Bangalore is Bengalooru now... :-(
My IT city sounds like a village now... :-(
How can they ?! How could they ?!
Bangalore was such a nice name, so sophisticated.
This Bengalooru sounds like a village name ('ooru' in Kannada means village).
There are so many other important issues that need attention, changing the name of the city was certainly not in crisis. Why don't they care about the infrastructure ?! It is more important than a name change.
Bangalore's infrastructure is going to dogs. Instead of looking after it, these people thought of changing the city's name.
I think they just want to make place in history, they are not concerned about the current needs of the city. They just want to be remembered as the Government who changed the name from Bangalore to Bengalooru.
I thought India was a democratic country.
And democracy is the government OF the people, BY the people, and FOR the people. But here democracy is only BY the people (and these people include only our politicians). Did they ask the people of Bangalore whether they need the city's name to be changed ?!
A recent poll shows that 60 odd percentage of people din't want the name to be changed.
Our CM wants all schools to have Kannada, but recently his son was quoted saying that he doesn't know to read Kannada very well.
When there was news about Bangalore changing to Bengalooru, one of my friends, Madhavan, changed all our names. He added a 'u' after everybody's name.
Aysha - Ayshu, Varsha - Varshu, Reji - Reju, Sudheer - Sudheeru, Richard - Richardu, Harish - Harishu, etc. :-D
Let them change the name. My IT city still rocks !!
Bangalore will remain Bangalore.
The best city of India.
(I wish Aziz Premji or Narayan Murthy was the CM of Bangalore.)
P.S.
{To whoever got the idea of changing the city's name}
Dear Sir,
I feel that according to you the motive behind changing the name of our city is to show our culture and patriotism. But lemme tell you, patriotism is something that comes from deep within an individual's heart, its not what you can show off by changing the name of your city.
Hmmm.. That's all for now.
Catchya later.
Oops !
I just forgot..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAHRUKH !!

You are one among the scores of 'Bangaloreans' who have this thought.
Let's hope they change their mind instead of changing the name.
True... Bengaluru..... for me it will be Banglore just like madras, bombay, and calcutta...
that does not mean i am not a patriot though.. i guess a lot better than the ones who consider them to be one.
Bengalooru is also such a wonderful name. That city name was renamed in the way English can easily pronounce.
Its part of re-bringing our heritage which we lost to english. And I don't understand when they feel bad about village names.
Look back the real India is in villages.
I love it as Bangalore only...
