Yep, I stayed in Bangalore for 3 months. For one or two months there we had daily 3+ hour power outages. I lived in the outskirts and when taking a bus to Bangalore Proper, it can take 3 hours standing in a packed and overheated bus. There are animals roaming around and garbage everywhere. I had giardia (a kind of intestinal parasite) from unfiltered water resulting in diarrhea 5+ times a day for half my time there. The landlord didn't rent by contract and the terms and payments kept changing. No one wanted to sell a foreigner a sim card so I had no sim the entire time.
For its reputation as a garden and tech city, I'm not impressed.
