Where are we going?

Hmm, the other map disappeared. Here's a new one. We are going to be in Chennai. Bottom right.

Here's a map of Chennai. Vignesh's family lives in Egmore. As you can see by the names and the round abouts, racing club, etc. it was designed and occupied by the British. It's former name is Madras, but the Indians have been gradually renaming their cities in an attempt to reclaim their contry. Thus Madras is now Chennai, Bombay is now Mumbai, and so on.
