Good ol' Mylapore!

Mylapore never ceases to amaze me! I just got back from one of the finest treats Mylapore has to offer....a sumptuous meal at one of the many Kayendhibhavan's that you can find at every nook and corner of Mylapore.
Many thanks to my Amma who decided to accompany my sister on her dance trip, giving my Appa and myself the chance to relive old memories. No insults...amma's cooking is truly wonderful( most of the times, save for the extra uppu/karam in the sambar nights).
My tryst with the kayendhibhavan's ( KB ;) started when I was in my early teens, thanks to another of Mylapore's identities; Kutcheries! I used to accompany my family on their fairly regular visits to the Sabhas....sneak out as soon as the kutcheri starts, jog to the nearest KB and gorge myself on the parathas ( barota if you're at a KB), dosais, idlis, bajjis, bondas and amazing pongal vadais.(Ok I'm no Jughead Jones..one variety a day!).Perfect timing was my forte...always got back for the last applause.
Today, I filled myself with barotas and rava dosais. Was almost tempted to go for thayirsadham oorga combo to top it off...but decided to call it quits while at the maximum elasticity limit of an ever burping tummy.
My personal favourite is Vinayagha mess, so conveniently located equi-distant from Bharati Vidya Bhavan, RR Sabha and Kapali koyil. And for the not so koyil cum kutcheri inclined..its behind the Mylapore Tank!

Mylapore...namma Mylapore dhaan!
