Here¡¯s How The Internet Reacted To His Tweet:

Sharma's post resonated with a lot of Bengaluru citizens.

¡°People don't come to Bengaluru thinking about the weather. They come to Bengaluru and then realise the weather is/was great. People here are kind and want everyone to win; young folks want people playing non-zero-sum games, and I don't see that happening anywhere else but here,¡± wrote Srijan R Shetty, an entrepreneur.

Another user said, ¡°Probably an unpopular opinion, but it¡¯s pretty straightforward now. It¡¯s not just about weather and water. There are many other indicators. If you can afford it, leave. Period.¡± Sharma responded saying, ¡°the reasons to leave the city strengthen every day¡±.

A hopeful user said, ¡°Bangalore will get incrementally better , especially because the traffic woes will start to get better in the next 3 years as the new metro lines come on stream, the areas to avoid is the crescent from hoskote road to Hosur Road, beyond that Bangalore is a wonderful city¡±

Another commented, ¡°In India - Only Hyderabad is liveable out of major cities. Gurgaon and Noida can be 2nd and 3rd. Chandigarh could have been the winner - but hardly any private sector jobs there.¡±
