Hi All, I am very glad and very proud to participate in this forum as I have a craze for Kalki's Ponniyin Selvan. My sister gave a intro to it, when i was in my 8th std. Me & my sister collected the Kalki issues and binded Part I,II. I could only have overview of the other parts. From then on, i have read the parts I & II, 10 times. Later I came to know, the novel is published as books. But I luv to read it with its original paintings by "Maniyam". He adds more life to the characters. I dont know if the latest books come with those original drawings. When i start reading, i just get into those days, like another CHOLA citizen who is watching those events. I am entirely into the world of Ponniyin Selvan, and when i close the book, i wonder oh ... i am in a modern world. There are no 'Agil vilaku', palinku medai, Mada Maaligaigal .... With his style of narration, i almost dislike to be in this 21st century. If God asks me where i want to be, i wud say, i will become any of those chars, described by kalki. I have decided to order those books for personal copy. And here, i would like to appreciate PMKR. You have a great value for the novel, hats off!!!. I am thinking of getting the other writings of "Kalki". (I am not hesitating to tell you friends, my mother tongue is Telugu!!!) Hats off to "Kalki" "Vazgha Thamizh" |
