Bengaluru is a city for the rich. You must have a lot of money here. There is no denying this. Be it housing, transport, eating, or entertainment. Every aspect of human life is costly here.
When I started searching for a house, I was amazed at the rent people were paying. A decent 2BHK house comes for anything between 13K to 16K. The deposit is always 10 times. The logic of 10 times eludes me. Those who are lucky can find a decent place for less.
The auto-walas here are the worst of the lot. They are just not willing to go where you want to go. The buses, as usual, are always overcrowded.
Entertainment deserves a special mention here. The multi-plexes here are very very costly. Tickets have to be booked a week in advance. Some times, even 2 weekes in advance.
All in all, it is a very expensive city. Those who migrate to this city should take into account the expense ratio before making hasty decisions.

so do you think you made a hasty decision :-)
tickets 2 weeks in advance... naaahhh... not that much :-)

Continuing on the same topic, I read today in TOI that people have started accussing IT people of making their lives miserable by jacking up the cost-of-living. The person who wrote to the editor was complaining about how IT folks poach their servants by paying them higher. There is a lot of truth in what he said.
A lot of IT guys (including me) are also facing the brunt of own deeds or those of our comrades.
जैसी करनी वैसी भरनी!! :-)
well you never mind when you get an atrociously high pay right? Infact this is what I have been debating with a lot of people who prefer things old way. I ask them look your salaries have increased to twice or thrice of what they used to be a few years back, then why don't you pay the people from whom you get the work done as much? that is twice or thrice?
its quite true..the rent part is the worst.but then its all supply demand.
s/w companies usally pay the 10 month advance and IT folks dont mind paying a bit higher..and new people move in every day.
