Udal Manukku, Uyir Thamizhukku (Body for the Earth, Life for Tamil)

Udal Manukku, (Body for the earth)
Uyir Thamizhukku, (Life for Tamil)
Idhai Urakka Solvom Ulagukku (Lets say it loudly to the world)
...... the immortal lines from Mani Ratnam's "Iruvar"

- Jackie Chan and Ben Affleck spouting Tamil in Sun TV and Vijay TV in Tamil dubbed Hollywood films. Not just that, Jackie Chan also quotes the Sage of Tamil - Tiruvalluvar
- Chennai is the only FM circle where Radio Mirchi is completely vernacular
- Disney is commencing a tamil toon channel

What more pride for a Tamilian. Increasingly I see a lot of youngsters who seem to be taking a lot of pride in speaking Tamil. Nativity in tamil films is on the increase. Signs of good times.

One of my college pal always insists that we speak only in Tamil when we interact. Which I do passionately even in office and with my customers. Not that I really care what they feel about it. When in Chennai and when in Tamil Nadu, speak Tamil, live Tamil, breathe Tamil.

Well Google is in Tamil. Just hope Sergey Brin and Larry Page do thir bit to blogspot too, to facilitate Tamil blogging .
