A woman from Lucknow, now living in Bengaluru, has sparked a lively online conversation after sharing a thoughtful post about life in India’s tech capital.
A city beyond work and deadlines
Taking to X, Jyotsna Gupta reflected on how Bengaluru offers far more than just professional opportunities. In her post, she wrote, “Bengaluru has so much to offer. Yet I see so many people not really leveraging what this city gives you. The people, the connections, the meetups, and the ease of finding your kind of community. From tech to hobbies. From beginner friendly communities to serious ones. From sports and dance to biking, running, and everything in between. Bengaluru is not just a place to hustle. It is a place to live the life you once wanted but were scared to start. Leverage the city, not just for work, but to actually enjoy life.”
