A fact from T. Namberumal Chetty appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 September 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Indian businessman and builder T. Namberumal Chetty is said to have owned 99 residences in a neighbourhood of Chennai, but would not purchase a 100th for astrological reasons?

Some other Wikipedia articles credit "Namperumal Chetty" as a builder for some Chennai buildings, including some listed here. I inferred that this is an alternate rendering of the spelling, so I redirected Namperumal Chetty here. Am I correct, or are these two different people? --Orlady (talk) 15:35, 25 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
Actually, in Tamil, the vernacular of Chennai, the alphabet for the sound Pa (ப) is also used for ba. "Namperumal Chetty" might be the way his name is actually spelt, but "Namberumal" is the spelling more often used (Both Madras Rediscovered by S. Muthiah as well as Southern India spell his name as "Namberumal Chetty").-The EnforcerOffice of the secret service
