Similarities between PS and SS
Hi All, The one other similarity I find in SS, PS and Parthiban Kanavu is the wonderful way in which Kalki describes nature. You feel the suns rays, the water glistening, the moon beams and thousand butterflies.....

Thanks so much Pavithra. I have read parts of your book on your blog, just counting seconds to get my hands on one of the first copies. Do tell me who the publisher is, so that I can get a copy sooner than it gets to the book shops.

Greatness is often enrobed in humility and sincere humbleness. To conquere another land and expand one's kingdom seemed a natural aim those days. Probably all the kings heart of heart wanted to build a "United Tamil Kingdom" but war s…
