Woman shares Bengaluru’s ‘advantages and disadvantages’
In the video, Aryaa said, "I was there in Bengaluru for almost three years. So today I'm going to share certain advantages and disadvantages while living in Bengaluru. Start with the disadvantage: huge traffic, hard water, poor waste management, and Bengaluru roads are all mess. Now let's start with the advantages. Weather. I mean, I'm not able to tolerate my own city's weather right now because Bengaluru's weather pampered me so much. The weather is great over there."
