Sorry akanna ji, i did forget to give you my thanks. SO here is a special one from me!



Thanks for the information, it becomes confusing when INDIA suddenly makes new states out of old ones and and changes the names of the cities. I seriously though that Chennai and Madras were differnet places, until the IPL started!

Oh thank you!! I feel so special now!!! It's a gal thing, ya know! πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜ƒ
Chennai is the original name in native tongue - it was changed to Madras by the British. And recently the government put the old name back. The same time they put the names back for Mumbai, Kolkata, and all.. None of the southern states are new - all four have been there for very long, way before we were born.. πŸ˜ƒ

But there are so many mallus I know who speak wonderful Hindi, and even without the mallu accent. In fact, English has become my main language lately and I speak in English 95% of the time now... I speak my language only over the phone to my folks - I cannot believe it!! πŸ˜•



initially he king thot u were from south bcoz anna means brother in telugu n kannada. n also many male names end wid anna in these states. so thot u r a south-indian male until he saw ur name in kuri's list of queens.

even the way u speak is not much lady-likeπŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰

I think you have acknowledged pretty much everyone who had posted their info, except for me who had to send a reminder! πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜ƒ
Yes, the number of states in India have gone up from 22 or 23 to who knows exactly how many...!! Yes, I know all the states in the US, along with their two letter codes - this might sound funny, but my brain works in a weird way, so cannot explain why... 😳 πŸ˜• πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜ƒ

Yes, those kind made a lot of issues in Kerala too once, asking many of the names to be changed. Though the government didnt yield at the time, they eventually changed some of the names. But when it comes to mails, people will use either one, based on their preference and ease. For example, Trivandrum is the British name for Thiruvananthapuram, Cochin for Kochi, Alleppey for Allappuzha, Cannanoore for Kannur, Trichur for Thrissur, Calicut for Kozhikode, Palghat for Palakkad, and so on... πŸ˜ƒ
