Shame on me! Not once before I attempted to find out if there are any blogs in tamil written/read in tamil. Thanks to our friend Sathya, who took the pain to let us know some blogs in tamil. Its great that tamilians, wherever they may be, are not far behind. Here is a list for you, get ready to be touched.
There are good number of tamil websites and blogs with great content to keep you busy until you find the end of the internet.
NRISpot.com/tamil gives you an easy to way to browse through and track good tamil online content. They also have english, hindi, telugu, and other useful content for Indians.
Below, some of my picks:
This young lady is doing a great service to tamil and deserves a sure mention in the tamil onine world. I am sure you will agree after you spend a while reading her stuff. Isnt this what I should also be doing? even if it is a short step towards giving back to my native community.

Just another blog, it gives me a flavor of writing in tamil. As I think about it, I feel like I have lost my real ability to write in tamil, thanks I could still read it. Shame on me again.

More than his writing, which are all very good, his tagline stuck me hard. It would have been just another tag line if said in english ‘saving my thoughts’, but read that in tamil ‘Sindhiththadhai Ellam Semiththu Vaikkiren’ on top corner on his site, its just honey to ears!

A couple of ezines in tamil…
My closeness to tamil has largely become conversational only. I read very few tamil website or books, though thanks to deep longings, I bought a few tamil books when I was in toronto last year and religiously read them in full soon. So I think my reading hasnt been that bad, though I doubt if I can read as fast. My writing…I honestly dont know, its been almost a decade since i have written a line in tamil. Trust me, I feel everything but happy about this.
