Turning point / Event
I agree with Thilak and Sridhar - AK's murder was a turning point in the history of S. India at that time, but not in the novel ponniyin selvan. Sathi aalosanai..kinda yes, kinda no - as AK already knew there was some political rumbling/consp…

Thamizh Sangams (was chola geneology)
Diwakar, There's a bit about the Sangam history in the Project Madurai site - written by our own Dr. Jaybee. According to this, what we have now is actually the naangam sangam :-) (after the mudhal, idai and kadai sangams). Here's the…

Vanathi: Strong, or Stupid?
Hate to beat a dead horse (or is it snake ;)), but thamizh pengal are known for their courage (i remember a saying about puliyai murathal aditha pen). And, take Ponniyin selvan - we have Kundavai - she'd very well fit in with today's soci…

Vanathi: Strong, or Stupid?
I am not disputing the genuineness of Vanathi's love at all. I just feel that her sabadham makes no sense to some of us. She comes off (again, to some us - mostly women and Thilak :-)), as a silly character esp. with all the fainting. Also, …

Vanathi: Strong, or Stupid?
Ok this is like comparing apples and oranges - truly, I have nothing against Vanathi except that she's strong-willed for no good reason. If I understood this right, she gets offended that Poo(am tired of typing Poonguzhali so Poo she is, from …

Oh yea! Kalki's sense of humor is very subtle and very cool! And I would imagine very difficult to translate and get the full humor. Ranjini, I thought you read it in Tamizh since you know how to and was totally impressed ;) I'm still i…

All said and done, like Tilotamma said, in spite of all the inconsistencies, I couldn't put the book down until I was done with all 5 volumes. My first historical novel (and my first Kalki novel) and I absolutely fell in love in Kalki's s…

Thought I'd add this before someone pounces on me - yes, I do realize Poonguzhali is a fictional character and Kalki really couldn't change history, but his portrayal of her love for Arunmozhi was somehow more powerful, and hearbreaking wh…

Dear Tilottama/Vijay ?, I just read the article - it's a wonderful article. Hope you write more when you travel. As for your opinion on Arunmozhi, I always thought he copped out when he married Vanathi - that was the one character trait th…

The spirit of Rajaraja..........
Hey Krupa, I agree with Dr. Jaybee 100% - you do not know what you are getting into and have no control over how things will turn into. So, my 2 cents' worth would be not to mess with the spirit world. Dr. Jaybee, I am very curious about s…

Foreign Connection in Ponniyin Selvan
I'll start this off - I think everyone remembers the 'comedy' episode in volume 5 - 'cheenathu varthagargal' where Arunmozhi and Vandhiyathevan impersonate 2 chinese traders who are selling silks. They, after Poonguzhali r…

Hi Gokul/Kamal et al, I'm a bit lost about the whole pen/notepad compliments too. I am not sure what the purpose is - is it to promote our group? If so, like Sridhar said, the pen and pad will probably not get much notice. If that's the…
