a multifaceted personality,(writer,novelist,scientist...) , i had an opprutinity to meet him on Pongal day (15.01.2008) at book fair i got his autograph on two of his books - fortunatley so as it is hardly 40-45 days since then he has left this world.Definitely it is a irreparable loss. When i met him asked "you are active in writing screenplay, writing in tamil weeklies at this age(73yrs) where do you get the drive or what drives you to perform at this age?" He said "Actually there is no drive i have stopped almost all of my activities". Now i understand he meant what he said. Hearty condolences to his family,relatives& friends Bhaskar R
