NandhaNow, for one last time....
Last Thirukkural reference in the last book describing why the book was written. Vera level meta :)
"கூடிமுயங்கும்"
"கூடிமுயங்கும்"
So, ultimately the Pudhiya Vedham did not do what it was intended to do?? Then, what's the point? I am asking the same question that everyone asks :)
This line was in Indraneelam. Also, must be one of the two times a direct Sanskrit verse has been used, along with Maa Nishadha.
These lines remind me of this painting.

I wrote this article almost five years back when I had no clue what Venmurasu is. He is trying to answer those questions in his way.

And, I finish Mudhalavin - Venmurasu 26, and the series herewith. It was an amazing journey through narrative techniques, Thanithamizh, some tearjerking and goosebumps inducing moments, philosophical debates, political questions, existential crises and what not. More than anything, I am simply dumbstruck at the eternity of this epic called Mahabharatha and the way it has travelled with me, posing questions at every point, every juncture in my life, offering extremely different interpretations.
I read it as a kid in a short form, I have consumed form after form as a schoolboy, a college going teenager and as an adult, yet my thirst for the epic and the quest for the questions it poses remains unsated. To quote Jeyamohan himself, "ஒருபோதும் சொல்லி முடியாது இக்கதை".
