Things to do·3 min read

The city has plans tonight. Finding them is the hard part.

Gigs on one app, meetups on another, pop-ups on Instagram. Nothing is filed by the one thing that decides whether you go: where you live.

Bangalore does more on a random Tuesday than most cities manage on New Year’s. A gig in a brewery, a founder meetup or three, a 6 am run club, a pop-up selling somebody’s grandmother’s recipes out of a compound in HSR. The city is never not doing something.

Finding it is the hard part. The concert is on BookMyShow. The meetup is on Luma. The run club is in a WhatsApp group you are not in. The pop-up is on Instagram, where you will see it tomorrow, after it is over. Everything is filed by what kind of thing it is. Nothing is filed by where it is.

But where is the whole question. Nobody crosses Silk Board at 8 pm on a weeknight for a maybe. The gig that matters to you is the one twenty minutes from your gate, and that is exactly the one no app will surface, because to every app you are a city of ten million, not a person standing in Indiranagar wondering what tonight holds.

File the city by neighbourhood

That is what the feed here is turning into. Something happening near you? Post it, in your area, with the link. We are not precious about this: if the ticket is on BookMyShow, link BookMyShow. The point is that someone in HSR scrolling HSR finds out what HSR is doing this weekend.

The same goes for the quieter stuff that never gets a poster. The dosa place that is suddenly worth the queue. The startup that just took the office upstairs and is hiring. A neighbourhood is not only rents and water pressure. It is what there is to do within a kilometre of your gate.

We cannot post all of it. We do not know your street. You do.
