Morning well spent with a cup of steaming filter coffee and the exciting characters from Ponniyin Selvan. 😌

Having read historical fiction from other countries and even Northern India, I felt it was high time to come back to my roots - to Southern India.

And what a fun journey its been so far! I‘m still on Volume 1 and there are two more to go. Can‘t wait to experience this epic journey through the books, before the movie comes out.

So excited to start this. PONNIYIN SELVAN,which means the son of river Ponni, is written in Tamil (spoken in South India) during 1950s and was translated into English, it is said to be one of the best novels in Tamil literature. It has 5 parts and I would like to finish it this year!!As a north indian, I am wary of the cultural references which I might not get but I have wanted to read this for a long time.
