Furnishing this private Mail from the Legend Michael Lockwood !!
==========
Dear Vijay
You are very modest about your own work. But you have shone a good deal of light on the very subjects we studied and wrote about. I enjoyed looking through the two sites you mentioned in your e-mail to me: 1) the mystery horns and axe blades, and 2) the Sômâskanda paintings of the Kailâsanâ Temple, Kânchî.
I am happy to hear that you had a chance to meet Sri Iravatham and receive his blessing. The commemorative publication, Airâvatî, was a sincere acknowledgment of his greatness. But the editors had a real struggle with reproducing my article in print. I am attaching to this e-mail (and to three more e-mails) the PDF files of my original article, which will provide you with what it originally looked like. You are free to post it on your blog, if you so wish.
I look forward to exploring more of your excellent blog.
With all good wishes.
Michael Lockwood

Yesterday I had been to the Book Fair and bought your Novel "Malarcholai Mangai" and was reading it , it is a very nicely written historical novel. Even i felt that after a long gap I am reading a wonderfully written Historical Novel.
Thanks for bringing the novel.
