Sathiya, those were good questions on enRenRum anbudan. I have a related one on that novel.
enRenRum anbudan muthal pAthiyil "peN enbavaL prakruthi, ANukku nigarththa oru nalla snEhidhi, intha samUkaththil AN-peN natpukku angeekarippu illai, adhanAl athai viLakkuvathaRku nam mozhiyil nalla vArththaigaL kooda illai" enRu aRivupUrvamAkavum uNarchchipUrvamAgavum kathaiyin muthal pakuthiyil ezhuthiya neengaL, iraNdaam paguthiyil raaghavanaiyum sabithaavaiyum kaadhalargaLaagavum, kaNavan-manaiviyaagavum aakki vidugiReergaL. adhu muRpakuthiyil neengaL sollum theLivaana vaadhangaLaith thOrkadiththu, samUkaththin santhEgappArvaiyE sari enRu niroobippadhu pOlirukkiRathu. Is that the final message you wish to send to your readers in this book?

May be I'm interpreting her character differently from the way you intended.

A liberated woman is not a man-hater--that's a very male perspective of a liberated woman. A really liberated woman is very clear on who she is as a person, is in touch with her feminine and masculine sides (arththanaareeswari), and understands how to co-exist with the other half of the humans, in my opinion.

OK, In that case I would like to ask one question to him. Did he really direct the movie "Idhu Namma
Aalu" Or Baghyaraj just used his name for not getting into trouble, because of the brahmin subject?
