Reading a Tamil book after a long time, it's a different feeling. The description of characters and their behaviours in this beautiful language, adds a tinge of enchantment and happiness.
It's a just like any other social drama, felt like watching an old Tamil movie of 60-70.
Even though there is so much of exaggeration and extreme sentiments, the beauty of the language made it a point to read through this novel..
