Bengaluru, known for its typically pleasant weather, is facing an unusual heatwave this year, prompting residents to adapt in various ways. One woman, identified as @bhargavi_jha on Instagram, decided to install an air conditioner to cope with the rising temperatures. However, her choice has led to significant online trolling, with many users expressing that buying an AC feels out of character for true Bengaluru residents. Some comments humorously suggested that waiting for the rains is the traditional response. Beyond the trolling, the discussion has shifted towards serious environmental concerns, including the drastic reduction of the city’s green cover from 78% to 6%, attributed to overcrowding and illegal construction. Users emphasized that the city's climate issues are largely a result of human activity, urging for more tree planting and responsible urban planning. While some believe the heatwave will soon pass with the arrival of the monsoon, the conversation highlights the pressing need for a collective effort in addressing climate change in Bengaluru.
