Things that slowly disappeared from Bengaluru, according to the internet

Bengaluru has changed a lot in the last 20 years. But what exactly has silently disappeared from the city we once knew?

A Reddit post asked this question-and the answers brought back memories, smiles, and a few sighs.

Here’s what longtime Bengalureans say the city has lost.

Once a common sight in Bengaluru, sparrows are now rarely seen. "Not seen in years," one user said.

“Thank you” has become “ok.” “Excuse me” turned into “side-u.” Many say basic manners have faded.

Bengaluru once loved rock and metal. Now? Loud “dhin-chik” music rules the clubs, users say.

Affordable pubs with good playlists are disappearing. Today’s spots are louder, fancier and more expensive.

“Even the idli is changing,” one joked. Now it's all about podi and ghee.

Big trees and old bungalows are making way for glass buildings.

Home garages are rare now. People park on pavements instead.
