"Got To Bookmark This": Bengaluru Woman's Unique Ad For Flatmate Goes Viral

Bengaluru, India's startup capital, is known for its unique culture and allure that keeps inviting people to work there. The city has recently also been the focus of several online memes that highlight the unique events that could only happen there. Many stories of "peak Bengaluru" moments can be found all over the internet. Now, a Bengaluru woman's post on X for a flatmate is going viral on social media because of its unique approach. User Udisha Madan, an independent designer from the Srishti Institute of Design Art & Technology, is looking for a flatmate to share her 2BHK house in Koramangala.

For her advertisement, Ms Madan likely used a design app to share photographs and information about the house. "Flatmate Alert! Hey folks! I'm looking for a female flatmate for my 2BHK in 8th Block, Koramangala, at a 5-minute walk from DYU Art Cafe," she wrote in the caption of her post. Ms Madan also revealed the other details, including the rent price, deposit and move-in date. "Please repost for visibility & DM for deets!" she added.

Earlier, another Bengaluru woman's unique approach to finding a flatmate had gone viral on social media. Karuna Tata aged 22, set up profiles of her room on popular dating applications like Tinder and Hinge to find a person who could replace her as a flatmate in her current house. 

Ms Tata took to X and shared that her room is named as "Kholi number 420", referencing the popular song from Amitabh Bachchan's film 'Amar Akbar Antony'. She stated that the room is part of a three-bedroom apartment in Singasandra and is close to pharmacies and supermarkets. Further, there are no restrictions on vegetarians or non-vegetarians. According to the profile's bio, the room is a "queen of aesthetics" and is searching for a committed partner.
