Saying goodbye to a city one has admired and spent a crucial time at can be a heartwarming experience, especially when that city is as vibrant and chaotic as Bengaluru. For many, Bengaluru is a place of late-night filter coffee runs, impromptu weekend getaways to the Nandi Hills, and the hum of tech dreams that seem to buzz around every street corner.
And while it's a city that tests your patience with its traffic snarls and unpredictable rains, it's also one that rewards you with friendships, stories, and moments to carry with you long after you leave.
Recently, a Bengaluru local, Rohit Doshi, poured out all his feelings in an overwhelming farewell post that has since gone viral. He totally captured what living in Bengaluru feels like by listing all the iconic landmarks and outing places that people relate to!
What did he mention in his post?
Rohit remembered late-night trips for filter coffee at Rameshwaram Café and early morning rides to Nandi Hills.
He wrote Bengaluru was 'a place that would always stay' with him, a city that 'never really slept but also knew how to slow down.' These simple moments between coffee, friends, hills became the heartbeat of his Bengaluru story.
Rohit talked about the charm amid chaos
Rohit didn't shy away from talking about the city's flaws. He talked about metro connections, surge-prone cab fares, and sudden rains that everyone forgot to remember. But even in those frustrations, he found something uniquely Bengaluru, including the rare instances when a cab driver actually shows up on time.

That, he joked, was 'pure joy. You feel chosen.' His note also talked about how unpredictable weather and traffic were part of the city's character.
He also reflected on what Bengaluru taught him, 'How to stay on your toes, how to find calm in chaos, and how unpredictable weather can be a personality trait.' For Rohit, Bengaluru became an unexpected life coach, influencing their resilience, adaptability, and also his sense of humour.
His post has gone viral among Bengalureans
As his post went viral, thousands of Bengalureans connected with his farewell. One user wrote, 'This city really does leave you with stories, scars, and a strangely comforting love for chaos.' Another added, 'Bengaluru really has a vibe, from filter coffee to unexpected life lessons.' In the end, Rohit concluded, saying, 'You weren't always easy, Bengaluru. But you were always worth it.'
Why has his post become so popular?
Rohit's farewell isn't just a goodbye; it's a love letter in disguise. It also summarises the contradictions that define Bengaluru, along with its ability to frustrate, inspire, challenge, and comfort all at once. His reflections remind us why so many are drawn back, ready for another cup of coffee, another ride, another chance to be shaped by this one-of-a-kind city.
