    Dear Sri...

    First my apologies for not commenting on the first episode though I read the same immediately.... but could not post my comments..

    Superbbb start... the entry of the prince.... the space shared between the grandfather and grandson is awesome...

    The falcon and the dove was quite interesting..


    what a profound thinking... I read Rumi's quote on similar lines quite recently.... made me think on a lot on the same....

    The story is again looking up.... I am so happy you decided to post the same as I was missing it a lot....

    Great going Sri..:)

    Dear Sir,
    As this chapter covers the open conversation between a Grandpa and a Grandson, i could sense a lot of emotions flowing in.


    And from on, as Thirukkoviloor Kizhavar said (guess)all the characters are gonna caught in the clutches of destiny.

    Waiting eagerly for forecoming episodes

    Finally... the journye has resumed :clap

    I read all the three episodes in one go !! beautiful narration as usual...

    the grand fathers words come across like some prophecy...

    "no one can change the destination"

    "this is the last time I will be seeing you " etc.

    feeling sorry for karikalan...

    Dear Lalitha,
    no need for any apologies. I know you'd have definitely read that.
    This conversation is very important. And we come to know of Karikalan's character from this piece. And this is going to make many a twist in the story later on.

    Kalki just used a statue to explain what's there in the Prince's mind. And he also used it to bring out his character. That's tremendous.
    it was you who kept on asking for the next part. And I am here.
    thanks,
    sridhar

    Thank you, Jayani. Will be posting Chapter 4 shortly. Just came down from Chennai and hence the delay.
    please drop at least a single line of comment.
    thanks,
    sridhar

    Dear Mahisree,
    You are right. The conversation is rich with meanings. After you finish reading the whole 4th part if you come to this chapter again it'll carry a lot more meanings.
    Yes all the characters in this drama called life are caught in the clutches of destiny.
    thanks for coming in,
    regards,
    sridhar

    Dear Charu,
    I started missing you and then you came in. I am very happy to see you again. sorry for the delay in starting the next episode.
    I am writing a serial in facebook and was a little busy with the launching of my new book Oh My God. Hence the delay.

    Having a doomsday prophecy is a technique in story telling which Kalki has used to the full potential. This chapter is rich with meanings.
    thanks for being with me in this epic journey.
    regards,
    sridhar
