for anyone who is not aware of tamil literature then this is the simple way of identifying him, He is the backbone of Maniratnam's fame ROJA.
Not just Roja, manny movies of Mani including Kannathil Muthamittal and of shankar's (Hindustani, Nayak). its Sujatha who was behind every success of theirs.
No one can forget his works about sangam poetry to tamil version of haiku (from japan) he made science simple for an ordinary tamilian. He made everyone to understand about computers, silicon chips through his writing in the early 1980s itself.
no one could make it so simple about the functions of brain(thalamai cheyalakam - means Head secretariat)though he is a non medico. i being a medico rate that as the best anatomy and physiology book about brain than anyother professional english anatomy physiology books.
so much can be said about his writing, (en eniya iyanthira - science fiction about laser leader and artificial intelligent dog (in 1980s, wow!!), AAH - medical fiction about schizophrenia and simple love stories, ganesh vasanth crime thrillers, columns in kumudam and vikatan, Kanaiyalin kadaisi pakkangal, everything that makes a common man to understand and also to create interest and learn without loosing the basic concept of entertainment, what he left in literature, i think nothing)
its great loss to tamil literature,to a common tamil man,to our filmworld,state and in a way to country (Electronic Voting Machine)
