genius gone

I heard one of my friends say that Sujatha is poor man's ASIMOV. May be that is true, but I dont think ASIMOV enjoyed as much success as sujatha did in all the genres that he attempted. For a span of 10 to 15 years of time he was the only super star in tamil commercial periodicals. One periodical published even his laundry list. I don%u2019t ASIMOV had that distinction.

Sujatha had immense success in writing short stories, novels, essays, Q&As, Radio Play, TV serials, Film script writing, Drama, Poetry, Religious Literature and I cant remember what else.

I dont think I will forget his reminiscences especially 'srirangathu Devathaigal'.

Sujatha as a writer, his loss will be felt by 'tamil koorum nalulagam' for a long long time to come.

There is no one anywhere near him.
