Writer Sujatha - Leave Your Memories
A really intelligent writer. I really loved his work in Mudhalvan and also some of his literary work.
May God give his family the strength to cope up with this loss.

LG,
thanks dude,
really a touching tribute thx on behalf of all the fly and well wishes.
The obsequcies are scheduled for Friday the 1st March.

மனிதனைப் பொறுத்தவரை உயிர் என்பது உடல் இயக்கமா ? அவன் நினைவுகளா ?........
உயிர் என்பது என்ன அன்று ஆதாரமாக சிந்திக்கும் பொழுது, நம் ஞாபகங்கள் தான் உயிர்...
btw that was a good tribute-tribute.
Kamal wrote that small piece of poetry on Ananthu.
I just changed it for Sujatha.
Sujatha's contributions were remarkable.
He was the one to start with for any novice tamil readers. He know to feed all type of audience.
We lost an enthusiast. Let his journey be peaceful.
May God give his family the strength. Loss for tamil literature.
I have read only some portion of Sujatha's writings. But his diversity, his style and pioneering efforts have left an indelible mark in my heart. Words aren't sufficient to describe him.
Waiting to hear Kamal's reaction...
All film buffs out here: get his Thirakkadhai Ezhudhuvadhu Eppadi. Simple and brilliant, as always!
Hats off, LG! You did what I thought you would.
I am an ardent reader of Sri.Sujatha(Rangarajan) since 1968. This void can never be filled. We are not going to see another versatile genius writer like this for a long long time.I pray Lord Arangan to give his family the strength to bear this irrepairable loss as well as for his millions of fans.
hmmmmmmm.....
ennaththa solla?
En iniya iyandhira, Srirangaththu Devadhaigal, Aen Edharkku Eppadi were are all gems from him. Am sure Sujatha would be a role-model for many current and future writers (tamil or otherwise). Avar pughazhal endrum nilaikkattum.
May S. Rangarajan soul rest in peace, but writer Sujatha will be there always with us through his great contribution to Tamil.
Every Tamil hearts salutes his soul.
May this great writer soul rest in peace.
இரங்கல் சொல்ல இடம் தேடிய எனக்கு வாய்ப்பு கொடுத்தமைக்கு நன்றி. சில இழப்புகளை மட்டும் ஏன் நமது மனது சுள்ளென்று உணர்கின்றது என்பதற்கு விளக்கம் சொல்ல இயலவில்லை. அப்பட்டியலில் இதுவும் ஒன்று.
It could be a Personal loss to
all those who atleast spend an hour a week to read tamil literature.He was such a prominent writer in Tamil literary world.Be a serious reader or a casual one, they must have across Sujatha and must be feeling the loss.
Not only that he was good at writing, he was able to identify potential writers and encourage them.
His genius and versatilty are incomparable.
Words fail me ! On seeing the ticker on Sun News yesterday night flashing that Sujatha is no more, I was disturbed. I always will consider him my greatest teacher. His works will be treasured for generations to come. I will always equate him with Isaac Asimov for his prolific output on all things under the sun.

More than a prolific writer, he was a prolific reader. The versality of his reading never ceased to amaze me, until today.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that some of us learnt to love Tamil writings and the language itself thanks to his efforts more than anything else.
We will sorely miss him.
Couldn't imagine he is no more.
Words fail me.
May his soul rest in peace.
My heart feels heavy ... i will miss his writings for sure.
RIP Sir.

Its tough to believe that he is actually no more. So many times he has made me laugh and think. I feel very sad.
Knowing him as someone who has done so much on earth, I'm sure he will do much more on heaven. Rest in Peace Sir.
இப்பிடி விட்டுட்டு போய்ட்டையே வாத்யாரே
It is difficult to imagine that Sujatha is no more.

How can we forget Vasanth's wooing and Ganesh's brillance?

How can we forget Thoondil/Mathyamar Kathaigal?
How can we forget his dialogues in Indian / Muthalvan / Kannethire Thondrinaal?

