Ponniyin Selvan

I have heard lot about this novel 'Ponniyin selvan'. Finally I got a chance to read now a days. I am very much interested into learning history, especially that of Tamilnadu as I am proud about it. This book brings everything infront of the eyes with effects more than what James Cameroon did in AVATAR.

The book goes like seeing from within the mind of the hero 'Vandhiyathevan' . Kalki writes what is happening in the mind/consciousness of the hero into this book. So whenever you read the book, you feel like you are inside Vandhiyathevan's brain and seeing the story. So I feel it is more than 3D movie.

Simply to put forward, the book takes you back in time and make you yearn for that kind of life. Because that life is slow and full of colors, celebrations and people work for themselves and their people. Even though there is a war, the people die for their people (which is a small circle and not a big country as of today, where Indians die in Europe fighting for British and British die in Afghanistan fighting Talibans .. Bull Shit !!! ). Now a days I am working for foreign country for their happiness. I get money with which I cannot stay near my family and enjoy the way I wanted. Holy Shit !!! That age is really beautiful and interesting than today....
