Writer Sujatha is no more. It's hard to believe that this genius will not be with us to provide anymore of his ever refreshing writings. I remember as a kid, how I used to go to state government library in Adyar and Besant nagar and search for hours to get his books (mind you, the libraries are huge and his books are very hard to find). His style of writing is unparalled and his depth of knowledge on things was amazing. Here's a sample:
ராகவாசாரி கணேஷிடம் "இந்த form-ஐ ரொப்பிடுங்கோ" என்றார் . கணேஷ் form-ஐ நிரப்பினான்.
His use of "மெலிதாக சிரித்தான்" for smile, was first of it's kind in tamil writing.
Reading the first few chapters of "நில்லுங்கள் ராஜாவே" was more intriguing than watching an actual thriller movie.
He has created a benchmark for writing and with his death there is going to be a void. I doubt if someone will ever be able to fill this void. My heart felt condolences to his family members.
