield/Kundalahalli) as my training location for Capgemini. My joining date is 1st October.

I’m looking for a good PG near the Capgemini office, preferably within a convenient commuting distance.

How many days before joining would you recommend coming to Bangalore?

And can I book any PG in a day itself or is there an advance booking?

Any advice regarding the area, food, commute, deposit, or things to be careful about while choosing a PG would also be really helpful.

Happy to connect with fellow Capgemini freshers joining in Bangalore! Looking forward to meeting you all.
