Review: Sitha Jaalam
Sitha Jaalam by Indira Soundarajan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A simple book about couple of Siddhars, as I came to know about Siddhars from Mi.Pa.Somu's two bound volume "Siddhar Elakiyem". Bit disappointed the author has not touched or gone into much details. In the end the author promises that he will write about them in his future book. Waiting eagerly.
