Mera signboard Marathi mein, toh main Mumbai ka?!




The legendary Shakespeare once commented, 'Whats in a name'? Not much he thought and yours truly tends to agree with him.

Thank God the great man isnt alive today, or even if he was, I wish he wasnt living in Bombay [Get a life, all of you who want me to call it any other way!]. Else, he'd have been forced to re-phrase his timeless lines as 'Whats in the way a name is written'?

Jai Maharasthtra!

Btw, the photo was taken outside Churchgate station [Not from any place in TN, stay assured :)]

i cant understand why ppl make such fuss about languages...
language was made for ppl to communicate... not to differentiate them... :(
it's really sad that we are falling for this politicisation of language or should i say.. script ..
coz no one gives a damn if you wtite "armstrong" in marathi......
they dont want you to write "bhujbal" (which in marathi means armstrong.. :))
