Here's How People Are Reacting To Gurgaon's Name Change

Goodbye Gurgaon, Hello Gurugram! Well yes, you've heard it right!

A suburb situated outside Delhi with skyscrapers and glistening malls, has undergone a change of name by the Haryana Government. Incase you're wondering how Gurugram came about, here it is:

"The District derived its name from the name of Guru Dronacharya; the village was given as gurudakshina to him by his students; the Pandavas and hence it came to be known as Guru-gram, which in course of time got distorted to Gurgaon." - Gurgaon Govt

The residents of Gurgaon have taken this to social media and shared their opinion in a very fun way. Have a look:
