when you were called

But I tell ya
The name says it all.

hmmm I also abide by the lines "Madras namma Madras" but i don mind the change of name...after all the city is what it has always been, my HOME! :-)

They can change the name all they want but we will always be 'Madrassis'!!

No offense meant to any of you guys here...BUT...Is it just the taste that we have? or Is it the 'change' that we are not willing to accept subconciously? :)

Swetha said...

Yo Rads, Just finished doing the tag :-)

Bharat, I grew up in Madras and have so much gotten used to that name, that I have more memories of Madras than Chennai. So probably I am finding it hard to handle the name change. I still use only Bombay, Madras and Bangalore!

I can totally understand...!
