I still cannot believe we would ever live to see a multi-faceted personality as Sujatha! Wow! He was a tech guy, can write anything from history to science fiction and excel in film dialogs and script! What a phenomenon! I still remember one of his best novels "kolayuthir kalam" which is an absolute delight for fiction readers. He had described "holograms" in that novel which is exactly the same concept used in Disneyland's mickey's show at the waterfront! All this is 1970s. What a costly miss! May his soul rest in peace.

There are lakhs and lakhs of his fans to his various categories of writings and I would like to see more of them in this thread to remember and pay tribute to the great writer we had.

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.
