Ponniyin Selvan-Kalki

[Oldposts]

hi guys, It's one the greatest novels i'hv ever read. we tamils should be very proud for our ancient culture dipicted beautifully by Thru Kalki.Vanthia devan, Arulmolzhi vermar, Adithya Karikalan, Kundavai,Ponkulalai,and offcourse Nandani what great characters and the beatuy for Tamilnadu described by thee author the flowing rivers the prety maidens the great warriors the customs which were followed, makes you feel that we should have lived in that period rather than live today

every one who read the ponniyin selvan will be addicted to the novel. no wonder the film personalities trying to picturise the story. From M.G.R to kamal every one tried making the film. But its their ego which prevented them doing the film. they have confusion chosing the role whether to take vanthiyathevan who comes all along the story or the hero arulmozhivarmar.
anyhow as vijay said if it is made into a film the all our imaginations will be ruined.

u can only feel the story and not describe about it can read it anynumber of times and from anywhere and still ur interest won't fall down u just don't read a novel actually u live it and all the songs quoted also stay in ur memory foreg. kandein kandein kandein kannukiniyanai kandein. etc., u come across a variety of characters and yet each one of them are important and cotribute to the story in their own way u can just go on saying things but the best way to comment over it is just read it once more or introduce it to a new person who haven't read it will be a good experience.

Oh well what words can do justice to Ponniyin Selvan ? I read the first three parts in physical format and the last two parts in electronic format....None of todays english novels can come anywhere near this master piece....

Hello friends,

Really I am very happy that these much fans are there to Ponniyin Selvan (here after we may call as "PS").
I have read three times the PS from my childhood days in Kalki weekly cuttings where we can feel the character on us by Maniam selvam drawings of each and every part. So the good way of making this book is through Kalki weekly, if it is running now.
And also I would like to tell that "If anybody want to feel the days of Rajaraja Cholan ("RC"), you have to go once Thanjavur Big temple and Palace.
I use to go regularly there whenever I visited to native. Yes, Thanjavur is my native and am proud of it.
Have a visit to Big temple at the morning time which is good time to feel the great architecture of RC and his contemporarians and have ride to Palace at evening time. The present palace is actually not a RC's one, it is Maratia king's ("MK"). I heard that RCs palace was located near Srinivasapuram area behind to Big temple. Recently somebody has found one great pillar built 1000 years ago while digging there for house construction. Come to present palace, here the vibration, lighting and smell which I felt of by the buildings and things is really carrying me to the RC's days. The same vibrations might have pesent in the RC's days. Becaue this present palace was built in the same sand of RC's 300 to 400 years ago by MKs. These feelings I had from my childhood days whenever I visted the Palace with my grandpa. So please have a ride to Thanjavur to fulfill the PS fan.
Thanks to share my thoughts.

Rajesh.

hi friends
gr8 to find that there are so many ppl who liked the novel.i too,have read the novel numerous times,since my child hood days.but i have one query in my mind ,for which unfortunately,i cudnt find any answer in the novel.who really is the father of nandhini?kalki ,himself has not answered this question clearly..In one part he says she is the daughter of the pandia king whom she tried to save.Then in some another place he says she was born to another guy whom he refers as karunthiraman,who saved her from the sea.
Can someone throw some light on this...
