  • Hi Chandra,
    We both are from NJ and we are good friends,
    Not just b'cos of Ponniyin Selvan but b'cos we belong
    to the same training batch.Also we work for the same
    company but in different offices. On seeing your
    website Varalaaru.com and also after reading about
    your groups we got interested to join with you guys.
    Since I'm from the Chola Country, I used to tell her
    about the folk lores and the granduers of the Chola
    Country. Which made her too, to read Ponniyin Selvan
    and get interested in knowing about the cholas. I
    don't know whether u guys wud believe this
    or not. But our original names are what we have said.


    Has this now cleared your doubts??
  • Very interesting. :)
  • hi,
    Correct if it was the original name it is ok..
    My friends name is vaanathi..but u know how people pronounce that..they
    call it as v-a-nn-aa-thi (washerman) even in blore they call her like that
    Its nice to hear that people spell out correctly in NJ..
  • Cool. what an interesting co-incidence.....
