Shakespeare said.."Whats in a name?" Naam mei kya rakha hai? Ask Raj Thackery. He will tell you how does it matter to call 'Bombay' 'Mumbai. Ask Karan Johar who has apologised to the former for using word 'Bombay' instead of 'Mumbai' in his latest flick 'Wake up Sid'. For Karan Johar its business, For Raj it is his party agenda. I dont know what it is for people. Moreover, there is nothing for people most of the time. Some agree and some don't and life goes on. I guess its high time we all have to be careful while uttering this word else we might invite trouble. Looks like there is lot in a Name Mr. Sahakespeare. People find meaning in your name and not in what you do, what you think or Whats your Rashee ( Sorry Ashutosh Gowarikar).
I fail to understand what have we got after changing 'Bombay' to 'Mumbai' or 'Madras' to 'Chennai'? Soon someone (most probably a politician) will say we will call our country Hindustan. Half of the country will agree, half won't. Media will debate. News channel will air it on their 24 hrs shop. People with free phone will SMS news channel polls and it would be a nice receipe for elections. Absolute Hypocrisy!
