Thank you for the kind words and wishes.

By the way although I live in Houston for many years, I am originally from Calcutta. Notice the old English name I am using, I left well before the name change:)

May be share a little more ? I still did not get. It definitely makes me more curious now.

Oh I thought you might know, since you are from India

The West Bengal government officially changed the name of its capital city, Calcutta, to Kolkata on January 1, 2001. The name change was made to match the Bengali pronunciation of the city, which has always been Kolkata or Kôlikata.

I was referring that I left India before this event.

Oh, that one I know, I was thinking you changed your name but still using the old English name. Could not derive your name using the city's name though.

Yeah I was just referring to Calcutta’s name, not my name:)