RIP Sujatha. Words fail to express the loss.
sujatha..sujatha....a genius..in this fastly changing world i really dont know wheather we will get a author like him..........
May God Bless him. God takes away good souls soon.
I jus can't believe this. Tell me this is a prank.
The passing of a truly great man; his life and his works must be celebrated for generations to come. RIP Sujatha.

Shocking.
I pray God for his soul to rest in peace.
அவர் கதைகளையெல்லாம் அலசி ஆராயும்போது வாய் ஓயாமல் பேசும் எனக்கு, இப்போது வார்த்தை வரவில்லை. அனிதா; இளம் மனைவி நாவலில் ஆரம்பித்து அவர் எழுத்தின் மீது வைத்த காதல், இனி எப்போதும் குறையப் போவதில்லை.
it is the great loss for the writers and the fans (like me)
Being a Tamilian frm Blore, I have never been able to read much Tamil, though I have always wanted to leanr Tamil to read his books. But have heard a lot abt the most prolific writers of our times in Tamil, its a great loss not just to the literary world but also to the filmdom. Wonder whom will Mani Ratnam, Shanker and Bharathiraja turn to now for their scripts.

I have been very disturbed to read this news. He is a legend. He is a wealth of knowledge. Take any subject, he will be able to give the answer. Likes to pass his knowledge to the next generation is a great achievement. It is very sad. very sad.......
Some things just come to a sudden halt... really!
It is just too tough to take this.
Sad day for the world of tamil literature and Cinema!

Shocking. Though I was aware of the fact that he was not doing well through Desikan's blog, this news came as a complete shocker to me. Words fail me when I try to express the kind of impact Sujatha has had on me. Rest in Peace Sujatha sir. We will miss you, forever.

As long as Tamil stories continue to be spun, you will not be forgotten.

Great loss!
May his soul rest in peace.
who will write book with our APJ???
really some vacuum got created...
We miss U Sir.
I continued my reading, only because of him. I learned a lot, or to put it in a better way, it taught me a lot. Will miss him.
With tears,
Gops.
Dear friends and fans of Thiru. Sujatha Sir,
It is a great shock to know that he has passed away, but his words and writing will never go please all read his books once again and i think this is my way of saluting,
DEAR SUJATHA SIR WE ALL MISS U
He is really intellegient writer I dont need to tell. We will miss his technical writing.
Sujatha was the one who introduced Haiku and Puthu Kavithai to me. In a dingy lending library at Kutchery Road, I discovered his slim volume on Introducing haiku to novices.
His writings never had any assumed brilliance. He just extended his brilliance into his writings as well.
May his soul rest in peace.
My Dear Sujatha,
Even when struck with grief of your demise, I still think that you are there to share my grief and somehow I think in the next week Kumudham or Anandha Vikatan..you will write " En Maranathirku Pin"....
You can never die man..cannot afford to!
Let me record this way as Engels did for Marx...
"Since 29th Feb 2008, Sujatha stopped thinking".....
It pains though...
unga ezhutha padichithanga nanellam vigjanam arinthen naan migavum athirchi adainthen
SUJATHA NEVER BORN NEVER DIED ONLY VISITED THIS MESMERISING TAMIL PLANET AND SIGNED OFF 27.02.2008.
WE HAVE TO TAKE HIS ENERGY AND DEDICATION TO THE NEXT GENERATION. ALL TAMIL SPEAKING AND READING FRIENDS LET US UNITE IN SALUTING THIS MAN WHO HAS SHOWN THE LIFE FOR MANY OF US IN A DIFFERENT ANGLE.

Thanks Mr Sujatha
A great personality...may his soul rest in peace...
He made me feel proud about Tamil and Trichy...
A great writer. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.
Sujatha, along with Kalki, was one of the primary reasons I got interested in reading Tamil works (fiction and otherwise). It is a big loss to the writing fraternity. Heartfelt condolences to his family.
Sujatha was the primary reason why I started reading Tamil. His demise leaves a void which will never be filled.
RIP Sujatha a.k.a Rangarajan.
He may not be with us in this world physically but his works and the light he passed to this generation and future will be there forever !!
Truely, no words to explain the loss. May God give enough strength to his families and his fans !!
என்னவென்று சொல்வது? மிகப்பெரும் இழப்பு. தமிழில் இவரது இடத்தைப் பூர்த்தி செய்வதற்கு இனிமேல் ஒருவர் பிறந்துதான் வரவேண்டும். இளைய தலைமுறையை தமிழ் இலக்கியத்தின் பால் ஈர்த்தவர். இவரது இடம் இனிமேல் வெற்றிடம்தான்.
மார்க் ட்வைன் சொன்னது போல "DEATH,THE ONLY IMMORTAL.." அது யாரிடமும் பாரபட்சம் பார்ப்பதில்லை.இன்று அது தமிழின் மாபெரும் எழுத்தாளனையும் தன்னோடு அள்ளிக்கொண்டது.

