For every Kannadiga
Kannada Chat is where people from across Karnataka talk in their own language. Type in Kannada script or in Kanglish. Coastal Karnataka voices mix with North Karnataka dialects and Bengaluru slang, and everyone learns a new phrase or two.
People who have moved to Bengaluru and are learning Kannada are welcome to practise here too. Regulars are patient teachers.
Sandalwood, Dasara and dosa
Kannada films have had a huge few years, and fans love discussing them. Mysuru Dasara, Ugadi and Rajyotsava bring festive chat. Food talk ranges from Mysore pak and bisi bele bath to the eternal debate over the best benne dose in the city.
