Fron what I remember (Bombay childhood) India

May I ask what you think of "Mumbai"? Since you were born there, it would be interesting to hear your views on the reversion, if that's what it is. The real reason for this post however was simply to ask if your childhood included playing carom? My Dad's family brought a board and pieces out with them when they emigrated here in 1948, and I remember it as a very fun game, even if the square board meant that the angles didn't translate well to rectangular snooker tables.
