Bengalooru appeals to me as well. Bu...Agreed GVK. Bengalooru appeals to me as well. But I will raise yet another silly question. What for instance will it cost the exchequer to effect this name change? How many sign-boards will have to be repainted, how much stationery will have to be reprinted, and how many other seen and unseen costs will it take before Bangalore finally becomes Bengalooru? And remember Madras is still Madras, and not Chennai to many, many people. So is Bombay. Will Bangalore then, actually remain Bangalore?

The bad roads, infrastructure problems etc mentioned in your blog being the reason no-doubt. Although Karnataka's real first family (You know who) thinks everything is hunky-dory and tried to discredit Narayan murthy. Some chaps in the US have asked me once or twice "what was sore" when it was mentioned that I hailed from Mysore! My sore what? Mysooru does sound nice, although I heard that the original name may have been Mahishooru, named after that handsome gentleman with the big mush standing on Chamundi Hill holding a snake in one hand, sporting a mean looking grin and used to scare the bejeesus out of kids when we were growing up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
