Default My Take on bangalore and Kolkata

Arm1: Hebbal Flyover - KR puram
from Hyd NH7 you reach Hebbal Flyover, Left turn takes you to NH4/7 at Krishnarajapuram bridge (people going to NH4 East should take the bridge and for NH7 people shouldnot take it, For NH4 towards North Karnataka, take right)

Arm2: Krpuram - Silk Board JUnction
that left road will take you past KRpuram RS and then there is another flyover starting, take that for NH7 (everything is marked well)
The above road meets NH7 at Silk Board Junction, take left you are on to Hosur, Krishnagiri

Arm3: SB junction - Mysore Road
GO straight will take you to Banashankari towards Mysore Road, it ends up as T junction at Mysore Road...

Arm4: Mysore Road - Tumkur Road
Take left from there, after 5-6kms, you have to take a right turn to meet the other side of the ring road which will take you to NH4 (Tumkur Road)

Arm5: Tumkur Road - Hebbal Flyover
At NH4 junction take right and the first left (dont remember but marks are there??), thats the last ring road which will lead you to the Hebbal Flyover

Hope I could explain the circle

For Kolkata, from Dum Dum, the Salt Lake (expressway) can take you to NH3, but can this route be well-defined for those not familiar with Kolkata roads so that they can make an easy exit. For those coming on NH2, the end of the Durgapur expressway blends into teh Kon expressway and the drive into NH3 is a simple affair.
i think you meant NH34 ,

Now if you are coming from NH34 and entering Kolkata, at Airport T-junction take the left (which is called VIP Road) which will take you to Ultadanga, before entering the Ultadanga bridge there is a left turn for SaltLake/EM BP, take that, it will take you to Science City, take the right turn from there will lead you to AJC Bose Flyover and finally onto Kona Exressway via Vidyasagar Setu

My suggession people who intend to go to South (say Kharagpur, Puri etc) from NorthEast (say Malda, Darjeeling, Shillong) should Bypass Kolkata and avoid NH34...

There is a beautiful marked right turn at Moregram, take that, Moregram - Takipur - Rampurhat - Suri - Ilambazar - Darjeeling More (here this beautiful SH meets Nh2 GQ, right turn 20km Durgapur, left turn is Panagarh, Barddhaman, Kolkata), you can take the bishnupur route or the faster NH2 and then the Dankuni BP to NH60...
In this SH, Moregram - DarjeelingMore is about 150km and can done in 2.5 hours easily.
