Bengaluru resident voices concerns over the deterioration of Jayanagar in a viral post, stating, 'We have sold what our ancestors constructed.'
If Jayanagar's once-peaceful charm has left you despondent, you're not alone. A heartfelt social media post—shared far and wide— Consider this a quick snapshot of the Bengaluru resident's lament; a testament to the transformation of Jayanagar from a serene neighborhood into a bustling commercial hub.
The now-viral post memoirizes the area's heyday, reminiscing about the days when the quiet locality, built by prior generations, reigned supreme. The sentiments echo across the city, resonating with many a Bengalurean.
The story of Jayanagar, it seems, is not an isolated incident. Across the city, once-quiet neighborhoods like Vijayanagara and Chandra Layout are morphing under the relentless weight of commercialism. Residents, unable to withstand the cacophony, struggle and adapt to a new reality.
Change, though inevitable, has come with a cost. As rapid development transforms the cityscape, some worry about the consequences. The proliferation of Paying Guest accommodations, often built without adhering to building norms, has raised concerns. Bengaluru's status as the "PG capital of the world" casts a long shadow, casting doubt on the sustainability and longevity of this rapid pace of change.
Despite the challenges posed, life goes on, and with it, a constant bid to preserve what's left of the past, while looking ahead to a future shaped by a delicate balance between tradition and modernization. Change is inevitable, but the question remains: At what cost?
Cricket games in those spacious Jayanagar home-and-garden courts seem to have given way to city's constant and chaotic symphony of traffic.
