I think its time to analyse Paisasam....a fine piece of work by our Gokul....
Just finished Mohini theevu last night and it rang a distnat bel with paisasam
For a start the them was different a thriller that too a supernatural thriller set in the historical times....the charectors are all well defined the names with a historic lilt...
Thiruvarangan the protector of the village the padi kavalan is trying to unravel the mysterious happenings in his village all attributed to the ghost of a mentally challenged boy who dies mysteriously a year ago... He seeks the help of his teacher Venaataar...there are list of physical suspects as they all act mysteriosly from the Koil Poosari, the Washerwoman..etc. How Venaataar unravels the mystery and illuminates him and saves the village is the story.
The style is very much akin Kalki the author conversing to the audience every now and then durng his story telling.
The suspense is preserved till the very end and its where Gokul scores..He does give the unexpected twists in the end...
The changing scenarios or the description surely require great accolades not to mention the pictures to illustrate the various landmarks...
Gokul we are proud of you....
PS Group...and the creativist in PS group I have a request why not make a teleserial of Paisasam...
You have have the script...screen play...the sequence...the location for the serial...
All we need is a star cast and directors and music...
I think we can form a consortium to produce it
What do you all think...
Atleast we would have decreased the bloodpressure and saved some tears in all those watching weeping teleserials

Thanks for all the kind comments, Sri.
PS group members are the ones who actively read my novels and provide valuable feedbacks. I still remember that originally rajakesari was featured in PS group and the positive kudos you provided then. All these pats go a long way as I try to sit down and write something amidst official and household scores
Paisaasam was initially not well accepted - especially after a novel like Rajakesari with its historic settings. But as it grew chapter after chapter, there were more and more audiance who began to appreciate the flow.
Paisaasam was originally writen as a short story for "Kalvettu kadhai" series when varalaaru.com was started. But I was astonished as I completed the story - I thought I am not doing any justice either to the village or the wondeful inscription. I did not publish the story and wrote another one called "sendhan" which went with the first issue.
Happy that people like you - who have read almost every other historic novel written in tamil - are able to enjoy the plot.
I am glad another member has brough PAISASAM back to the discussion. I would really recommend members to read it. It is there in Varalaaru.com
The twists and turns of a page turning thriller.. in the historical background in just great and of course there is a twist in the tale in the end as well
A well worthy read...If any one has the money get the TV rights off Gokul..It will make a fantastic serial as opposed to our family DDDDDDDDDDDDRRRRRRRamas
