In this episode of The Tenant, we meet a couple who decided to settle in Bengaluru’s Electronic City, attracted by its affordability and good air quality. However, despite their initial excitement, they soon found themselves facing challenges in communicating as Hindi speakers in a predominantly Kannada-speaking city.
The couple also discusses the exaggerated water scarcity issue and the lack of malls and multiplexes in Electronic City, which has made their experience less enjoyable. But it’s not just these practical issues that have caused them problems – they’ve also struggled with the heavy traffic, unpredictable weather, and cultural differences in Bengaluru. These challenges have made them question whether the city can truly be their permanent home.
Despite these difficulties, the couple has tried to embrace and adapt to the local culture. Tune in to hear more about their journey and the unique experiences faced by tenants in a new city.
