My nostalgic passions were aroused after reading this and I decided to bring to public a thought that I always wanted to share: What's in a name? I love Bombay. I grew up here and I always will be in love with Bombay. However, ever since the name change to Mumbai in 1997 or so, I feel bit disconnected with the city. Why change names? Bombay has history associated with it. Why rechristen it?


I am sure many of you think Bombay is cool but never expressed it.


What are your view? I love BOMBAY. For that matter I love Calcutta, Madras and Cochin.
