In the clip, she is heard saying, “Struggling in Bengaluru is completely normal, but if you follow this 30 day plan, things can become much easier. In the first week, focus on settling in by arranging a temporary stay instead of searching for the perfect home right away. In the second week, understand how much time your daily commute takes, as this can be a real game changer in Bengaluru. By the third week, start building a routine by sorting out your food, groceries and daily habits, otherwise the month can feel chaotic. In the final week, take time to explore the city and meet new people, because without that, the city may never truly feel like your own. Bengaluru can be challenging, but with the right plan, it becomes much easier to navigate and enjoy.”
