Yes, Bangalore weather is great. But why ?


This is the singlemost question every bangalorean (& also non-bangalorean) has wondered at some point of time. 

Traffic might be worst, road might me bad, but weather is great.

Let's find out why. 

Let's start with a question ; what exactly do we check before declaring a weather good or bad ? 

There can be several factors, but these 2 stand out : 

1) Temperature 

Few months back I went to Odisha. As soon as I came out of airplane I could feel a strong sensation in my body. The atmosphere was hot (temperature). So I started to sweat. 

2) Humidity 

At the same time my face started to get moist(humidity). I had to use face wash multiple times a day to stay fresh.  

The exact opposite happens when you return to Bangalore. Temperature reduces. You also feel fresh (even without face wash).  

Now coming back to our question "Why is it so ?" 

Short answer : Because of its geography. 

Long answer : Keep reading...

1) Temperature : 

The forest penetration in Odisha & Karnataka is 33% & 22% respectively. One might think, then Odisha should be cooler compared to Karnataka (Bangalore). But actually its not.

Bangalore is cooler because of its incredible height above sea level. For example, the height of Bhubaneswar & Chennai are 45m & 10m above sea level. 

Now can you guess the height of Bangalore ? 

Just take a guess.

900m. Boom. 

Yes, thats right. 

As you know, when we gain altitude temperature reduces. 

2) Humidity : 

In the map of India, if you draw a horizontal line through Bangalore it touches two cities. Chennai in east & Mangalore in west. One might think, then all 3 cities will feel the same. But actually its not.

Chennai & Mangalore are highly humid because of their vicinity to sea. While Bangalore lies almost in the middle of the line joining Arabian sea (Mangalore) & Bay of bengal (Chennai). So the effect of sea reduces drastically.

Now the detailed answer is not limited to what I explained. There is also the added advantage of 2 monsoons (unlike 1 monsoon in Chennai) in Bangalore, which helps to lower the temperature. Also due to western ghat during rainy season the weather never goes to its extreme. So here you can get a swift & consistent rainfall the entire rainy season (even beyond).  

You can Google more about it.

And for now, I think that's enough. 

So I will see you guys the next time. Till then, bye bye. 😊

Anxiety : A Constantly Degrading Gen-Z Problem...

Since the beginning of 2012, a time when smartphones entered Indian market in leaps & bounds, something has changed. This is the time when the early Gen-Zs (born between 1996 to 2001) were in their high-school years, mid Gen-Zs (2003 to 2007) were in their primary-school years & lower Gen-Zs (2008 to 2012) were in their Childhood years.  Gone are the times of Nokia, when phones were used for calls, messages, alarm clock & snake games. As time passed phones grew smarter. The design focus shifted from general utility to user experience. Then from user experience to addictive user experience.  Powered by cutting edge chips, high end software designs, AI insertion & rigorous software updates smartphones grew from basic to prime to ultra-prime. While this is a boon for a majority of generations, like the millennials, who have the necessary self control to use them with caution, the younger generations (Gen-Zs & lower) had to confront something totally alien....

Who the hell is this guy posting random stuff ?

A Self-Introduction to Me : Some of you know me (through Facebook), most of you don't. Ofcourse because I am an introvert who likes to shut himself in a room than going out to meet people in real. So today, although it's been late, I will introduce myself (just in case, you are wondering where am I coming from).. My name is Jyoti-blah-blah-blah. I am an alumni of CET from the branch of Electrical Engineering. At my home, in Dhenkanal, my friends call me Chintu while my friends at CET call me RANGA BHAI (out of affection) & nobody calls me Jyotiranjan.  I got into this writing-thing in 2015 while using Facebook. The more I wrote the more I found things to write about & eventually enjoyed it more than engineering (yes, I must admit). Since then I have written on Facebook for 8 years till 2023 & still continuing this blog. I was born in the same year Titanic released in USA & Dil Toh Pagal Hai released in India. 1997. I hope you understand what I am trying to say ...

Sukua : The Boy behind an Innocent Scandal

He was like an animal from a different planet. Very fondly his parents named him "Sukua". He was 15 & was working as a helper at SAHU'S KITCHEN, a 3 star hotel. But you don't know him if you don't know about his beloved. Nothing makes him happier than the smell of his beloved, rum.   Every night, after work, he would keep pushing Sahu Mausa, the hotel owner, for a 100ml bottle of rum & as usual, mausa would come up with his regular response "Shut up ". But what bothers him most is when he catches Sahu Mausa passing a bottle to Bisu (his senior co-worker), every single night. But oneday, he got an idea.  After his job, he reached the hotel bunker & broke the news : " Fire. Fire. Hotel on fire ". Every other staff rushed outside only to discover that it was a prank pulled by Sukua. They returned to the bunker to make it even with Sukua, but he was sitting like a stone. Not a single word. Just a weird look on his face & eyes toward...
