@JosePuliampatta Only for Hong Kong, sir! SCB still printed notes into the 21st century; not sure if they still do so. HSBC was the other note-issuing Bank in HK til 1997.

@Sanket_MV @mumbaiheritage Grant, Sandhurst hee pan British lokanchi naava hoti!

@mumbaiheritage Is there any contemporary documentation on this? It would be great if it could be shared!

[Nitin Karve @NitinKarve]

@mumbaiheritage Can’t be 19th century. Has to be twentieth century - after 1925, at the earliest!

@ProfKapilKumar You are mixing one fact and a lot of fantasy. If you want to hate Nehru, you are free to do so, but do not hate facts!

@Marathi___ @mumbaiheritage Thanks!

@PratimDGupta So all the very loud blasts, accompanied by flashes of light, which I heard in my part of Mumbai continuously for at least 45 minutes after the match ended were NOT crackers. Thanks a lot for educating me! Much obliged!

@citywalkindia @mumbaiheritage Can you get a Portuguese source to confirm that meaning? As far as single vs multiple, when the Portuguese acquired the islands, the name ‘Mombaim’ was applied collectively.

@No__negativtyxd "अशीच आमुची आई असती, सुंदर रूपवती | आम्हीही सुंदर झालो असतो, वदले छत्रपती ||" हे लोकप्रिय मराठी भावगीत शिवाजी महाराजांच्या चारित्र्याची, महिलांबद्दलच्या आदराची आणि स्त्री-सन्मानाची ग्वाही देते. कल्याणच्या सुभेदाराच्या सुनेला 'आई' मानून, खण-नारळाने ओटी भरून सन्मानाने परत पाठवताना

@nvr75 @mumbaiheritage Haji Ali after it was uglified - the fountain and coloured lights removed?

@advsanjoy Wonderful!

@asinaib @anup_malani I mean never, or not in the foreseeable future. No one wants to offend any lobby, but no one wants to find solutions which might work without offending any lobby.

@DorinCheptea @DrHelenFry Indian soldiers fought for a third very evil empire!

@asinaib @anup_malani Ironically, leave and licence was never under the purview of rent control, but was retroactively covered in the 1970s. Leave and licence was common in the case of larger flats. The beneficiaries were mostly corporate entities, who brazenly exploited rent controls!

[Nitin Karve @NitinKarve]

@asinaib @anup_malani I think the other change was taking leave and licence out of the purview of rent controls

[Nitin Karve @NitinKarve]

@asinaib @anup_malani After 125 years, by which time market rates would again have gone up. I think the rate is 4 or 5 % per year, while inflation has been higher.

@thebritishhindu Born in independent India, yet learnt savaiki, deedki, adichki and autki, tables of 1.25, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5. Not in my English medium school, but from parents or enthusiastic relatives, who learnt them in their schools. The names might be incorrect. Cannot recite those tables now.
