The couple shares their struggles with heavy traffic, unpredictable weather, and cultural differences in Bengaluru. Despite their efforts to embrace and adapt to the local culture, they feel like outsiders at times. Tune in to hear more about their journey and the unique experiences faced by tenants in a new city.