Will never forget "En Iniya Iyandhira" and "Meendum Jino". The only sc fi writer in Thamizh is dead. It is a big loss and I am totally shocked by this loss to Thamizh literary world. I dont know if he believes in reincarnations, but for once I feel he should be born again as himself and write more and more for the sake of his countless fans who must be wondering why the sky hasn't fallen yet.
He made us proud to be Tamils, and proud to be watching Tamil movies on par and better than other languages. He is a great citizen of India and an icon for all Tamils. His life shall be remembered in his stories, poems and literature and his science columns that many readers would remember him with. God Bless.
i was very much shocked to hear the news and feltas if some one of my family member has passed. there will be no replacement. he is one of those person whom i wish death should not come. he is an allrounder. may his soul rest in peace.
May his soul rest in peace
Here was an unique person who wrote on many things. I wonder whether there would be any other person of his age with as much knowledge and information as he has on IT,electronics & communication Physics, bio science etc. He kept updating his knowledge constantly. Above that,he had the skill to write that in a simple language even for a layman to understand. He is simply great. Sujatha sir, we will miss you.
It is a great loss to the Tamils across the world...avar iruntha idathai yaravathu nirappa vendukiren!
talented Short story writer.Had great and encyclopediac source.
What a significant loss! I am sad.
He introduced computers to me in his ‘Silicon sillu puratchi’ [a silicon revolution] 20+ years ago. He knew how to convey binary and xor gates to even a 10 year old. Towards the end, he was instrumental in getting tamil i18n in linux. He was writing about XML / RPC and such even as late as this year.
Both me and my mom are fans of his writing. It was one of the few things we both could discuss without a generation gap. He knew how to appeal to her as well as me as well as to Gen X-ers.
I am truly going to miss his writings. Truly.
A Great writer; Intellectual; Agnostic. He is no more now. If there is God, he will be received by him. He will be remembered as long as Tamil(s) lives.
both my husband and myself were really shocked on hearing the news. we r finding it extremely difficult to acccept the fact/or to even come to terms with the fact that he is no more . a versatile writer, voracious reader, a simple man, a person who reached the readers who were even
40 -50 yrs younger to him..... many more attributes/adjectives can be on added to this list . he may not be with us any more but through his literary work he will always be cherished . our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.may his soul rest in peace.
lavanya sundaram.
What a loss! I am sad.
He introduced Computer,sicence fiction stories in Tamil Stories,he is the first writer to do so,both me,my mom,sister were great fans. His writings were such that you cannot move from that place after reading the small portion of the book,because his writings will make u to complete the full story and then only we can do any work. He is a gem of Tamil Nadu. His writings were inspired my many Youths,even at the age of 72 his writings were like by many Youths.
We will definitely miss a greate writer.... May his soul rest in peace..
LG,
Thought must share this with you
have a couple more will one day sit and sort out my gmail sure has a lot of gyan of him to me on blogging,relegion,capitalpunishment etc etc.
Felt you must read this one , in fact a few mails similar to this on you.

