Dammit. I realized that **gouda** had already mentioned the Mumbai thing after I hit the post button. I thought I stopped and backed out of the post, but I guess not. Grrr.

But, to maybe add some new information, the same thing happened with old Poona, which is now Pune. Which I think is an improvement.

(“Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.”)

**jeevmon** , I still call it Poona. So do most of my non-maharashtrian friends here. As well as all my friends in Bombay. Admittedly, we all speak mainly english.

(bump.)

Poona, Bombay or VT, can we meet?! I’m so sick of all the US/UK/other assorted countries bunch orgasming online about all their dopefests! I’d like to have a dopegettogether too!

I ought to be in Bombay sometime in July first week (exact dates unknown), so could we please schedule around then?

Yours ever so gratefully,
