In 2019 a percolation pond was created in a village in Tamil Nadu, India. The entire village came together to support the work as the villagers were concerned about reduction in water level in the region.

This is the AMAZING result .

What would you say is the wealthiest part of Bangalore? I’m curious if this a common street in Bangalore or in a more upscale location. Also, how would one know which parts of Indian cities are wealthier areas? For example, Some areas in Mumbai look relatively plain but are considered wealthy areas, such as in the video by Peter Santenello

The locality shown in Peter's video is indeed one of the most expensive areas in the city, but he has not shown the best parts of it. South Mumbai is gorgeous in parts (I lived there for 17 years) but will not wow a first timer. It grows on you. One of the reasons it is expensive is because it is one of the older parts of Mumbai, and in Mumbai old is expensive. A lot of Boho as well as old money crowd lives in South Mumbai.

Bangalore is very evenly distributed in terms of wealth. No poor areas and no extremely rich areas. The road shown here is actually an arterial road. A utilitarian area looking nice because of cherry blossoms in this season. They are all over the city and make even average areas look pretty.

Here is a photo I clicked on my phone on Sunday in a park in Central Bangalore. This time yellow bloom.

Actually the area indeed is very rich, but afaik is not a great location thanks to Dharavi nearby. Also Mumbai has a lot of great looking places, some Victorian architecture can also be witnessed. SoBo is very great area and many people love driving in SoBo.

Southern india seems a lot more pleasant and peaceful for a number of reasons. Is it just a perception, or is there really something to it. Perhaps it has a lot to do with the climate, cooler and wetter?

BTW, how would I know which areas in each Indian city are considered rich areas? Is there any official list or metric one could judge? (I suppose rent prices come to mind)

Bangalore has really made the most of the last 30 years of India’s IT boom. Probably one of the nicest places for a foreigner to live, if their company sends them to work in India, from an amenities point of view.

In Delhi I haven’t seen any “Rich” areas, Delhi NCR is mostly middle class guys. Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata for example have a lot of rich people, expensive high rises get sold out within days of launch in Hyd for example.
