Bengaluru Vs Noida: The Vial Post
In a post shared on X, Sajith Pai said that he had shifted to Bengaluru earlier this month and was shocked to see the high expenses, specifically household expenses like ironing clothes.
"I moved to BLR earlier this month, and one thing that genuinely surprised me was how expensive ironing is here," he wrote.
"I moved to BLR earlier this month, and one thing that genuinely surprised me was how expensive ironing is here," he wrote.
Pai said that he was paying around Rs 5 per clothing item in Noida and expected Bengaluru to be on the slightly more expensive side. But he was shocked to know the rates across Indiranagar, which ranged between Rs 12 and Rs 20.
What surprised Pai that people who had shifted from Mumbai also felt the silicon city's iron prices were unusually high.
He highlighted that several ironing vendors in the city use LPG-powered irons instead of coal irons that are still used in North India.
Pai's second theory quickly caught the attention of the netizens, in which he said that coal is easily available in NCR cities, which helps keep ironing costs lower.
"I genuinely don't know, but would love to hear theories behind Bengaluru's ironing economics," he joked in the post.
Netizens turned the comments section into a debate zone.
" 7 for regular ironing and 20 for steam press here. Reading some of these prices honestly shocked me. Never thought another city could outdo Mumbai in basic expenses," a user from Thane said.
In Surat the ironing costs are around Rs 10, a user said.
Other users compared Bengaluru and Hyderabad ironing prices. They said that a few years ago, the prices were around Rs 7 per piece in Bengaluru, but Hyderabad rates have recently touched Rs 15 20.
Netizens said that the ironing vendor increased rates after LPG cylinder prices shot up.
