"B" is for Bombay?

Now don't that just beat all!! Every since I can remember, "B" was always for Bob and "N" was always for Nancy. "C" was always for cat and "D" was for David. Not so here.

"B" is for Bombay. "N" is for New Delhi. "C" is for chutney. And "D" is for Diwali. It makes perfect sense. The point of using names to further elucidate letters is not just about pronounciation, but its also about association.

Greg is as much for "G" as "G" is for Greg. You might not even know a Greg, but you know that his name is symbolic of the letter "G." In India, our "Greg" is their "Goa," a city located in the southwest of India.

While previously believed that you can't teach an aged dog new tricks, this old canine is learning to bark in Hindi.
