I’ve been invited by SRM University to conduct a course on new media technologies to a select group of 20 Tamil Journalists. These journalists are all from north Sri Lanka and most of them are from Jaffna and other LTTE controlled areas. They have been sponsored by a Denmark organization to attend a 6 months journalism course here in Tamil Nadu.
It’s been one of the most fascinating teaching experience for me. For the first time, I’m teaching in Tamil. I’m quite conversant in Tamil but just that I have never taught in the language. I had my apprehensions but the first day was a lot smoother than I had anticipated.
Listening and comprehending Sri Lankan Tamil is a challenge and I’m yet to fully grasp it. I had to listen very intuitively to understand what they are trying to say. I guess, in a couple of days’ time, I should get used to it. The only other time I have been exposed to the tamil is from Kamal’s movie, Thenali.

Hey Kiruba…
Do write about the interesting lines/sentences/phrases/differences you noticed in Sri Lankan tamil.
It would be fun to know your experiences
Hi Senthil, this blog entry is for informing world that he ‘has been’ invited by a different country to educate it’s journalist. So this is not to share it’s fun-filled/ exciting/ interesting moments with the world; just for self promoting himself.
Wow; so many jobless losers in this world who take time to criticize something they find awful. God save you people.
So Mr.Krishnan, what job you do?? PRO for Kiruba?
If people find this blog entry awful, they would have told so.
Have you read cbcnn.blogspot.com ?? Most of the Kiruba’s critics are like cbcnn for chindu. Being a critic, cbcnn doesn’t stop reading chindu; he/she wants that to be better and better.
As someone told in the comment, it doesn’t take much time to say “Kiruba you rock”.

Talk about teaching… There is another educator who travels the world teaching his theories… Edward De Bono.. and he is presently in India. Do read:
De Bono in India
Wat do you mean by :
”
I’m quite conversant in Tamil but just that I have never taught in the language. I had my apprehensions
”
You don’t deserve to be a teacher and that implies being a blogger as well wit apprehensions like that..
hi anon
COME ON.
u dont have guts to leave your name and you comment on somebody this strongly saying “you dont deserve…”
anon,
have u listned to kiruba.
he is sure good.
you are conversantIN TAMIL and u cant teach is your inadequacy how can u generalise that?
shreer jealous & cowardice.
GROW.
and sir, may i ask, what journalistic integrities and capabilities do you possess to lecture potential journalists?
Put it another way, can you tell me one non-stupid non-self-promotional entry in your beloved blog?
the only reason i visit your wonderful blog is to see a egomaniac self-proclaimed “journalist” “blogger” in action – who is a blogger? a dude with a computer in his mom’s basement and lots of time in his hand.
thank you,
anonymous coward who doesn’t wish to be prodded by your journalistic superiority .
As if supporting the LTTE was not enough, now India has to send Kiruba to Sri Lanka to rub salt in their wounds.Not that I care, Sri Lanka deserves Kiruba for knocking us out of the last cricket World Cup.
Kiruba,
Please disable anon comments(including mine, this time mafi though) from you blog, as why let others dirty your blog with useless comments, it also shows how useless Indian Bloggers can be indu, bindu two such , real useless piece of shits
REPLY TO :
Please disable anon comment…….
hey anon,
read all my comments and then call me a shit.
COWARD.
indu you are piece of shit end of the story
“also shows how useless Indian Bloggers can be”
Case in point: Kiruba Shankar
kiruba rocks for sure
for allowing sarcastic comments in his blog.
Hi Kiruba:
I enjoy reading your blog; and a big fan of your positive and success-oriented lifestyle.
I truly admire your commitment in allowing unmoderated comments.
There are people of smaller stature in this world, who have not achieved much, but feel unrestrained in criticism of others. This is irrespective of nationality.
There are many blogeers, who we probably mutually admire, have started to moderate posts. What are your views on this?
is indu kiruba’s pseudonym? or.. is indu hitting on tds kribs?
Forget it..This blog is not worth writing any comments…
Sheer Waste of time..Oops..I wasted my valuable 10 min..reading and writing..nonsense here..
“The only other time I have been exposed to the tamil is from Kamal’s movie, Thenali.”
Why are you born and brought up in london or what?? Did you wash your a**s in Thames River??
Don’t act as if you are an elite person, you are just a normal tamilian who would have been working in Lathe or some factories for Rs. 1000/- per month had the globalization has not reached India!!
OMG!
Why are people being so bitchy here with him??? What IS so elitist about saying the only time I’ve been exposed to Srilankan Tamil is from the movie Tenali???
There sure seem to be some crazy jealous guys around…
Hi Kiruba.. I’ve only heard about u from around. Was checking ur blog out for the first time and I’m quite shocked by the sort of nasty comments ppl post..
