Parthiban Kanavu in English - Start Here

We are pleased to bring you a complete, unabridged translation of Kalki's Parthiban Kanavu, (பார்த்திபன் கனவு - Parthiban's Dream). 

The translation has been done in a way that is loyal to the original, and also remains accessible to people who do not understand Tamil. For example, we have avoided the use of Tamil exclamations, expressions and salutations for clarity and accessibility. We wanted it to read as if it was written originally in English. We also tried to emulate Kalki's simple, fluent style in the English version. Let us know if we succeeded in our goals.

Here are a few easy links for you to start with.

I (Anand) want to call out:

• Malathi Kannan (my mom) and Sujatha Chakravarthi, (wife) for proof-reading. Amazing how many mistakes escape you when you re-read your own writing!
• Readers (most of them anonymous), who provided encouragement and the impetus to keep going.
