Before his recent surgecy, I had a very very small meeting with him, regarding the the complicity of EVM. But the talk went to his novels. So impressive was his reply to my one question about the response to his novels:
The answer was about Barnard Shaw. When Bernard Shaw wanted to know the response about his novel, he sent a post card to his publishers.
The card had only one word like this : "?" Publisher replied like this : "!! "
A smile from "Sujatha" was enough to fill thousand words.
