Where's Tom?

I'm right here in Chennai, but that's not the question I'm asking. The question I'm asking pertains to the wherabouts of the remains of St Thomas the Apostle. Tradition holds that he is buried under the San Thome Basilica, right here in Chennai. There is some controversy to that, but there is little doubt that he was buried somewhere in India. And nobody makes any claim to a specific alternate location for his burial. So maybe he really is here. We'll be visiting the San Thome Basilica today,and I'll have a longer post about it then. My internet connection has now slowed to a crawl. India doesn't have the speedy internet connections that are common in Thailand.
