I always say Madras as I'm used to from childhood but people around me frown as I've uttered some obscene word. <BR/><BR/>Well, If you don't like british names or anything done by british then, why do you still celebrate Jan 1st as New year? We have seperate Tamil New Year right? Why don't you destroy the high courts, railway tracks constructed by british & reconstruct from the start? Sounds stupid right... Same way, It sounds stupid to change from Madras to Chennai when both co-existed without any problem. Now , only Chennai exists . where's my magnificent Madras? My DOB Certificate lists it as Madras. A'm I born in a city which does not exist? These changes promote regionalism & not nationalism… which will ultimately result in a separate Country ThamizlNadu(Once known as the State of Madras). <BR/><BR/>Don't know where will it End?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10671150.post-23372836847215266842008-06-08T22:11:00.000-07:002008-06-08T22:11:00.000-07:00i guess people must have come to some conclusion t...i guess people must have come to some conclusion that the names of these indian cities keep changing every now and then and to address this they need to make software changes in their system and so better not to change them at all cos everyone knows where they send their mails and all the names of that city.Aravindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10993363567330006186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10671150.post-29760144747611492232008-06-05T01:55:00.000-07:002008-06-05T01:55:00.000-07:00This changes in name will confuse those unknowing ...This changes in name will confuse those unknowing the old and new names of cities.
