Kanni Maadam

Kanni Maadam- Book Review..


First of all, writing the pure Tamizh names to echo the same is really tough.. However here is my take..

I must appreciate the writer for writing it so lengthy. Even though in few places the description of the situation is dragging, but is not failing to impress neither it is hurts the story line..

The storyline, takes back to the world of king and war! Once upon a time, Tamilnadu was open to dangerous. Everyone wants to rule it because of the wealth or someone gave them space to stay!

The story revolves around Madurai and Nellai. During that time, the primary rulers were Pandiyas  (Madurai) and Cholas (Nellai). During the thayathi war, Parakrama pandya was killed by Kulasekhara Pandiya. Before dying, he sought help from Illangarapuran to fight with Kulasekaran. Illllangarapuran defeated Kulasekara Pandyan and made Veerapandiyan as king i.e Parakirama Pandya’s son. So it become like a joke i.e I am wearing a shirt but it is not mine.. or in same line, Rajiv Gandhi and Soniya Gandhi.  Hence, Veerapandiyan is not keen in kingdom/ Mostly, he preferred to spend time on anthapuram with Madhavi i.e Illangarapuran daughter -in-law.  Due to his ignorance on state affairs, Illangarapuram started taking advantage of Tamilian and wealth. He was slowly moving the wealth from Tamilnadu to Lanka.

People started hating Veera panidyan for his ignorance but still no one raised voice against him. They were few who wanted freedom from Lanka. The only person who could do that is Abharajithan , Veera pndiyan’s brother , highly skilled warrior and leader.

On the other side, Kulasekara Pandiya was waiting for his time to rule over again Madurai and get rid of Illangapuran.  Interestingly, to win over Illangarapuran, he needed additional support from Mazhavaraya!  Knowing that Kulasekara pandiyan wants to initate a war, Veerapandya required additional support from Mazhavarayan. Both parties needs to handshake with Mazhavarayan and whoever wins the deal would be ruling Madurai!   The way of handshaking is to get Kuzhali married to one of the king. In-short, whoever marries Kuzhali will be getting support of Mazhavarayan and his army!

Due to certain circumstances and to make the situation much more simple, Kuzhai gets herself kidnapped with the help of Adigalar and veera pandiya (Kulasekaran’s Son) and hide herself in Kanni Maadam.  Kannai Maadam was constructed in a such way that it cannot be broken that easily. With the serious of events , Abharajithan happen to protect the Kanni Maadam.  

Finally, story is how Illangarapuran is send out of Tamil nadul and who marries Kuzahali…

Climax is that Tamil nadu is free from Lanka and Abharajitha marries Kuzahali where both of them loses their position in kingdom and live a normal life in Kanni Maadam..

All gold..

 As part of my job, I get to embrace a lot of gold chains/bracelets/rings /earrings, and being a woman, the temptations are real, to wear and own it. These desires grew stronger day by day, which landed me in a spot through the receptionist, where there is no camera coverage and with a deal that I have to allow her to wear it for a selfie. Well, one is taken care of, the wanting to possess at least a few did not allow me to sleep. I could not afford to buy any one of them because our peanut salary gets invisible into the endless loan, education fees, and all the bills. I did not want to become a gold thief, hence for now decided to sleep over the thought.  Days flew fast as the gossip on my Instagram jewel post. Few thought I won the lottery and interestingly, few assumed that my husband is getting black money in his IT job. Whatever the gossips where, but it made me feel like a celebrity in my neighborhood.  All the unknown faces become known. I got to choose the vegetab...

Impartiality.

  Today  Mythili, “get ready soon. We are late!”. “Why in such a hurry? We have good 30 mins to catch the bus. To be specific, I do not want to wait at the bus stand. The bus stand, that has taken my son’s life. I know something happened there and no one wants to share with me anything”. She sits on the sofa, not wanting to cry but still her tears reveal the pain that she is going through for the last 5 years. Guilty and feeling helpless! Sigh! I am hoping from today the days are going to be better. Suddenly the wreath falls from his photo, acknowledging my hope. His smile and that innocence,  at least once, I want to ask him,  "Am I not a good father?" 5 days back: After my son killed himself, Mythili lost herself in a different world. She stopped sleeping and eating. During those days, my situation was the same as hers. I could not do anything much to take care of her. Once I moved to the office, I managed to divert the pain, but she locked herself in a room and wa...
