Connaught place, Aurangzeb road, Ahmedabad, Allahbad, Calcutta, Banglore
When I lived there it was still called Bombay. I spent some of my best days there, and that name is an indelible part of my memory. That's how I remember it.

In personal situations, nostalgia, it will always be Bombay. In transactional situations it is Mumbai
