A room for every Tamil speaker
Tamil Chat brings together people from Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, Sri Lankan Tamils, and the large Tamil communities in Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, the UK and the Gulf. Type in Tamil script or in Tanglish, the Roman-letter mix most people use on their phones.
Say "vanakkam" or "enna panra?" and you will get a reply.
Kollywood, cricket and filter coffee
First-day-first-show stories, debates over the greatest Kollywood star, Ilaiyaraaja versus A. R. Rahman, CSK loyalty, and the never-ending question of where to find the best filter coffee. Pongal and Deepavali bring the room alive with greetings and food photos described in loving detail.