It was when I was 12 or 13, I started reading him, thanks to my friend’s sister who meticulously had clipped and preserved his "JK", "Vaanamenum Veethiyile" and "Sorkatheevu" - serial stories from "Dhinamani Kathir"(then a paid, big sized weekly magazine, not a free weekly supplement). I was inspired right away and would use every opportunity to read his articles without fail thereafter.
In my opinion he did not just write stories, but brought us the real feeling of being there - his ability to bring visuals, voices, the smell of the surroundings whether it be a story happening in a village, a city or an auto workshop and their vernaculars or the portrayal of different personalities or articles about his move to Madras or his child hood cricket matches in Srirangam (very comical) or about his weekly visits to Salem to see his ailing dad or religious articles with a different perspective in “Gnaboomi”..... ., it was beyond any comparison and I am yet to read something like that again.
For those of us who started reading him in the mid 70s and continued to read him during the 80s, his impact was very large in us - we were mentally changed, inspired fully by his intelligence and smartness that he portrayed through his characters, forgetting our selves, living, talking and walking like his characters (my fav. one in "Kanavu (th) Tholirchalai - the hero - a cinema hero to his preaching manager-"Don't talk like Desai" - referring to the Morrarji Desai days).
As any true pioneer, he shared and taught aspiring young writers the secrets and techniques of good writing through many of his articles.
There are some things that hurt us more for reasons beyond the obvious, that we do not know and his passing is one for me. It really hurts - I mean REALLY - to see him go, but let us cherish his contribution to the Tamil readers.
I wish to express my deepest condolence to his family and thank them for the support they extended to him, that allowed him to write.
Man, Sujatha, Rangarajan, Iyengar (as he called himself defending to criticisms about JK) – you did your job very well and you will be missed a lot, by many.
neenkal oru sahaptham //oru mgr //oru sivaji//oru sujatha
i am Shocked and speechleess... still unbeleivable .. a real loss for tamil litrature and film industry ..no one can replace his place .. we have lost our living encyclopedia . my heart condolences for all his fans around the world and his family ....... Now its our responsibility to take his writing to the upcoming generations... we miss u sujatha sir....
Sujatha and Bala Murali were my two eyes. I belong to Srirangam. To think that Sujatha is no more I feel that I have lost the living part of my life. I have the habit of quoting his lines and I am sure those will be coated with sadness ever.I really pray for the real Sujatha - his wife now.
No words to express our sorrow to a brilliant person .
We will miss you
Got to know abt Sujatha Sir's demise
from a friend..I refused to accept it..
checked the websites helplessly praying that
that it should not be true..but....
He made a whole generaion of people
to read Tamil.Something about Sujatha
will come during the discussions wiht my friends..Such is the way he occupied our lives..
It is hard to believe that there will be no Katrathum Paetrathum, no more
Ganesh-vasanth novels.....
A great loss to Tamil people and Tamil..
Good bye Sujatha Sir....

Sujatha was like a family member to us. If there are people who have contributed to our immense learning process, Sujatha is surely prime among them.
We feel that he is still amongst us through his immortal writing.
With Deep Condolense

Krish Prasanth
All this and more.
no more words to describe this misery.
Many a people will be jack of all trades, and king of one, but to me, Mr.Sujatha stands out because king of many (Engineering, Technology, Fiction, Literature, Story Writer etc etc) which is purely divine, very rare to witness such a great person. Its a great loss to Tamil Community and India.
We are all very fortunate to witness such a person.
Though everyone knows about his tremendous, iam just penning a few lines....
He's the pioneer for designing and producing Electronic Voting Machine thats in practise during voting at his tenure as General Manager at BEL.
Being a Electronics and Communication Graduate from MIT, Madras in 70's, he's highly tech savvy , demostrated strong knowledge of engineering and technology (very visible in his stories) and elucidates clearly in his writing even that
can be understanble by common man.
His writings created revolution in short stories arena and recieved strong accolades from all age groups and attracted youth.
he has touched upon science fiction, fiction, novels, family drama,wit and humour. His stories are really learnings and wealth of knowledge, experience and information.
He's been story wwriter in Tamil Cinema right from 80's up to the latest films like Roja, Indian, kannathil muthamittal, anniyan, boys, sivaji etc.
His demise is great loss to India and especially to Tamil Nadu and Tamils. He's been great inspiration to younger generations.
My deep condolences to his beloved family , may his soul rest in peace.
Mr.Sujatha is no more, but his writings, his contributions will be ever etched in memory lane. On going by his own quote in one of the story
ullam thuranthavum (excellent novel), life is nothing but soul, and body is just a shirt, his soul always remains with us through his dialogues and writings.
Regards

