ஞாயிறு கடிதம் (Sunday Letters)

I have been handwriting Sunday Letters in my native tongue, Tamil, for over a year. Why would anyone handwrite in this digital savvy world? As much as I would love to use a keyboard and publish letters, typing classes or using a Tamil keyboard was never a part of my school curriculum, and I did not make an effort to learn.

As I had been handwriting consistently and successfully publishing letters every Sunday for several months, I then asked myself, why not compile all of these letters and publish them as a book? Today, the compilation of all my hand-written letters published every Sunday in 2023 is in this book, ‘Sunday Letters’.

Thank You & Happy Reading!
