Only Kalki could write Ponniyin Selvan because he was truly a "Tamizhin Selvan"

Ponniyin Selvan is my alltime favourite book by Kalki. I also like his other books such as Nandhipurathu Nayaki. But I read all these when i was in school. I dont remember everything, but some parts are so interesting that I could never forget them. I liked the paintings by Maniam, and Kalki's way of writing, the smooth flow. It was never boring to read the book again and again.
Nice to know that there are lots of fans for Kalki.

Deepa,
Nandhipuraththu Nayaki is not by Kalki. It was written by 'Vikraman' (editor of 'Amudha Surabi' magazine)

Ponniyin selvan is hot favorite me.can any body share ur thoughts abt the character which affected u?
I think Nandhini, Azhaarkadiyan are fictious characters.Any other such characters are there?
Also I have seen Veeranam aeri only through kalki's words.

Kalki Krishnamoothy is still living and will live for ever. He is celeberated as AMARAR just like Rabindranath Tagore and Mahakavi Bharathi. To my judgement Amarar Krishnamoorthy is not second to Shakspeare. Ponniyin selvan is such a great creation because almost all the characters living in his mega novel live in our imagination.
I dont know why these cinema producers never think about making films sellecting stories from the novel. Sexy Love unbelievable fights and belly dances are the only sequences the South Indian cinema businessmen think the Tamil women old women boys and girls would like.Damn sin.

I read all the 5 volumes of Ponniyin Selvan at a stretch and completed within 4 weeks. Just can't take my eyes off. But I missed the lively paintings of Maniam Selvan, since i read the downloaded versions from the Net. Can anybody let me know whether these paintings are uploaded somewhere in the net. I would be grateful to them. Please mail me the URL to vksankaran@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance,
Vijay Kumar

Actually, when I finished reading Ponniyin Selvan, I felt, why this novel ended. Can't this continue for anopther 5 volumes. Rathertthan knowing the end, I was more interested in knowing what happened next. The characters were lively. Infact I have fallen in love with the character Kunthavai. I kept reading the portions where Kunthavai, proposes to Vanthiyathevan in the jail and also the last part, where she tells him that she rejected the Pallava Prince's sugsestion of marrying her. Really beautiful Novel. A master piece. Iam wondering, why such novels are not prescribed for the Tamil Syllabus. Such novels should be prescribed for Tamil syllabus, rather than silappathikaaram.
