About Kalki
Any reason why Kalki to have mixed up these? KAN Shastri's COLAS was first published in 1937. SO Kalki must have had the reference rt? Or is it possible that the first edition was ambigious in these lines

HISTORY - as a subject while studying
The reason history in school is found boring with kids is that they are forced to learn the dates and events without much significance to them. If they introduce a historical fiction in their non-detail and then deal with the related core history in…

age of heroines
Aditha Karikalan was 12 when he cut off Veerapandyan's head and before that may be when he was 10 or 11, he was in 'Love' with Nandhini who must be arnd the same age or older than AK. I guess the PS story starts off may be 8 yrears …

I liked the way Kalki described the beauty of Tamil Land and Kaveri. The closely intertwined History and Fiction in the naration.

nandhini's father :: Lateral thinking
I would agree that with Sundara Chozhar. How his love for Mandakini changes to hatred during the last few days of his life. That was a good study of human psychology. But Nadhini contracting herself, calling Veerapandiyan 'Anbe' when other…

Nandhini's father
But Sembiyanmadevi would have definitely known when Nandini and Sendan and Madhuranthakan were born since all 3 were born on the same day or with in a day or twos gap to enable her to switch the kids. So all possiblity that AM would have got the inf…

CERN and NATRAJA
Although i learnt a lot of stuff from them, Somehow i was not impressed by angels and deamons or digital fortress. Da Vinci Code was a masterpiece though. I felt Digital Fortress was particularly very predictable as to what is going to happen next.

CERN and NATRAJA
Actually it was said that Internet was invented by US military. But this was refuted in Angels and Daemons. Any authentic proof abt CERN inventing it?
