Bangalore Basics
(virtualbangalore.com)

PREPPING FOR POLITICS This versatile site provides not only a comprehensive introduction to Bangalore but the latest local news. The entertainment section lists fast-food restaurants, movie theaters and, of course, cybercenters. Other practical city information is also available, like ATM locations, 24-hour pharmacies and reputable money changers. The site also profiles Bangalorean movers and shakers, offering a glimpse into their world as well as good ammunition for a leap into the heated debating arenas of neighborhood coffee shops.

The Bangalore entry offers day-trip suggestions and an English-to-Kannada dictionary for key phrases like "How do I get there?" ("Alli hege hogabahudu?")