சுஜாதா மறைந்ததை என்னால் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள முடியவில்லை...அவர் இன்னும் வாழ்ந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறார் அவரின் புத்தகங்களின் வாயிலாக...எனது குழந்தைகள் புத்தகம் வாசிக்க பழகும் போது அவரின் புத்தகங்களை சிபாரிசு செய்து அடுத்தாடுத்த தலைமுறைக்கும் அவரை அறிமுகம் செய்வேன்

சுஜாதாவின் சுகத்தமிழில் உலகம் கற்றுக் கொண்ட பலரில் நான் ஒருவன்.
சுஜாதாவின் மறைவு, கனவு போல இருக்கிறது. "கற்றதும் பெற்றதும்" இனி வராது என்பது அறிவுக்குத் தெரிந்தாலும், "செத்தபின் சில சிந்தனைகள்" என்று குமுதத்திலோ அல்லது ஆனந்த விகடனிலோ எழுதுவாரோ என்றும் மனசுக்கு தோன்றுகிறது.
தமிழ்க் கவிதை உலகில் பாரதிதாசன் பரம்பரை என்று ஒரு கூட்டம் இருந்த மாதிரி, சுஜாதா பரம்பரை என்ற ஒன்றும் இருக்கிறது. நல்ல எழுத்தாளரை இனி அதில் தேடிப் பிடிக்கவேண்டும்.

i really miss you sir
பல குப்பை எழுத்துக்களை உண்டு உண்டு சலித்து களைத்திருக்கும் அக்னி தேவன் ,சில நிமிடங்களுக்கு முன்பு தனக்கு படைக்கப்பட்டதை உண்டு வியந்து மகிழ்ந்திருப்பான்.பின் என்ன சுஜாதா போன்றவர்கள் கிடைப்பது அவ்வளவு எளிதா என்ன?
நன்றி தலைவா! ஐம்பது ஆண்டுகள் எங்களை மகிழ்வித்து,கற்பித்ததற்கு!
எங்கள் இதய அஞ்சலி!
Sujatha, Travel well...
Do we missed since we had oppurtunity to clone him ?
Still it is very difficult to digest that our beloved writer Sujatha is no more. I thought of meeting him atleast once in my life time, which never happened. He has touched millions of hearts through his writings. I hv been reading his books for more than 20 years. It is very very difficult to believe that we won't be seeing his writings anymore. I hv tears in my eyes when I write these. Don't know what and all he wanted to write and share with others. A true genius. Thanks a lot sir for the memories.
Sujatha,Writer for all media.I still couldn't believe he has gone.Life sometimes is so cruel.
Hard to believe that he is no more.Every indian must thank him,since he was the core for the Electronic Voting MAchine Project,which revolutionised the electoral system in india.
As a Writer,he made common peoples to taste the sweetness of tamil.
Let his soul rest in Peace
Everybody who had the habit of reading will surely miss Sujatha

சுஜாதா மறைந்து விட்டார் என்பதை இன்னும் நம்பமுடியவில்லை. என்ன ஒரு அறிவாற்றல்! என்ன எழுத்துத்திறன்! Truly a Genius. A very versatile writer. சங்க இலக்கியம் முதல் சைபர் (cyber ) இலக்கியம் வரை கரை கண்டவர். அவரது வாரம் ஒரு பாசுரம் கல்கியில் நான் விரும்பிப் படித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தேன். சமீப காலத்தில் அவர்து எழுத்துக்களில் மரணத்தைப் பற்றிய reference தென்பட்டது.

Somehow my mind is not accepting that he is no more and it is gratifying to see that I am not alone. from "mama vijayam" to sci-ficition, what a range?
when I grew up every teenager I knew in my neighbour hood was a sujatha fan and of couse their parents and grandparents, such is his appeal!
whenever we friends meet , we always feel that it is sujatha who instilled in us a sense of exploration, humour, logic and an attitude to love the life around you. We will always be indebt to sujatha.
Hopefully we will still meet the man through his books.

