I second Janaki Nair's Promise of the Metropolis. Also - Askew by TJS George has great vignettes on the birth of Bangalore's standing food joints (inspired by Singapore). Also, The Caravan magazine cover story by RAghu Karnad a few years ago, and for those who want something out of the way - Jayaprakash Satyamurthy's Weird Tales of Bangalore.
