30 Days

That's the time that the BMC has given to all the commercial and non-commercial entities in the state to change their signboards to Marathi (Devnagri script).
This is not only a futile exercise because it results in extra cost and extra work, but also significantly decreases Bombay's appeal as a cosmopolitan city. I swear, with these people it's one step forward, two steps back!!

Oh and in other news, after the bombings in Bangalore the day before yesterday and in Ahmedabad yesterday, the outfit that is claiming responsibility has sent an email saying that Bombay is next. The only surprising thing about that is the fact that Bombay wasn't their first choice. Apparently our popularity as "the" place to bomb in India has decreased :P. Maybe with a name like "Bomb"ay, we were sending out some sort of subliminal message. Well, now Bombay is "Mum"bai, but the state of the roads are reducing the chances of a successful pregnancy. So what do we change it to now? Coz apparently changing the names of cities/roads/localities is the governments idea of a panacea for all that ails Bombay (and India actually)
