well guess tats how my husband would have thought about me!! he keeps asking me "wats so gr8 about mylapore"...well is there a short and sweet answer to tat question? i dont think so...
for someone who has not lived in mylapore, its quite difficult to fathom why its so popular and special? the locality is a city by itself! it has a life of its own, which i dont think any other area can boast of...well parry's may be known for its busy business activities and besant nagar for its hep and happening joints but somehow mylapore is different..guess its the perfect blend of both the tradition and the contemporary tat makes it unique..on the one hand, you have the temples and ancient shops ( they were started even b4 my grandmom was born!) that sell everything from books to dosai kallus to kumkums to appalams!! am sure ambika applams and srividya kumkum have travelled far and wide than anybody living in tat locality! on the other hand, you also have the pizza joints and cafes tat are a true reflection of today' s world!!
well, i can go on and on about mylapore but i guess enuf has been written this much loved and famed place in chennai..how else do you explain a group started by and for mylaporeans in almost every social networking site? this post was simply meant to show my love for the place!!
case rested.
