Bengaluru’s Electronic City has become a popular destination for couples seeking affordability and good air quality. In this episode of The Tenant, we meet a couple who made the move to the city with high hopes, but soon discovered that their initial excitement was short-lived. As Hindi speakers in a predominantly Kannada-speaking city, they struggled to communicate effectively and found it challenging to connect with the local community.
One of the main challenges they faced was the lack of malls and multiplexes in Electronic City, which made their experience less enjoyable. They also discussed the exaggerated water scarcity issue in the city, which added to their frustration and made them question whether they had made the right decision. Despite these difficulties, they continued to work hard to adapt to their new surroundings and embrace the local culture.
However, their struggles didn’t end there. The couple also grappled with heavy traffic, unpredictable weather conditions, and cultural differences that made them feel like outsiders despite their best efforts. These challenges have led them to question whether Bengaluru can truly be their permanent home. Tune in to hear more about their journey and learn about the unique experiences faced by tenants moving into a new city.
