It’s a nice spring day, but hardly peak cherry blossom crowds down by the National Mall and Tidal Basin. But the 15th Street protected lane that the Trump administration will start tearing out next week was still busy with people on bikes and scooters; locals and tourists alike.

"This isn't Japan, it's Bengaluru!" Every year the pink trumpet trees bloom, and every year influencers compare the city to Japan with its sakura trees. This is one example of a widespread bad habit: using derivative names/descriptions for Indian cities, landmarks, and people.
