Thanks CJ, Doug. Rod - Some say that the original name was Mumbai as it was named after Mumba Devi ( Goddess Mumba) worshipped by the locals. The Portuguese called it Bombay or beautiful Bay . It changed hands to the English as a part of royal dowry. These names may or may not be historically accurate but one fine day the govt decided that we must not live with our foreign legacy and changed the name to Mumbai. Even VT is now Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus :D - Debi

Spent a lot of time in Mumbai during the 80's working in an office in Nariman Point and living in an apartment on Malabar Hill; loved the place. I haven't been back since 2000 but I will visit again at some point.
