    Dear Sridharji,
    Excellent narration, you are taking us back to historic period n you have put it correctly feminine feelings about new bride,

    "Oh my dear river Ponni! Can there be any lass who will not be thrilled in seeing your beautiful form? Or can there be any woman who will not become ecstatic on seeing you run towards your beloved?"
    I loved this lines....... by the by kudagu is spelled as Kodagu, Kodava land.......pls make this correction.......(I just wanted to let you know.......)

    Kunthavai name has very nice ring to it I am not surprised some reader named his DD I want to know its meaning........
    I guess now ladies have arrived so it will go on becoming interesting I think Vanathi is in love with Arul...Verman (I dont remember name properly).............

    Wow Sridhar !!! simply superb...

    Loved the description of Cauvery...too good..I had been to Srirangapatnam near mysore a few years ago. I was sitting at the banks enjoying the beatiful sight for a long time... feeling nostalgic now.. want to go back and look at Cauvery once again through Kalki's eyes..what a writer indeed !!!!

    Also, loved the explanation of the pricess for the sun and the dew drop.. very beautiful...

    Dear Sridhar,
    This episode is full of metaphors! The hidden poet is brought to the fore in this episode! Of course, you would say that is the translation of the original, but even then...... your translation must have only added colour to the original beauty! Made interesting reading and the curiosity has been aroused further!
    Love
    Malathi

    Dear Sridhar
    Yes no words can describe how this story is going on it is just marvellous, excellent.
    The way you have described the Cauvery river as a maiden was just awesome.

    Dear Sridhar Sir,

    These chapters were really awesome!!! Like everyone else I too enjoyed the description of Cauvery, the two ladies, the sun and the dew drops para…it was toooooo good.

    You know what I wished for…:) (do you remember the amar chithra katha of our days..their pictures used to be beautiful. I still remember how fascinated I was with shakunthala..) if I remember properly I have heard my mother talking about kalkis heroines… that they were picturized very lovely?…I would love to see the picture of princess kunthavai..so beautiful and aristocratic …and I find her a very interesting personality …reading this with pictures would transport one into a totally different land. No wonder people used to wait for the weekly episodes.:)

    And just for my info… was this novel ever made into a movie??? It seems to have got all the ingredients…but I guess the language is what made it such a great hit. I just want to assure you that you are doing an excellent job with the English version too.:thumbsup
    I am really enjoying it..
