Admittedly it is dirty and sometimes smelly ,there is no MacDonald's and a shortage of chrome and wi-fi spots ,the road surface is very uneven so therefore can make it difficult for a wheeled bag ,so spend a few rupees and get a rickshaw along it .Its not as bad as it looks and the cows are very friendly 
PS it's as noisy as most big cities ,and i have never found it a problem .
