Sucked in by urbanisation and beautified by stunning natural surroundings, Bengaluru (Bangalore) is one of the most iconic cities in India and swears to take you by the throat raw into a world of booming technology. As much as it is a land devoted to the digital development of the nation, where the internet of things makes sense; it’s also a place that runs with magical velocity and will put every other city’s organised events to shame.
This is a list of reasons why Bangalore will ruin you for life. Get Bangalored for all the good reasons!
1. Bangaloreans are bouncing on two sides of the same coin, where it pushes one to aim for the progress that this city offers and bags plenty of options to chill out and unwind.

2. Bangaloreans have good reason to party.
After all, it’s the pub capital of India and has a couple of microbreweries with excellent craft beer. If microbreweries don’t tickle your fancy, there’re so many pubs with imported beers – German and Belgian to begin with. Spoilt for choice!
