Mochi is a profession. You can hear voice "Mochi" everday on the Streets of evey Mohalla in every city every day, a person on cycle for getting your shoes repaired. there are mochi shops in every Mohalla of India. What is wrong in calling a Mochi as Mochi. A Luhar a Luhar, a Nai(hair cutter) a Nai, a Subjiwala a Subjiwala, a Sunar a Sunar, a Neta a Neta and so on. Why all this fuss. Do our Govt intend to ban all these to be called with other names, they can do so by all means. But till an ordnance comes to this effect, we should be left to call a Mochi a Mochi.
