It's farewell time -- Writer Sujatha expired!

Writer Sujatha - An Aeronautical engineer who graduated at a time when Engineering was considered an honor in India gained extensive knowledge in computers, Tamizh literature, mechanics, biology, history and a wide range of fields that made him intellectually unique. His writings were filled with versatility, packed with style and loaded with a casual touch that gave him millions of fans and some of them even named their children after the characters in his works. He also wrote dialogs for a lot of Tamizh movies in various genre adapting to the story line so beautifully that one wouldn't believe it is the same dialog writer who penned both of them.

The death of the genius is a real loss to the Tamizh society and I could hardly imagine anyone else taking up his position in the near future. Some people are forgotten even when they live. Some are remembered even after their death. Sujatha is surely a man in the second category and I'm sure his works would stay evergreen proclaiming his contribution to the modern Tamizh literature.

May his soul rest in peace!
