A candid chat with Nimish Bhatia , Chef and Restaurateur, about what makes Bengaluru a favourite cityI have visited half the world and yet Bengaluru is the only city I love to live in. This multicultural city accepts everyone. Delhi is snooty. Chennai and Kolkata are too traditional.Mumbai is politicised. Bengalureans are a bunch of happy-go-lucky people. Whether you drive a Maruti or a BMW, Bengalureans will care for you anyways.I have lived here in several instalments for the past 27 years till it became permanent home. In 1992, when I first stayed here, I remember falling in love with the city's clean and green roads. Bengaluru then ended at Mehkri circle . There was no summer or winter. We enjoyed chilled beer throughout the year. It was paradise. Friends advised me to open a restaurant in Delhi. But my heart was set on Bengaluru.I would get the traffic situation sorted.I agree that there has been a population influx. But other cities manage to handle it. By the time a flyover project ends in Bengaluru, we fall 20 years behind again. I would form a committee to understand it scientifically, install more signals, build more flyovers, employ strict lane-discipline and train auto and bus drivers for smooth public transport flow.Food critic Kripal Amanna is my favourite Bengalurean because he has worked towards putting our city on the national F&B map. I remember his event Chefs for Charity in early 2000, where he connected people of leisure, the chefs and the needy.Nobody thought of this chain of connectivity in F&B circles.I would probably live in Chandigarh.Simply because it reminds me of Bengaluru in many ways. Its climate and people are just like that of our city.Chandigarh is also a multicultural IT city.In fact, it has cleaner roads with traffic discipline, which makes it quite livable.
