I have shocked myself that I haven't mentioned possibly the greatest lifeline necessary for helping us settle into Bangalore. Three Letters 'OWC'!
Overseas Womens Club OWC Website
OWC is a great way to find expat friends who will help you learn the ropes so that you can settle in faster than doing it on your own. You will certainly make new friends, have people to ask those puzzling questions, join their Yahoo group where info is exchanged all the time.
They host charity events, have things like daytours to places you haven't been, and have groups for all kinds of interests from food to horseback riding.
Their Weekly coffee morning is at Leela Palace on Thursdays at around 11 I believe. You can go become a member, meet some new people, buy a copy of their 'Bangalore In's and Out's' which will be your info resource for a while, and just get connected with your new City!
Good luck

The OWC was a lifesaver for us when we lived in Bangalore. Not only did we meet our best friends over there on the very first meeting. It was an excellent source of info for us to navigate the city.
