A supernatural thriller story written by Indira Soundarrajan. 

This is the ultimate book of lists throwing light on the "firsts" of planet Earth. The origin of man, the birth and death of civilizations, wars and empires, the beginning of the universe - all this and more is covered in this comprehensive journey in to the past, present and future. And Madan makes it all so enjoyable. With his easy flowing style and ready humor, he turns a complex voyage in a time machine into a walk in the park.

Madan's Vandargal Vendrargal is an enjoyable listen as much as it is packed with facts of history. Who would not enjoy listening to history so written? Itâ¿¿s never too late, even if you missed out during your schooldays. You can make up by lapping up Madan's sugarcoated Moghul history.
