Thats right jaybee. I dont think so madhan knows anything about ps. he dont know the actual truth.kalki wanted to communicate in the end of the story - a morale of the story. a good end to everything, but he was not able to since he wanted everyone who reads it to find out. there are still many mysteries in the ending, - like what ? happened next?
1. Why did vandhiya changed after seeing manimegalai - didnt he like kundavai any more? will he become the naughty chap who's carefree once again - or would he become dull & boring ever after? That was the first question kalki wanted to ask, according to my opinion - because there was no true hero of the story - acc to the story, vandhiya devan is the hero - but in actual/historical terms, ps or arul is the hero - as rrchola.so after vandhiya departs, what happened to him? no one knows it. since, there was no kalki sitting alive to tell that secret - he made us think. what will happen if vandhiya was alive and arul was alive too.and actually for the true ps lovers, he made us think right.
so the solution: 2.Vandhiya is alive in our hearts but arul is alive - meaning, there are many kings available in history - so we can correlate with any of them. But is it the truth - so i now put forward a simple question to all the ps fans who can read this: who is the best hero of ps - ? vandhiya or arulmozhi? if my answer is right as a true lover of literature - it would be 50% each. so if it is 50% then which is 100% truth - for this kalki knew the answer - and he made arul know the answer too.and so arul or the king was gone and vandhiya still lives in our mind.
so whos the best - is it the king rrchola or hero of the story vandhiya? whoever knows this secret truly from heart can take the ps story in to a movie.
jaybee sir... what does the 'whole nine yards' phrase mean? I have heard it many times, but am not able to understand either the usage or the root of the phrase... would be greatful if you can explain...
