Dear Friends,
I have read Ponniyin Selvan many times over. I do not know any one who has read it only once. I know of at least two persons to whom Ponniyin Selvan was read aloud (because they could not read Tamil) who later learnt Tamil script so that they could and did read the book and savour it entirely by themselves. It is not uncommon that as one is reading the book, many of the characters appear in one's dreams! Is there an exception ?
Ponniyin Selvan is not a novel. It is an epic!

ah ponniyin selvan! it is like living in the old age. now i am 50 yrs old and i read ponniyin selvan twice. i still remember almost all the characters. the brave vandhiyathevan, the handsome arulmozhi, fragile vaanathi, brave old periya pazhuvettaraiyar, his brother chinna pazhuvettaraiyar @ kaalaanthaga kandar, the royal mother chembian maadevi, the unpredictable aditya karikalan, mysterious nandhini, soft but strong kundavai nachiar, poonguzhali, her father thyaga vidangakkaraiyar, the warrior vaishnavite azhvaarkadiyan nambi, senthan amudhan, kanda maaran.., oh it is a long list. even places like kodikkarai and kuzhagar koil, uraiyur are immemorable. i just love ponniyin selvan and am a fan of kalki. i am happy that there are friends with whom i can share my feelings about the great epic.

It is a masterpiece in Tamil Literature and a handbook for historians. I strongly believe that every individual who can read Tamil should have read this book. Are there any e-version of the book available?!!!

finally i found some people who love Ponniyin selvan as much as i do.i cannot tell u how crazy i am about this story.Every charecter is evergreen especially the incredibly swash buckling vandhiyathevan and the cool and clever aazhvaarkadiyan nambi.the best thing about kalki is the lovely sense of humour in the entire book,something u normally dont expect from historicals.A must read for all Tamils and everyone else too.Ponniyin selven ROCKS!!!!
