New Delhi: In an unusual event, a Bengali woman living in Bengaluru attempted to spend a day in the city with just Rs 500. The influencer, Priyanka Mondal,
shared a video on social media, showing a glimpse of how she spends the day within a limited budget in one of the expensive cities in India.
Mondal began her day by eating idlis and travelled in the metro since cabs were out of budget. Later on, she took a tea break before heading to lunch. It was the most challenging part of the day, as the lunch prices are quite high in the city.
“When it was time for lunch, just looking at the menu almost gave me a shock because of the prices. But somehow, I managed to fix a meal within Rs 120,” she said.

In the evening, she grabbed a vada pav and a cup of tea. Her purse was telling her to move back to her home. However, Monday ended the day with some money in hand. At the end of the day, she managed to save Rs 200 and showed how anyone can survive in Bengaluru with a minimum budget.
She captioned the video as “Bengaluru me Rs 500 me pura din survive kiya. Sach bolu… survive ho gaya, and enjoy bhi kiya.”
The video drew attention on social media as the users were impressed with her attempt. One user said, “This is actually impressive, especially in Bengaluru, where even a coffee costs a lot.”
Several users credited Metro as the real deal, claiming that if they travelled in Metro, Rs 500 would not be enough for a day.
