PonniyinSelvan : A must Read for every Tamilian

Hello everyone.. Good morning/noon/evening.. I thought i could share my view about a greatest book "பொன்னியின் செல்வன் / PonniyinSelvan "  written by a famous writer known as "கல்கி / Kalki "..
You may wonder what's so great about this book? I just know from my experience that everything is great about this book.. It portrays the life of  "CHOLA Kings" who once were a great kingdom in Tamilnadu.. The story revolves around a young soldier named ' Vallavaraiyan Vandiyathevan' who serves to the chola kings.. He begins his journey to see the king of cholas as the book starts.. He comes from a clan named "Vaanar Kulam" who once ruled Tamilnadu like cholas and pandiyas.. His greatest dream is to serve the chola kings honestly and get back his "vaana Naadu" from them.. He travels a lot and faces many problems which a normal human cannot face to fulfill his ambitions.. He lies a lot through his travel to escape from his enemies and at last meets a great man named "Arulmozhi" who is the second son of the then King "Sundara Cholar".. Arulmozhi is a great man who never lied in his lifetime and 'll never do.. He says that he loves two women.. they are "Nermai" and "Sathiyam".. Our hero Vandthiyathevan who was a king of lies till then, changes his character to speak only truth as soon as he sees our "Arulmozhi".. The story has a lot of ups and downs and turning points which will keep you in the edge of the seat as if you are watching a great movie.. Guys.. I fell in love with this book after reading it.. If timemachine is available for real, the one time i would like to go is to tat time when Arulmozhi lived.. Really.. Give it a try..
