Parthiban Kanavu - Wiki

I just finished formatting the entire novel in Wikisource.

When I first saw it, the contents were there but were badly placed, like the conversations are clogged into single paragraph.

Formatting the chapters (count: 77) took almost a day to complete. Nevertheless enjoyed reading it again while doing. I also added image to the main page and indexes. :-)

This is the first time I am contributing something in wikisource. great feeling !

பொன்னியின் செல்வன்!

யாம் படித்த புதினங்களிலே பொன்னியின் செல்வனைப் போல் இனிதாவது எங்கும் காணோம்!

I started first few chapters very casually in wiki, but couldn't stop reading this historic novel day and night, in office and home :) It took me 1000 years back into the Chola kingdom. I felt my body and mind swinging back and forth between 1000 AD and 2010 AD.

The narration is easy to read and simply superb - தேன் தமிழ் வார்த்தைகள்!
