Hi,
I am not sure about the school, contract etc but I have lived in Bangalore for 2 years and I am an Indian national. Bangalore is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in India and it can incredibly rewarding to live there. It is quite westernized and you can enjoy western style multiplexes, shopping malls, restaurants, fast food places and it is considerably easy city to live in for foreigners when compared to some other smaller cities in India.
Bangalore is the silicon valley of India and you will find most people speak a good level of English, esp those who work in service sectors. It is also very green, though pollution can still be a problem when compared to developed countries.
Bangalore has just got its own 'Metro' train service and they are developing more lines..so expect lots of construction activity on the roads.
Overall, I would say the positives far outweigh the negatives, but someone else may differ in their opinion.
All the best!
Matt
