Ranam Sugam - A Review

Ranam Sugam – Pain is Good Coincidences happen a lot – Tamil World Conference started from Wednesday and I have been reading and listening to a tamil book and music! ;) A Tamil musical Novelette by Padhai is a new concept which interested and impressed me a lot. Firstly I would like to thank them because after long time I got to read tamil and refresh my reading skills in this language ;) Am sure you would have seen the promo’s and even a chapter’s translation in Sree’s Blog and the Music Review in Meghana’s blog.

There is a contest in internal blog world and a few that i had put up there. Fear She was completely scared and shivering. She was all alone. She was drenched in sweat. She wanted to scream but no sound came from her mouth. Suddenly she saw him. He had a gun in his hand. He was slowly approaching. He pointed the gun to shoot And the TV screen went blank! Power cut! Blame She entered the room happy and excited to tell her daughters she had finally got some money to give as dowry for their weddings. We are a huge burden to you. Its better to die than being a humiliation to you. Sorry. Suicide note left by her daughters. Their Mother cried. Who is to blame? Forgiveness He couldn't control his car and before he realized he had rammed his car somewhere. He somehow got down his car and went behind car and saw two people lying, killed by his drunken driving. He started crying and kneeled down there praying to God - Please forgive me. I will not drink and drive again. Do or Die!! He felt d...
