Very interesting introduction.. Hoping to understand Mahabharatham in this series of podcasts.

Suresh, nan romba naala indha booka padikanumnu ninaichundae irundhen but never materialized. Ippo ella audiovum donwload panni kettundu iruken.
Good stuff : indha maathiri oru muyarchi has to be appreciated. When there are people commenting about vetti politics, cinema reviews, talking about themselves and their achievements, indha topic is very refreshing, konjam intellectuala iruku.
Enaku unga personalitykum suthama match kidayadhu. neenga edhula ellam believe panreengalo adhula enaku belief kidayadhu, edhula believe pannalayo enaku adhula rombave belief iruku :-) but who cares I enjoy your recitation and examples cause its logical. For ex you are an atheist and am not. Ungaloda personal influence idhula irundhalum adhu konjama iruku. which is the best. For ex neenga dmk supporter illana therijudhu but u dont propaganda it. ungaluku saibaba belief illennu theriyum and u spoke ur thoughts but not spoken to hurt the sentiments of such devotees. Oruthara hurt panradhu romba easy neenga andha vishayathula carefulla irukeenganu naan sollala because u are just speaking live to the mic. which means ur character itself is like that. adhunaala thaan yarum hurt aagama pesamudiyudhu. Only when subconsciously certain thigs are in your blood it will be projected. So i really appreciate it.
Bad : idha sollalenna eppadi :-)
(idhu enna poruthavaraikum mattume bad) oru kadhaya alasum bodhu andha full details sollanum, idhu kadhaiku theva illanu nammalae decide panna koodathu. Theva illena edhuku vyasa mention pannanum or cho adha ezhudhanum. So details fulla sollanunga. Even if it becomes 2 months to complete its quality work. I have listened to 5 of the chapters now but in many many places I find "idhu kadhaiku theva illa so discuss pannala" which is not good. Engaluku interest irukaadhunu neenga thappu kanakku potteenga.

Finally, You Being an atheist I am really excited about how you are going to talk about Gita, belief in karma, reincarnation and especially the 11th chapter of vishwa roopa dharisanam of Krishna :-)
But ofcourse dont jump the gun, i will wait.

I just heard the first intro and I am writing to appreciate the effort. I dont know to read tamil very well, though I was born and brought up in Madras. Well I learned tamil on my own from reading movie posters and stuff. Nevertheless I purchased both the volumes of Mahabaratham Persukiradhu... Just to improve my tamil. I did start reading just the first few pages and wanted to read more but something or the other comes up and I stop.. Now I guess this podcast will help me to keep my reading the book interest high and helpful. So I want to thank you for the same. Any book can be interpreted by different reader's differently.. So I guess what you are doing giving your own view is just as good, as it shows the persons involvment in the book and the topic.
Cheers, geetha