He is no more with us but his thaughts and articles will be alive millinum of years to come. Last Sunday I went to Srirangam, I remembered him and see in and around there. This sunday he is no more with us. Each and every tamil peoples cannot tollerate or compensat his disappear from the earth. We must introduce him to our sons, daughters and siblings in the future.

Dear friends
Sri Rangarajan (BEL periappa to me.. we named him thus for he used to work at Bharat Electronics Limited) was a close uncle of mine and I would have thought this is only a huge personal loss but seeing the outpouring of grief here, I realize that he has touched the lives of more people than i could have ever imagined.
Knowing him from close quarters, i was touched by his humility and his eagerness to learn despite his genius.
Marc Anthony's tribute to Brutus befits Sri Rangarajan - "His life was gentle, and the elements
So mix'd in him that Nature might stand up and say to all the world 'This was a man!'
May his soul rest in peace
I feel it's my duty to pay homage to the great thinker and writer of this computer era. His demise is a great loss not just for me or Tamil readers; it is a loss for Tamil and the literature community as a whole...
Sujatha... like he inspired a lot of young minds, captivated me by his style and use of the language. He triggered in me not only the evolutionary thinking,also an analytical mind to ask questions.
His work has been a tribute to Mother Tamil and his demise is a loss for every single home and to the literary world.
I still remember the day I met him in a 'face to face' program. He was so energetic and enthusiastic to answer questions. He was just out of a heart surgery. But ready to answer the youngters!!!
I feel like I have lost a part of myself. My condolences for the bereaved family.
Heartfelt condolences to Sujatha Rangarajan and family. May the Lord give strength in their hours of grief to shoulder the irreperable loss
So for i am not digesting this incident!...
Any way in the life race god is always the winner.
I was telling a Telugu friend about the death of my most cherished writer in Tamil and told him how his writings on Science and technology was the reason for many Tamil youth getting inspired to become computer engineers.
His question was: are those stories available in English?
I remember a couple of outstanding contributions:
1.His Kumudam essay: "Miss Thamizh thaayae namaskaram" that introduced pudukkavidhai to mainstream tamil magazine.
2. His early 1980 Bommai(?) article on how computer is used in modern movie making. It was so good, I presented a seminar in my engineering 3rd year just based on that article.
3. His short story "Computer-ae oru kadhai ezhuthu" written in the 60s.
4. An outstanding piece where he imagines a few key characters in his
real life that shaped him: what if all of them came together and talked to each other about him. Man, I have never read something like that!
5. 1982? Year of the Child: he wrote a
moving marabukkavithai in Kungumam:
(you can read this in the collection of essays - Miss Thamizhthayae Namaskaram)
It starts:
"Koottamaana hotel-kalil Saptavudan Plate-eduppai"
Jeyamohan observes Sujatha never let his emotion rule him and that most of his writing is literary because of its style.
Wrong, Sir. Read this poem. Read his
novel: Andru un arugil.
His emotion was very deep and almost
passionless. You can say he didnt have
'PERSONAL emotion' drive his writing.
He was very emotional, but not sentimental.
***
Two initiatives helped us a lot:
Kumari padippagam reprinted several of his novels and essays as cheap books, that help spread his writing beyond the 60s and 70s that it was originally written. We should thank Kumari padippagam veera raghavan for that.
Second, I was very happy to see
writersujatha.com providing most of his writing as ebooks. Please buy his
essays and short stories and read them.
Ravi Annaswamy
When one develops the manappakkuvam (called Sthithaprajna in ancient lore) where one is not driven by personal passion, then his or her
memory becomes clear and all-grasping and their judgement becomes unbiased.
Then one is able to see the same thing in several viewpoints simultaneously and only truth
'occurs' in his perceptions.
whatever they do, they start showing the grandness and vastness of detail as well as stretch.
I feel Sujatha is such an accomplished soul and one of the last remnants of that caliber. Another is Ilayaraja.
Someone asked Sujatha - 'Eppadi sir ungalukku ivvalavu jnanam?'
He replied: 'gnanam illeenga - gnapagam' implying that his 'intelligence' was primarily his
'memory'
But 'memory' itself is a gift of passionless state of mind.
Ravi
Great Writer. Presented the complex scientific concepts in simple language to ordinary reader. Very versatile starting from Science fiction to commentry on brahma sutram. It will be a long time for somebody to fill the vacant place left by him.
My eyes are sheeding tears and heart feels heavy. Let God give the strength for his family to withstand this personal loss.

