There are many such places in the world, which defy common sense, in terms of the powers they wield over others.<br /><br />Did moving out of the fort result in Mr. Karunanidhi's downfall? If yes, perhaps, Amma will prove us right in a few years. And, we will be more superstitious than ever before...<br /><br />Peace!Desi Babuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07955168775820391505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-22679350705529340372011-05-21T18:51:56.301+05:302011-05-21T18:51:56.301+05:30Ha ha ha. . .soumya has done excellent research.

Definitely we may have given history a pass when it came to remembering "who"actually discovered madras, but we did learn and write essays on every governor general's tenure. So ignorance aside, I am now thinking, if it were not for the book you are working on, so much history would not have been unearthed by you. Even the origins of kolkatta was discovered during the course of this research. So I think we will ignore the comment on ignorance and indifference. Second, discovery is one part of heritage and existence but who makes the discovery pulsate with life? We as people were not born from the womb of the british, but were existing till the discovery and then we chose to breathe life into "facts". Our people and culture made madraspatnam and the credit for a mere name goes to the british. They have been an asset in many ways but lets look beyond a coupla drinks, a letter and a lover and give ourselves some credit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-80209187264876575342011-05-21T16:24:46.374+05:302011-05-21T16:24:46.374+05:30Us as in us madrasis.

Well written and an exhaustive account. It would also be nice if you could devote as much time to the woman(chennai) that nurtured you,grew you and who could possibly land you in the hall of fame rather than compare in every writing to a cheap mistress called kolkatta. So what if they celebrate their founder, we madrasis celebrate the core of madraspatnam: US!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-62449941942680967822011-05-21T11:32:56.469+05:302011-05-21T11:32:56.469+05:30This is really interesting.
