Which area in Bangalore would you recommend for a single person to live in, and why?
I'm looking for a place that's safe, has good connectivity, decent food options, and an overall good quality of life. I'd love to hear your recommendations and experiences.

I'm struggling to move on from what was either a breakup or something that never officially became a relationship.
We started as friends, then both developed feelings. We both knew there was something more, and we were already behaving like we were in a relationship in many ways. Then one day she decided not to pursue it, but never clearly communicated that to me. Her actions and words kept giving me mixed signals, so I believed we were still moving toward something.
When I finally confronted her, she admitted she had feelings too but said she wasn't emotionally ready for a relationship and that we'd be better off as friends.
We tried being friends, but the lines stayed blurred. When I brought it up again, she denied there was anything more and said she had always seen me as just a friend. That left me feeling confused and questioning my own reality.
I spent a long time trying to get clarity. I chased, begged, and kept asking for honest answers. Instead, I got more distance and more ambiguity. Eventually I realized she had emotionally checked out long before I did. One day my self-respect finally kicked in and I ended contact.
Even after that, I had periods where I'd reach out again. About 3 months ago I finally cut contact completely.
What makes it even harder is that she feels like a complete stranger to me now.
At one point, I felt like I knew her deeply. I shared everything openly—my thoughts, fears, feelings, hopes. I was probably the most emotionally honest I've ever been with anyone.
Now, I genuinely have no idea what she feels, what she thinks of me, whether she misses me, regrets anything, or if she has completely moved on. The contrast between how close we once felt and how little I know now is something I still struggle to come to terms with.
What makes this so hard is not knowing whether there was ever a real future here, or whether I'm holding onto hope because I genuinely believed we were "it" for each other. We haven't spoken in a long time, and she has made no attempt to reconnect.
Logically, I know I should focus on my own life. Emotionally, a part of me still wonders whether she'll ever come back, regret it, or try again.
For people who have been through something similar: how did you make peace with never getting the answers you wanted?
Hey everyone,
I recently got the base Pixel 10, and I feel like I'm losing my mind because none of the major reviews or tech videos mentioned this.
Every time I take a photo of a person or a selfie, the picture looks fine in the viewfinder for a split second. But once Google's background processing kicks in, the face completely breaks apart. If I try to zoom in even a little bit inside Google Photos, skin, hair, and facial features look incredibly pixelated, muddy, and distorted—almost like a weird watercolor or oil painting effect instead of a clean, clear photo.
I want to be able to zoom in on a face in my gallery and see sharp, normal details, but on my Pixel 10, it just looks broken and heavily over-processed.
I’ve already tried:
Nothing fixes it. It feels like a massive waste of money to buy a flagship phone marketed for its camera, only to have the software completely destroy human faces with over-sharpening and digital artifacts.
Is anyone else noticing this on the regular Pixel 10? Is there ANY hidden setting to completely disable this aggressive face processing, or is this just a permanent hardware/software limitation of the base model?
Should i switch to iphone?
