I can't seem to find pictures of Nandini the seductress,who could make the legs of strong men turn to Jell-O!

dunno if you're gonna read this one..can i know where you got the illustrations from? I'm really interested in getting some of the illustrations by manian from the original ponniyin selvan.

I found it online somewhere. I think my mum had the original magazine issues bound into one of those schoolbookish-looking pink-and-white-flowered volumes. I remember finding them when we were moving once. I'll find out from her if she still has it.

Knew this woman who claimed that Manians illustrations were based on her. If i cannot find the originals maybe I can pass on her address :)

Thanks, that would be great. I'm embarking on this adventure of trying to pen some of these illustrations out of interest and as a revival for my artistic ways. Any help would be wonderful. In that sense I'm not sure knowing the original woman would help now ;-)
