As one who had the opportunity of seeing sujatha at close quarters in my formative years, it is a deep shock to me, somehow the feeling of him being immortal was stuck in my mind. More than a writer, a development engineer, he was a great human being. I happened to meet him when he was a deputy general manager in BEL, his simplicity, his honest to earth answers irrespective of the fact that he was talking to a trainee who was not even academically qualified in his field had left a deep mark on me. The country has lost one of its noblest sons today.
