What Enadhu Vallamaiyaalargal Covers
Enadhu Vallamaiyaalargal gathers the essays Themozhi wrote for Vallamai magazine between March 2014 and March 2016, when she served on the magazine’s editorial team. Every week, Vallamai picked one person whose achievement had caught people’s attention that week, introduced them to readers, praised their talent, and named them that week’s Vallamaiyaalar. Themozhi took on the work of finding these achievers, writing about them, and announcing them, and in doing so she came to know about a hundred talented achievers.
The essays in the book are arranged in the same order in which they first appeared in the magazine, so the collection reads like a weekly record of achievement over two years. The Vallamaiyaalar award itself began in 2012. Writer Thivakar was the first to take responsibility for choosing the awardees and announced the first hundred; Themozhi then took up the task for the next hundred, with the support of Vallamai’s founder Annakannan, managing editor Pavala Sankari, and Megala Ramamoorthy, who helped in the weekly discussions. Science writer and poet Jayabharathan encouraged Themozhi to collect the essays into a book.
Readers who enjoy Tamil non-fiction will find this a gentle, encouraging read, and those exploring free Tamil novels Chennai alongside Tamil essays will find it a good companion volume. You can discover more such reading on Novels Tamil.
The Achievers Featured in Enadhu Vallamaiyaalargal
There are no fictional characters in this book, because it is a collection of profiles of real people. The achievers come from many different fields, and each essay focuses on one person’s achievement. Only two of the profiled achievers are named in the sources this page is based on:
- Dr V. S. Rajam — the first achiever in Themozhi’s series of essays.
- Roopadevi — an international football referee, and the last achiever in the series.
Themozhi notes with personal happiness that her series begins with a woman and ends with a woman. The full list of the achievers profiled is inside the book itself, and no other names are added here because they were not verified in the sources used for this page.

That hope is the heart of the book — achievement is worth noticing, praising, and passing on.
