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... 😃

Hmm... I wonder how?! I think you guessed that because I have said openly a few times that my Hindi isnt that good, and that I could not decipher some of the phrases in Hindi ir Urdu... 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!! 😕

I think you misunderstood my statement.....None of the reasons you mentioned above which made me think you were from southern states.....Akanna sounds a word coming from one of the lanuguages from south....I asked my family member who is Telugu if she was aware of what Akanna meant....Now I don't remember her answer.....

This is from loooooooooooong time back when U and I first interacted in IF-SRGMP section....Hope this helps....Did not mean to offend or upset you....was not the intention....😳
