today and kalki
I see Kalki is strongly influenced by the present day happenings which gets reflected in the book. A number of his writings reflects the freedom struggle. If he is alive today I think at least one of his articles or fiction would be about the region…

Kandanmaran in Suranga paadhai
Rahul and RV, I agree Kalki might have mistaken in juggling Nandini's character across the PS, but I still hold it as his masterstroke. May be not intentional. Tell me which is most two discussed point in PS, My take would be 1. Who killed Ad…

Nandini was about to be thrown in the pyre by Ravidasan for not protecting Veerapandiyan from Aditya. Ravidasan says this to Nandini in the first book. I don't this we could infer that she is Veerapandiyan's wife from this.

ANCIENT AND MODERN MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS
Just a doubt, has Thirukural or Thiruvalluar been mentioned in any other ancient work. There should some history available with each of the work right, like Raja Rajan bringing out Devaram from the Chidambaram, is there any history associated with T…

I remember a conversation I had with Natarajan sir and Sathyamurthy sir during the cave men trip, in which Nataranjan mentioning Thiruvaluvar being a jain because of no reference to a God in the thirukural. Considering that age in which all the arts…

Descendent of the Great Chola Dynasty
Hi Shirley, I remember seeing your post sometime back in the group. I was curious at that time to ask whether Shirley was you name at that time, since that I found to be an unusual name.

nandhini again
Hi, I was just wondering what made you to hate Vanathi so much. She was timid initially, gets manipulated by Kundavai, but gets stronger towards the 5th book. I found Vanathi an adorable character.

The never ending discussion of Nandini again :). Nandini is one of characters Kalki has given a glimpse from the birth, childhood, adulthood. The changes in Nandini would be very clearly shown through the course of the novel. Even Kundavi would men…

Benazir - History repeats
Hi Udanx, Your reasoning is at fault, since Pakistan is their closest ally with India behind and China at the end of the stack. So no point in creating a political vacuum there. Who ever may be the brain behind, the brunt is on the people of paki…

Hi, Akhizan wrote Vengayin Maindan in 1960's(i suppose). that is a different book. It cannot be called as a sequel to PS, but a great novel about Rajendra. Kaveri Maithan is the book written by R Venkatesh, one of the most active members of t…

A clarification for Nayagan. Maniratnam used the word Adaptation rather than inspired. Even in the Times magazine, where Nayagan was the only indian movie in the top 100, it is stated as Adaptation of God Father. There are many who copied and have c…
