Bengaluru

While waiting at the Bengaluru airport, I ran into some colleagues from Vancouver. It was quite funny because we were on the same flight from Vancouver to Hong Kong to Bengaluru. It used to be known as Bangalore, but due to political reasons the name has changed. Same with Bombay: it is now known as Mumbai and Calcutta is now Kolkata. In fact Pune used to be called Poona. Some locals still refer to these cities by their old names.
