Wrote this based on an upanyAsam source. Referred to in Periya Thirumudi adaivu
and it is indeed friday. Guru parambAra also corroborates this.
I stand corrected.

Sri:
Whether alwar was born on tuesday is the question. But here is a shloka
which says Nammalwar was born on a Friday.
"rAdhE kalErvAsara Eva rAdhE mAsE vishAkhE mahanIya thArE ;
shukrasya vArE ajani vishatithyAM parAnkushO asow bhagavAn kuLIrE"
on 42nd (rAdhA) day of kaliyuga, in vaishAkha (rAdhA) masa, in the esteemed
vishAkhA star, on Friday, in karkATaka lagna (kuLIra) bhagavAn parAnkusha was
born.
nammalwar is said to have regretted not being born just one week before "oru
chev vai munnaal pirandilomE" which would have given rise to the thought that
Nammalwar was born on Friday.

THE TUESDAY PHENOMENON
Some say that 'tuesday' is auspicious as it is 'mangaLa vAram'. Howevers,
some others do not prefer as it is ruled by malefic mars-sevvAi.
For us, srevaishNavites, it is a day of rejoicing as it it this day SvAmi
Nam AzvAr desended into this mother earth.
The magnum opus tiru-vaimozhi and the relted vyakyanam-s followed by the
juicy AchArya Hrdhayam can all be traced to the source as this day tuesday.
Then, shall we promulgate
"For all purposes and intents, hereinafter, tuesday shall be the day of
rejoicing, a mark of clebration and open for all auspicious events"
Yes.Would be the logical answer.
Going a bit further into this, let us see what AzvAr felt on his birth. He
felt very bad that he had missed Sri KrshNA by a week's time. This gave him a
lasting misery. This coslty siip between the cup and the slip rendered him
frustrated.
'pallilEa pattuth theRithAR pOle' says Sri Nam-piLLai.
A week had elapsed since Sri KrhsNA decided to ascend to thannudaich
sOdhi. 'Oh! had i been here a few days back, I would have had His divine vision'
rued Sri Nam-AzvAr -the krhsNA thrshNA thathvam-the manifestation of love
for sri KrshNA.
In this light, tuesday though very good for us, for AzvAr , it rendered a
lasting misery. a lifelong feeling of miss.
Should we then celebrate of AzvAr's arrival or feel for Azvar's
dis-appointment?
