Pondy Bazaar or Paandi Bazaar

Just yesterday i learnt the original name of the so called " Pondy Bazaar".

After nearly three decades of living in chennai (donot try to calculate my age, it may not be right and u would be hurting my ego badly ;))) ) and oorsuthifying in T.Nagar all the way right from schooling to shopping and everything just yesterday i came to know the actual name of the place.
While i was going with P to the dance class i chanced upon to read the name of the police station at the junction in the Panagal Park and it was " Soundarapandi Angadi Police Station "

Thats how Paandi became Pondy . Hence forth it should be called as Paandi bazaar.

This reminds me of the scene in Avvai Shanmugi where Gemini Ganesan and Kamal meet. He would say all the names of his fore-fathers and his name and at last would say " antha varisaiyila Paaannnndiiii" . LOL. The modulation would be excellent. (Please vodaney enna anti-brahmin varisaiyila serthudaathinga, just recollecting thatsall , serthaalum i dont mind)
