So I'd give out landmarks like "Vaishali" to a young niece, but "BCL" to a more academic person. It's fun to see what strikes a more natural chord for them.J Ramanandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03700969855424872769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523224.post-11417418421623788552011-11-11T05:52:49.878+05:302011-11-11T05:52:49.878+05:30I don't know how true this is, but someone onc...I don't know how true this is, but someone once remarked that when Vaishali came up, people would give its location as being 'Opposite BCL'.

I think it's more of a end-of-FC-Road-on-one-side marker: earlier people would probably use Sagar Arcade more often.J Ramanandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03700969855424872769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523224.post-89702300268169912672011-11-10T15:58:09.461+05:302011-11-10T15:58:09.461+05:30Khind vs. Symbiosis - if one goes farther back in ...Khind vs. Symbiosis - if one goes farther back in time.<br /><br />Is Wadeshwar a relatively new place? Roopali and Goodluck are still more prominent landmarks in my circles.<br /><br />Glad to see parts of the canal road restored - this time into a beautiful walkway/ cycling track.CruiZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228149387488670946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523224.post-63431703326169361792011-11-10T15:53:00.333+05:302011-11-10T15:53:00.333+05:30Yes, it does annoy me that be it Bombay or Bangalo...Yes, it does annoy me that be it Bombay or Bangalore or Madras, you can step into a mall and you can't tell which city you are in. :)J Ramanandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03700969855424872769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523224.post-8730043303482234772011-11-10T15:49:08.777+05:302011-11-10T15:49:08.777+05:30"maddeningly homogenous" is a great way ..."maddeningly homogenous" is a great way of putting it.
