Mylapore (Tamil: மயிலாப்பூர் Mayilāppūr) is a cultural hub and neighborhood in the southern part of the city of Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, India. Earlier, Mylapore used to be called Vedapuri.
Mylapore is a major commercial center, and one of the oldest residential parts of the city. It is well-connected by roads and Metro railway network, MRTS. It is famous for its tree-lined avenues, the famous 7th century Kapaleeshwarar Temple, its katcheri season and Ramakrishna Math. Mylapore is regarded in history as the birthplace of Tamil poet and saint, Thiruvalluvar. The Bollywood Actor of yesteryears Mr. Ranjan (Chandralekha fame) was born in this part of Chennai. Probably, he was the first actor from Tamil Nadu to succeed in the North of India.
The word Mylapore is expanded as "Mayil arparikum oor" which means 'Land of the peacock scream'. The word mayil, meaning peacock, which was the traditional vehicle of the Hindu god Muruga. Earlier Peacocks used to thrive here, it is evident as the Portuguese preachers who built the Santhome Church embraced the peacock in the church's emblem. This part of Chennai is also called Thirumayilai (திருமயிலை) embracing religious sanctity.
i'll take the lead
catch me if you can
one final look
we're never going back again
come on you can't miss
follow me and see
you're making this
harder than it has to be
it's in your eyes
i can't explain
not in disguise
but not the same
do i even know you anymore?
falling apart
this i can attest
but i know your heart continues beating in your chest
when to begin?
tomorrow, so you say
i wonder when tomorrow will become today
try to pretend there's nothing wrong
are you the friend i knew so long?
further delay
should i do some more?
what could i say
that i haven't said before?
if i could do
one thing, certainly
i'd inspire you
the way you once inspired me
consider this
the choice you make
before you bend so far you break
there's little left
of hope, i mean
