In this episode of The Tenant, we meet a couple who have chosen to settle in Bengaluru’s Electronic City. They were initially drawn to the area because of its affordability and good air quality. However, they soon realized that communication was a major challenge, as they primarily speak Hindi. This language barrier made it difficult for them to fully integrate and feel like locals in their new city.
The couple also discuss issues such as the exaggerated water scarcity problem in Electronic City, as well as the lack of malls and multiplexes in the area. These factors made it challenging for them to enjoy the same conveniences that they were used to in their previous city. Additionally, they found that traffic, weather, and cultural differences in Bengaluru posed further obstacles to feeling at home in their new environment.
Overall, these challenges have caused the couple to question whether Bengaluru is truly the right place for them to settle down permanently. Despite their initial hopes for a positive experience in Electronic City, they have faced a number of hurdles that have made them feel like outsiders rather than locals in their new community. Tune in to hear more about their journey and struggles firsthand.
