I want to become a member of your group. I like Kalki's Ponniyin Selvan very much. It is very interesting that there is one group for the great man. I really very enjoying.
Hi, One small clarification,I am a new member to your group.Writer Kalki is my Favourite writer.Actually I don't know how many times,I read P.S. I always have a doubt, That Kalki had Oru thali kathal?(one side love) usha
Dear All, Ponniyin Selvan,I am still to read them.Happy to be here and learn and share. Just a small suggestion,How can Ponniyin Selvan be made more popular among the younger generations? I missed it when I was young,so thats one reason why I feel that it should be made more popular. I would be thankful to people if I get any links for Tamil readings on the net.
I am a new member and was wondering if someone could direct me to FAQ on PS.
Example: Where can I buy an English Translation in the US? Which version (I believe there are 2 or 3) is more authentic? Is there an online complete version? etc.
I am glad to be a part of the Kalki fans group. After PS, I have been very much interested in kalki's works and have also finished both SS & PK all within a month's time inspite of the busy schedule..
I do find varalaaru.com filled with so many interesting stuff, that I find myself reading their articles on a daily basis.
I am a new member. I am a great fan of Kalki. Ponniyin Selvan is my favorite Indian historical novel. I also like Parthiban Kannavu (I also like the black and white movie based on the book) and Sivagamiyin Sabatham. Kalki is a great writer because he got me (I used to hate history) interested in Indian history. Now I have a number of books on the History of Tamilnadu and the history of India.
I want to thank the moderator for allowing me to join this group.
As a new member first I would like to introduce myself as a Team leader, working in Acropetal Technologies Pvt Ltd in Bangalore. I finished my bachelor degree (Architecture) in Adhiyamaan College of engineering under Periyar University in May 2005. The basic architecture vocabulary is deriving by the condition of nature, function of space, people lifestyle and their culture & tradition. These are the terms to give an opportunity for the birth of different type of architecture styles. Our architecture is derived by our forefathers based upon our climatic conditions, culture & tradition. To know about our architecture development, first we should study our history in deep, so I hope to join this group I can develop my history knowledge.
I am Aravindhan.K.V, working as a Marine Radio Officer in an American Off shore Oil rig in Bombay High oil field, India. We are working for ONGC.
