I remember reading "kolai Udhir.." WOW. A fantastic writer who wrote from Alwharz to abdul kalaam. He was a national treasure and I will definitely miss him for his wit, dialogues (meghathai thurathiyavan - novel) and numerous movies including indian, anniyan, shivaji etc., His knowledge in each of the field he was writing about was quite amazing. His background in engineering certainly helped. His skills and style were responsible for a whole new generation of great tamil story tellers & writers. He wrote several columns to encourage science knowledge among the common men is well-documented. Very few would know that he has written a book on cooking vegetarian recipes. May his soul rest in peace.
