Techie, who recently moved to Bengaluru, has an incentive to learn Kannada: 24X7 natural AC when other parts of India are sizzling hot now
A young professional who recently moved to Bengaluru for work has found himself completely captivated by the city's charm, particularly its weather. After spending just a few months in what's often called the
Silicon Valley of India
, he shared his admiration online, expressing how the pleasant climate felt like a gift compared to the sweltering heat he was used to. Having lived most of his life in regions where the mercury frequently soared above 40°C, the consistent coolness of Bengaluru felt almost unreal to him—like the city was naturally air-conditioned throughout the day and night.
This refreshing environment made such an impression on him that he felt inspired to take a deeper step toward blending in — by learning Kannada, the regional language. His post reflected genuine amazement and gratitude toward the city's livability, suggesting that the weather alone made it feel like paradise after years of enduring extreme heat.
As the post made its way through the subreddit dedicated to Bengaluru, responses poured in from locals and fellow residents. Some chose humor to join the conversation, joking about how the cozy, overcast weather made them want to curl up indoors — except their office demanded they attend meetings instead. One witty commenter even wished him a playful tumble into a puddle, while others took a more welcoming tone.
Several replies highlighted the warmth and kindness that often defines Bengalureans. One user encouraged the newcomer to respect the city and its people, promising that any goodwill shown would be returned many times over. They even offered assistance in helping him pick up Kannada, reinforcing the community's hospitable nature.
Another user chimed in with their personal experience, sharing how most locals are generally accommodating and open-minded, provided one approaches them with patience and humility. The message was clear: while Bengaluru offers comfortable weather and a vibrant culture, what truly sets it apart is the attitude of its residents. A spirit of mutual respect and friendliness thrives in the city, and those who embrace it usually find themselves feeling right at home.
In the end, the young man's experience reflects how Bengaluru's climate, coupled with its community's warmth, can win over newcomers in just a matter of months.

This Bengaluru Recruiter Rejected A Rs 40 LPA Candidate For Being ‘Too Logical'
Last Updated: Instead of offering a practical or intuitive response, the candidate took the question a bit too seriously, and he answered it with a logical explanation. A Bengaluru-based recruiter has sparked widespread discussion online after revealing an unusual reason for rejecting a candidate. In a now-viral LinkedIn post, the interviewer, Sandeep Lokanath, shared that he turned down a product manager applicant for a Rs 40 LPA role. The reason? He attempted to explain the city's unpredictable weather—"too logically". Sandeep Lokanath shared a post on LinkedIn and narrated how a simple, seemingly quirky question in the interview turned into an unexpected deal-breaker. The question was, 'How many days in a year should someone carry an umbrella in Bengaluru?" Instead of offering a practical or intuitive response, the candidate took the question a bit too seriously, and he answered it with a logical explanation. The interviewer further revealed, 'Whips out a notepad. Talks about monsoon trends, probability distributions, historical rainfall data, commute hour segmentation, complex test scenarios… and then proudly says, 'So, 55.7 days, with a 95 per cent confidence interval.'" But rather than being impressed, the interviewer looked at him and responded, 'Wrong." In the post, he goes on to explain why this hyper-rational answer didn't land well. 'Bengaluru is not just another city. You don't calculate rain here. You sense it in your bones. You carry an umbrella even on a sunny day, just in case," Sandeep wrote, pointing to the city's unpredictable weather patterns. He clarified that the candidate wasn't rejected due to poor math skills. In his post, the recruiter explained that the candidate was turned down because he attempted to 'reduce Bengaluru, a city of clouds, gardens, and surprises, to just another dot on the map." Speaking of Bengaluru rains, the city has officially logged its wettest May on record, with a cumulative rainfall of 307.9 mm between May 1 and May 26 (as of 11:30 am), according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). This breaks the previous record of 305.4 mm set in May 2023. With the IMD predicting light to moderate showers until May 31, Bengalureans might want to keep those umbrellas close. Prior to this, IMD data showed that May 2022 held the record with 270.4 mm of rainfall, followed by May 2017 with 241.9 mm and May 2018 with 239.8 mm. First Published:
