World number 1....

Yes, our city has been given this world number 1 place but it's nothing to be proud of. In fact this is our everyday trouble and a big nightmare. If one of the news that just flashed on my mobile has to be believed, our city Bangalore/Bengaluru has been declared as number one in worst traffic across the world. 
That be followed by some place in Philippines on number two. Few more cities in India get their ranks in top 20.
Traffic is a killer here. I am just back driving my daughter back home in one of the worst traffic. I am feeling tired and definitely deserve a nap
I will be here till my eyes really close.

indeed. But, I like Bangalore because it has wonderful gardens and pubs! It is good to know that you are a 'write until you drop'
person. I too write a lot.

@arunima25 Arunima, I don't know if this will help but I keep the sun in my face when I write. Staying in the warm glow 
helps me relax. But, when I go inside, I rely on the background picture to keep the glow alive.
About opportunities, there are iWriter, Upwork, and Fiverr. They shut down Wikinut some time back. It was a favorite haunt for most people.

@gofsey You sound like me. I keep my laptop and work table in one of the extended balconies. Keeps the sunlight coming there and I don't need to use any artificial light in daytime.
Thanks for your input. I will explore them.

Now this garden city has become a concrete jungle. Yes the pub culture and weekend night life is an attraction still here.It is good to know that you love to write. I would like some guidance from you to get some good writing opportunities.

Delhi has improved because of more elevated roads and flyovers but pollution is very bad too.

Yes it was there in top 20 but much below Bangalore. Delhi roads are broad and so less congestion. Bangalore was a small state capital and never expected such a sudden growth.

I was in Bangalore for a few days in June-July 2000 and then in May 2007.
On the first occasion, it did feel truly like a Garden city.
Yet on the second time, in 2007 it had started getting congested.
And I believe that now it is getting even more congested.
Looks like public transport and Metro Rail need to be expanded faster.

I was in Bangalore for the first time in 1967 along with the school tour, then again in 1969 and continued going there after the gap of one year or so and every time i went there i noticed the change it was transforming itself into. Last time I was in Bangalore was in 2003. A lot must have changed since then.

I came here in 2000 just after my marriage and was here for few months. I really loved the place. But then I was out of India for almost 11 years and when I came back to Bangalore , it was a completely different city. And it is getting worse. It is no more a garden city. It is a concrete jungle now.

@msdivkar A lot has changed in last five years and it has made the city a mess. It is a concrete jungle with all unplanned development and it's ever going construction. It is horrible now.

Well, that is a sign of city prosperity which is undermining the quality of living.

It's the corruption and mismanagement to be blamed. They have reduced a garden city to a concrete jungle. We have lost all the greenery that the city had.

Once you see this traffic, you will fall in love with New York City traffic. I did drive in New York City. Here the lack of traffic sense in people add up to the misery.

@arunima25 yes, I have heard about the chaotic traffic jam in Manila that's why I don't like to land there when I fly home to the Philippines.

Yes. It is Manilla. Seems like the traffic there too is very chaotic like ours here.

This city was a beautiful place with a pleasant weather through out. It was called the Garden city. But all ongoing construction, population and unplanned growth has turned it into a concrete jungle. We have lost all the greenery owing to these development.
