PS : Finding typesetting in Tamil difficult - hence the very arbitrary use of English letters to denote Tamil equivalents - will be helpful if someone can tell me the conventional substitutions for Tamil letters in the English alphabet.

Thats simply awesome. I strongly feel that you should compile a book of writings, with all your literary experiments in them, however trivial. They are all so genuine and have a meaning to them, and a sort of relevance.
agree with Rajesh..there is some quality in all ur prose or poetry I cannot define,given my literary abilities!!..it wud make quite a gud read..
thanks guys for the appreciation.. makes me feel like write more even though my research is going nowhere :-).. and phoenix, dont hv MS Word unfortunately but will try and get some tam font sometime - thanks for the info!
hey shyam, if you want to try an opensource alternative (and you probably already know this) try www.openoffice.org - version 2.0 has support for localized fonts. If even that is not possible, google for "baraha" and download the software. It is good for tamizh, kannada, sanskrit and other languages.
Lots of new posts on your blog, will read when I find some time.
Cheerio!
thanks rajesh but i work in opensource only :) - have openoffice but had some problems installing the tamil fonts package and configuring them.. anyways lets see how things work out
Nice da....
Read by CPing it in s-anand.net transliterator... it will teach proper typesetting also... try it out...
