Bangalore becomes Bengaluru from November 1

Bangalore becomes Bengaluru from November 1

Come November 1. Bangalore would follow the other metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and shed its colonial name 'Bangalore' and would revert back to its pre-colonial name 'Bengaluru'. The name change process and discussion which had been running for a while since September seems to have got more official as claimed in Mangalorean.com. We humbly hope that the name change would also restore the city to the powerful greenery that had got it a glorious name "Garden City" and minimize the traffic problems there.

In a few words and to describe very briefly from my experience to Bangalore (Bengaluru): "A city of charm and a heaven on earth. The gentle weather and the spectacular cool nature really does not fail to enthrall anyone.
