India is spread with happening metropolitan cities. Cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore have extremely upbeat and outgoing people. With easy access to entertainment, latest trending fashion and technology and a fast-moving lifestyle, once living in a city becomes a habit, it's hard to live elsewhere.
But the fast-pace life of a city can sometimes get on your nerves. Traffic jams, polluted air, tight schedules, endless routine and expensive living can be exhausting and you might look for an escape. But since city life is also addictive, it might be hard to switch.
If you've been facing such dilemmas then put your thoughts to rest and read about the relatively less-competitive, easy-going cities of India that you can try switching to.
Chandigarh
One of the most beautifully designed cities of India, Chandigarh is not just a union territory, but also capital to both Haryana and Punjab.

Apart from being home to fashionable youth, Chandigarh is one of the cleanest cities of India; all the more reasons for it to be the ideal city to settle in!
