Madras
12 years after Madras was rechristened to Chennai, we still find people (including yours truly) who have changed for the most part to using Chennai in formal/informal, oral/written communication forms. But every now and then, analogical to the unstoppable urge to use our mother tongue, we use the word Madras.
There are a lot of things Madras. What I am about to talk about here in Madras String Quartet. Led by VS Narasimhan and joined by several artists at different points in time, this is one of the finest quartet style orchestras aimed at bringing harmony between Western Classical Music and Carnatic Music.
If you will, please try the album Resonance by MSQ. It’s a treat to listen to.
It’s still IIT Madras
All that politicians managed to do was change names. Good stuff pointing it out but then who questions :-(
We ain’t doin that and its 60 years already.
