Do not worry ! Shanghai is a nice place to live. Now it has quite a number of Indians in it, what with the booming chinese economy and more and more Indian ( and foreign) companies opening their offices here.
I have been living here since September 2005, and I must say from the Indians' perspective that it has become better - There are two indian stores ( more about them in a seperate post ) where you can get indian groceries. See the links for more details about them. Another super market here , Pines, has started storing Indian groceries too. I think others might follow suit soon.

Lotta,
This is a great blog and a great post. This is exactly what I was looking for.
I'm going to be moving to Shanghai pretty soon and my wife will be joining me later.
I'll be working in Pudong, very close to the Zhang Jiang Hi-Tech Metro station.
I'm looking for a place that is somewhere along line 2 and wont have to spend too much time travelling(half an hour is fine).
More importantly, I'm looking for a place that is safe, has at least a few Indians around, since my wife will not be working at least initially.
Once again, kudos on a great post, a great guide !!!
Please do pm me on SH expat, my ID is yleo
