When Rohit Doshi, a techie based in Bengaluru, decided it was time to move on, he turned to LinkedIn to pen a heartfelt tribute to the city he called home. In a post that’s since struck a chord with many, Rohit bid farewell to what he calls Bengaluru—not just a workplace, but as a chapter of life filled with stories, friendships, and filter coffee.
He reminisced about his time in the city, capturing the rhythm of Bengaluru life with affection and humour. From late-night coffee runs to Rameshwaram Cafe to impromptu sunrise trips to Nandi Hills. He painted a vivid picture of a city that buzzes with energy yet somehow teaches you to slow down.
Rohit’s journey took him through iconic landmarks like Cubbon Park, MG Road, Church Street, and Lalbagh, while food joints like Airlines Hotel and Raasta Café became regular pit stops. Though he joked about barely using the metro—thanks to its limited reach—he also shared his “Bengaluru ride-booking wisdom”: the joy of being the ‘chosen one’ when an auto driver actually shows up.
Of course, Bengaluru wasn’t all sunshine. Rohit didn’t shy away from mentioning the traffic nightmares, the soaring cost of living, and the city’s uncanny ability to rain just when you forget your umbrella. Yet, even in its chaos, he found calm—and wisdom. The city, he wrote, taught him how to adapt, how to embrace unpredictability, and how to find joy in small things. Bengaluru wasn’t always easy, he said—but it was always worth it.
