  • Hi PS Family,

    Can someone suggest me if there is any description available for Akanaanooru poems? I'm searching for it for a long time now, and couldn't find one, hence asking this esteemed group of people.

    Thank you so much in advance!

  • Thank you very much Sir. I really appreciate your help on this. I will check those links, and get a book to start with.

    SPS Sir,

    I'm not that Muthukumar you mentioned. I'm really new to this group, and I should say I do not have any knowledge on Tamil Literature, History. Only after reading the PS book, my quest for knowledge on Tamil Literature, History in particular to TN, Chola started. I'm learning a lot of things from this group. To be specific, I completed PS just 8 months back. I'm 26 years old, I'm really feeling bad in now knowing the great tamil literatures, chola history till now (partly because of the way I was brought up, etc).

    Now, I've time and heart to learn about Tamil Lit, and Histroy.

    I would like to appreciate all the active members of this group, you guys are like Gods for me in terms of knowledge what you guys deliver in your emails. Please keep them coming.

    a PS family student,
    Rakki Muthukumar
