Bengaluru man transforms ₹12,000 1 BHK into lush green haven with 500+ plants and fossils
What can ₹12,000 get you in Bengaluru's rental market? For one man living in Kasturi Nagar, it means a penthouse on the fourth floor transformed into an 'urban jungle', with more than 500 plants, an ancient fossil, and a peaceful vibe that feels far removed from the city's chaos.
The house was recently featured on the Instagram page @whatsuptenant_rentomojo, which shares unique homes and rental stories from Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR and Mumbai.
In the video, the tenant gives viewers a tour of his 1BHK rental, where green creepers crawl along balconies, lemongrass and hibiscus bloom, and handmade aquariums and terrariums sit alongside a 60-million-year-old fossil.
'I've tried to keep it as natural as possible inside as well,' he says, adding that he painted the door and some walls himself.

God told Cardi B to date Stefon Diggs, and she didn't hesitate to follow the sign
Cardi B says God told her to give Stefon Diggs a chance (Getty Images) In an age where relationships are often broadcast like highlight reels and Instagram captions double as love letters, Cardi B has taken an entirely different route. Her recent voice note on X (formerly Twitter) wasn't just another celebrity confession—it was raw, spiritual, and deeply human. With the honesty of a diary entry and the impact of a sermon, Cardi peeled back the layers of her evolving relationship, one that fans believe involves Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Was it fate? Cardi B claims God pushed her toward NFL star Stefon Diggs And this isn't your typical Hollywood love story. According to Cardi, this connection wasn't sparked by slick DMs or flashy meet-cutes. It was orchestrated by something—or someone—much bigger. 'I'm with the person that I am with now because sometimes, I don't know, like, I just feel like God would tell me to give him a chance,' she admitted, with a vulnerability rarely seen from the Bronx-born rapper. 'Which is so weird.' Rapper Cardi B reveals she dated Stefon Diggs because God told her to (Instagram0 In just those few words, Cardi transformed her story into something far deeper than tabloid fodder. After enduring emotional ups and downs, particularly surrounding her long-standing and often-public rollercoaster with Offset, she found herself in a quiet space where someone showed up—not for fame, not for clout, but for her. She detailed those silent struggles: moments of depression, nights of uncertainty, and mental spirals that felt endless. But right then, when she needed it most, came an unexpected yet consistent presence. 'When I had those weird episodes, that's when a n***a would like hit me up or text me out of the mood, checking on me and stuff like that.' There were no fireworks. Just genuine check-ins. In a world that's loud, his care was quiet—and that, Cardi seems to suggest, was what made all the difference. Before fans connected the dots, long before Instagram posts and matching vibes made it official, she was doing something she hadn't done in a while: building slowly. This wasn't about replacing one headline with another. It was about rediscovering trust. 'I built a friendship,' she shared. 'I got to know the person. They get to know me. We still getting to know each other.' For someone whose life has often played out on stages and timelines, this grounded, spiritually-guided journey feels refreshingly different. It's not about perfection—it's about presence. And Diggs, now a wide receiver for the New England Patriots, seemed to understand that perfectly. Cardi and Diggs finally went Instagram official last weekend, ending weeks of speculation. Her heartfelt livestream, shared by Live Bitez, showed a softer side fans adored. Many rushed to the comments with love. 'Cardi u dont owe us no explanation!' one user wrote. 'Even if it don't end in marriage, at least you had fun!' This new chapter hasn't been without noise, though. Offset, her ex and father of her children, took a subtle jab by tweeting, 'Good roll out n PR. Today I pass.' Diggs countered with an icy flex—posting a photo of himself mid-catch with the caption, 'We good...' Still, the noise seems irrelevant to Cardi. Because for her, this wasn't about performance. It was about peace, presence, and perhaps, divine timing. If anything, her story reminds us all—sometimes, healing arrives not with fireworks, but with a quiet text at the right time.
