Re: AITA Fenesta Nationals
I completely agree with PKB on use of "Kolkata". Utter shame.
I use Kolkata effortlessly while speaking bengali and I am absolutely fine using Calcutta while in conversion in english. The entire name change was nothing but a hype to cover for years of government apathy.
Btw there was a request to change the name of the state from west bengal to bangla but somehow it didn't happen.

Back in Singapore now, Vatsal! I left on 26th night. Played against the markers at Tollygunge Club almost every day that I was there: always a very tough work-out.

Re: AITA Fenesta Nationals
Also Bala has accepted a wildcard for the qualifiers of Fenesta. Maybe a late entry here. Makes the mens side more competitive

Re: AITA Fenesta Nationals
The formal names are Kolikata and Poschim Bongo. Now the commonly spoken terms are Kolkata and Bangla (or Poschim Bangla).jayakris wrote:Oh, I didn't know that there was an "i" in the Bengali name for Calcutta. By the way, "Bengal" is a wrong spelling too, am I right? It should be closer to Bangal or Bongal or something? Like in the "Banga" in the national anthem (or "Vanga" as I had always seen in sanskrit works)
Some people may not have heard of Kolkata and so when I speak to them, I use Calcutta. Otherwise, I use Kolkata.

Re: AITA Fenesta Nationals
Bala is not a wild card here but playing qualifying. Surprising considering that he needs to to improve his ranking from 400+ where it has fallen now.Rahb wrote:Also Bala has accepted a wildcard for the qualifiers of Fenesta. Maybe a late entry here. Makes the mens side more competitive

Re: AITA Fenesta Nationals
On mens side only 2 of the top 10 players ( Bala and Vishnu) are there in the fray while a much more competitive field where 5 of India's top 7 players are playing here ( except Ankita Raina and Natasha Palha). Not surprising considering that mens top 10 consist of many challenger level players while in women everyone barring Ankita is ranked below top 500.
