Bangalore or Bengalooru?
by Ramdas Iyer on Nov 01, 2006 07:15 PM

I say Bengalooru. But frankly the article doesnt even mention whether Gulbarga will be renamed Kalburgi? Does anyone over there even know where and what Gulbarga is? Just because a few guys sit in the airconditioned offices of Infosys or Wipro and write codes for Microsoft and spend their evenings relaxing and smoking pot in pubs, it does not mean that Kannadigas, especially those from the north, go about eating pizzas and stuff. Long before Bill Gates was born, we had our culture in Kalburgi. We eat jawari rotti, we speak our dialect and we respect the culture of Appa and Khaja Bande Nawaz. If some Arora or Chatterjee wants to dictate terms in Bangalore he is welcome but not in Kalburgi.
