My first historical short story.
Dear Natarajan, That was refreshing to read. It was thoughtful of you to upload the file in PDF format, as i could not read it from my browser. Guess we can expect a novel from you soon.

happy birthday : Swami Vivekananda
I think the reason why Vivekanada and Buddha and others like him are revered even after so many years is that, they belived in their ideals and dared to do it in their day today life. Only a very few could dare to do what they really belive in. That…

happy birthday
Yes, I agree Bhrathi was not an ideal father nor an ideal husband. Hope you are aware of the situation when he sang "Thani manithanuku una villayenil Jagathnai azlithivum" (pardon my english tamil, ). Can you imagine the plight of the man…

happy birthday
Being a poet, the options to earn are very few in those days. There is no film industry to earn and live in luxary. He has to sing to the kings and zamindars of those days, who themselfs were lying at the feet of british. His pride would have killed…

Respect and Admiration
hi deepa, your mails have really become fun to read and it is becoming infectious. to be specific your use of phrases like "rocks big time", "cool dude", i think would have been used for the first time in this mailing list.

Hi all
hi, many would suggest (including myself) Sandilyan's Yavana Rani and Kadal Pura. if you have old (3 or 4 years) Kalki magazine, you could find a couple of novels by an authour called "Viswakesan". I found his novels entertaining and…

Kalki Vs Sandilyan
Dear Arun, This is touche. Even the write up is no lesser story, considering the fact these days short story have become so short it is being written in a single line.

Kalki's Impact
Sir, IMO many tamil writers are not writing for a common reader like me. There are thousands of books that are well acclaimed, but the question is how of them actually reached the general public. I also heard the criticism over Kalki for his writi…

Pitfalls vs Glorification
Hi, Parthiban Kanvu is full of nationalist and freedom sentiment. Mixing the history with nationlistic feeling and that too in a interesting way could be one of his ways of freedom movement.

Pitfalls vs Glorification
Sir, Kalki's forte was his ability to mix facts with the fiction. I remember one particular story well. It is called poimaan karadu. It is about a illusion in a hill that looks like a deer at some place near Namakkal. When traveled through …
