Hello Suresh Kumar,

Welcome to the site.. I am also new, as you know.. Yeah! I do agree about the term Madrasi versus Chennian.. ) During one of my travels to Madras, I heard the Air Hostess relay a message that we are approaching Chennai... etc.. the way she said Chennai sounded like Chen Naai.. meaning a red dog.. I almost laughed out loud.. anyway, just a little humor..

Your work must be quite interesting..

About taking a bath, I have also the same doubt, but I am guessing it is because, in those days no one lived too far from the loved ones and they would be there when someone passed away and perhaps it started for hygenic purpose, meaning.. in case that person died of some disease like small pox or cholera, just a guess.. so all who were present took a bath, after cleaning the place where the body was kept.. so that might have been the reason.... habits became tradition and so it continues.. this may not be the real answer, but to me it just seems logical..

I am sure you will see the proper answer soon.. . Take care..

Subhalakshmi
