Istanbul, not Constantinople

In 1453, Constantinople fell (I say it tripped, other people say it was pushed) and it became Istanbul. A few hundred years later, a song was written about it, even though it was nobody’s business but the Turks’.

But that’s not what this is about.

I have two simple questions, gentle reader, and I shall list them here.

# If Peking is now Beijing, why isn’t the lovely waterfowl meal now called “Beijing Duck”?

# If Bombay is now Mumbai, why isn’t that spectacular film genre now called “Mollywood”?

I thank you for your kind attention. Please, continue your day, and do not let this quandary lay heavily upon your heart.
