Ponniyin Selvan!

For one who officially read Tamil in school for 2 years.. 1st and 2nd standard, by the way - I managed to complete the 5 volumes of Ponniyin Selvan :D. It feels like an immense achievement ;) though I think I always knew I could read the language well and quick.. though, I may not be able to write that well :|

Anyway, initially I thought the plot was quite predictable.. but there was a quick turnaround at the end leaving me quite pleasantly surprised. No wonder, its called one of the most successful novels in Tamil !

I also think some of the "Tamizh" names are wonderful. Has anybody wondered how beautiful a name "Poonguzhali" is, once you get the "zha" bit correct :)

Alors, Felicitations! and more Tamizh reading to you :)
