Bengaluru man's emotional post on Jayanagar's lost soul sparks citywide nostalgia. Netizens pour out their pain
In a city constantly rebranding itself as India's Silicon Valley, what gets lost in the buzz of cafes, start-ups, and soaring skylines? Sometimes, it's the soul of a neighbourhood. That's exactly what one Bengaluru resident sought to capture in a heartfelt, no-frills post that is now echoing across the city like a collective sigh. #Pahalgam Terrorist Attack Inside Operation Tupac: Pakistan's secret project to burn Kashmir Who is Asim Munir, the Zia-style general shaping Pakistan's faith-driven military revival 'Looking for partners, not preachers': India's strong message for EU amid LoC tensions On May 2, Rohith Simha, a long-time resident of Jayanagar, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his grief—not over a person or an event, but a place. A place he once called peaceful, orderly, and deeply personal. 'Once a calm and peaceful residential area, Jayanagar has turned into a busy, noisy, and dusty commercial hub,' he wrote. 'Forefathers did everything to ensure quality of life, but subsequent generations went behind money and sold it to real estate, who further made those not willing also to sell.' What might have been another passing tweet turned viral for one reason: it wasn't just about Jayanagar. It was a mirror. And everyone saw their neighbourhood in it. — rohith_simha (@rohith_simha) 'We're All Watching Our Homes Disappear' Simha's post struck a deep, emotional chord with hundreds of residents and social media users, sparking a flurry of responses from those who grew up in other iconic Bengaluru localities—Vijayanagara, RPC Layout, Chandra Layout. The grief was collective, and so was the helplessness. 'Every second plot now has a multi-storied paying guest structure violating every norm while BBMP looks the other way,' one user lamented, calling Bengaluru the 'PG capital of the world.' You Might Also Like: Bengaluru man, born and raised in the city, thinks living in India's Silicon Valley has become 'irritable' — IndiaUnfolding (@IndiaUnfolding) Another recalled how massive homes that once housed families and flowering gardens have turned into guest accommodations with overloaded sewage and water systems, crumbling under the weight of sudden densification. 'People are getting old and not able to adjust with this type of commercial activity,' the comment read, painting a poignant picture of ageing residents stuck in rapidly changing surroundings. For many, Jayanagar's quiet lanes and flowering trees were not just aesthetic—it was a way of life. A deliberate one. The kind where neighbours greeted each other by name, the air smelled of jasmine, and the silence after dusk wasn't interrupted by honks and halogen signage. That Bangalore, they say, is now a memory. The Disappearing Homes of Generations Many commenters were particularly struck by Simha's note on inherited homes . 'Houses with courtyards are being demolished or modified for more floors,' one user wrote. 'Generations that inherited these homes are going to court to sell them, and open spaces are vanishing.' What was once a carefully planned, community-centric neighbourhood has now become a developer's dream and a planner's nightmare. The cultural and architectural ethos that defined old Bengaluru is being replaced, floor by floor, with the glass and concrete symbols of unchecked growth. You Might Also Like: Bengaluru autodriver wins hearts after he charges Rs 166 for 11 km ride 'Jayanagar is the next Chickpete in the making,' one user declared, ominously predicting that the area would be fully commercialised within the next decade. And many agree. Others placed blame on a systemic failure—'In the name of development, total commercialisation has taken place. Our country isn't planned like Europe or China. It will take three more generations to reverse this.' — IAM_RShariff (@IAM_RShariff) A City in Reflection Rohith Simha's emotional tweet has done more than spark nostalgia . It has exposed a silent but shared grief—a feeling of being exiled within your own city. It has forced a city of nine million to ask: what are we really building? And at what cost? Whether Jayanagar becomes another commercial corridor or finds a way to preserve its roots remains to be seen. But what's clear now is that amid the race for space and profit, the people of Bengaluru haven't forgotten the homes they once knew. And perhaps, they never will.

'You north Indians come here for jobs, then disrespect us': BJP leader Pratap Simha on Bengaluru road rage row
Amid growing tensions following a recent road rage incident in Bengaluru involving an IAF officer and a local biker, former BJP MP Pratap Simha has delivered a scathing response that has triggered sharp debate on regional identity, migration, and linguistic pride. Reacting to the controversy, Simha lashed out at what he termed as a "deliberate media narrative" targeting Kannadigas, particularly blaming Delhi-based outlets for portraying locals as oppressors. "These North Indians don't behave like this in Chennai. Why? Why don't they go to Kerala looking for jobs?" he asked in a provocative statement that's now widely circulated on social media. Simha accused North Indian migrants of exploiting Bengaluru's opportunities without respecting its culture. "You North Indians come to Bengaluru because you have no better livelihood options elsewhere. Don't test the patience of Kannadigas," he warned. He also took a firm stand on the long-standing language debate. 'You live in this city for decades together for education and jobs. What is wrong in learning the local language? We are not asking you to read or write, just learn the basics. If you don't want our language, stay back in your city.' An FIR has been registered against the 40-year-old IAF officer on charges of attempt to murder, criminal intimidation and voluntarily causing hurt based on a counter-complaint by a call centre employee, who was previously arrested on the officer's complaint in a road rage incident, police said on Tuesday. Shiladitya Bose, a Wing Commander on Monday, recorded a video showing himself bleeding and claimed that he was attacked while he was en route to the airport along with his wife in their car, by the call centre employee (Vikas Kumar), who was on his bike. The officer who accused the biker of abusing him and his wife in Kannada, also goes on in the video to allege that the people gathered there too "abused" him and his wife accusing them of being wrong. "...this is what Karnataka has become, I believed in Kannada, but seeing the truth, the reality of main heartland Karnataka, I couldn't believe it. God help us..." he said. Police subsequently registered a case against the call centre employee, based on a complaint from Bose's wife, Squadron Leader Madhumita Dutta, and he was later arrested. However, CCTV footage from cameras in the vicinity of the incident that surfaced later revealed that Bose had assaulted Kumar. The footage that went viral showed Bose knocking Kumar down and also repeatedly kicking him. The incident has triggered sharp public reactions and renewed debate on language politics and regional tensions in the city. (With PTI inputs)
