JK,
I think “Palm Leaf” sounds good. Why do you want “talapatram?” Only because it’s in Sanskrit? Or maybe to be consistent with “varnam?” At least I like Palm Leaf.
Sandeep, The idea was to have an Indian name. But both Indian names are difficult to say whereas varnam was easy even for a non-native. Still thinking what to do…
Pana Olai?
Or actually, why not Charitram? or Itihasam?
With due respect, Palm Leaf sounds just as fine. Talaptara unnecessarily complicates matters
