Hogenakkal? Burning Water

It is a wonderful place and I have been there in my final year trip. It is one of my favorite and memorable trip. To be exact I can say I simplied loved that place. It is Hogenakkal which means burning (or boiling) stone. Recent situation is also boiling out in Tamilnadu and Karnataka involving this place. I am not here to talk about whether it is part of TN or KA as I do not have much information about this. But there is a serious thought going out in TN to change it to Tamil name, all I wanted to say is please don't do that. First being Indian we have the right to name in any language, second having name in Kannada is a not problem here. Changing names may make Tamil people emotions happy but will not solve the original problem and can even make this tought times worse. Please leave it as Hogenakkal.

I agree. Just leave the name alone. Naming it "pugai thaneer" or some cr** like that, would just destroy the brand identity of the place. (Either ways, people will always remember it by Hogenakkal - so why even try changing it!)