Dear Sujatha
Your Siliconin Sillu Puratchi has showed the way for my career
Your Sirangathu Devathaigal has brought my nostalgic thoughts when ever I read
Your Katrathum Petrathum has taught social and scientific things for a novice person like me
Last not but least, You made me proud of I am a Tamilian
Thanks for all your work those kept me many of moments happy, pleasant and memorable
But this moment, I really feel heartbreaking

As a tribute, I have added to (the new) TamilScans blog the first chapter of Nylon Kayiru from Original Kumudam issue dated 15-8-1968.

Hi,
Sujatha..Very first time in my life I cried by just reading the news. His writings made me and my thought process. He had an enormous impact on me from school days and the amount of knowledge he carried in science, technology and society ...no one can even dream of reaching him. I had a rare opportunity to meet him at his residence in 1995. I will remember the meeting for ever and as writer and thought leader, he is the greatest of all time in TN. I regret not being in India at this greiving time.
I salute you, Sir.
thanks

I am still in the mode of denial. NO this can't happen....
I am not able to recollect when I started reading Sujatha. As a young man "Nirvaana nagaram " was the one I still remember. His descrption of the frustration of an unemploted youth-his ability to paint vivid picutures her versatality, Sujatha sir why why why did you leave us...
i was inspired by ganesh vasanth, sri rangathu devathaigal and list extraordinary knowledge about anything and his scripts, and dialogues in films.
he should have lived long.
his demise makes many sad.

We miss a great genius. His pen spoke more than his mouth. Now a huge vacuum has created.
We pray for his soul.
Sundar.
Great Shock to all.
World would not have seen such a versatile writer. His place definitely cannot be replaced. I strongly believe his soul had reached his ishtta Deivam 'SRIRANGANATHAN'. Pray My Lord SRIRANGANATHAN to give him back (MARU JENMAM) for the rest of the world.

He is one of my role model. Adorable person. In fact if I am in this good position today it is because of reading his books. He kindled my thoughts on Computer when he wrote a book on "Silicon Sillu Puratchi". What a writer? He can cover anything in the world so simply and I am not sure how many peoples thoughts are kindled in right way like mine, reading his thoughts in writings. I miss my true guide in my life. No words.
The Entire Reading & Writing World has lost an Intellectual writer, a great personality and a great human being. He has touched the hearts of many and will always stay in the hearts of many. May God give the bereaved family Enough Strength & Courage to bear with the huge loss.
There is absolutely no comparison for Sujatha.
In the seventies, when TV was a big thing for the whole India, Sujatha wrote about computers and robots.
He was the first ever science fiction writer in not only Tamil but also in the whole country.
No one in the Telugu, Hindi or Bengali or Marathi literature/film world is every comparable to Sujatha.
He is a God sent person for our state.
He is probably the only one person in the world, having the combination properties of being a
-Scientist
-Writer and
-Movie scripter.
Let there be another Sujatha coming very soon.

Sujatha had written on his turning 71 in vikatan and that brought lots of responses. On Lazygeek's blog he had replied this way:
-------
dear friend
Rarely I answer blog references One of the greatest pleasures in wriring is perceptive readers like you are reading every line and its echo is loud and clear
It was a general essay I wrote on turning seventy It had a global response The purpose is not to scare people about growing old and dying but to inspire a sense of urgency in whatever one wants to pursue in life and in its wake revise and simplify the targets
Sujatha
Posted by: Sujatha | May 10, 2005 12:48 PM
--------
The last line gives clue to his methods and his reason for success.
Look at the keywords:
inspire a sense of urgency in whatever one wants to pursue in life and in its wake revise and simplify the targets
Only this kind of philosophy can explain how someone can accomplish so much in a life.
And interestingly the same words describe the reason for his writing success:
Keeping the sense of urgency in mind, revise and simplify.

Thank you Boss!

I grow up with Sujatha's writings. He was like a person well known to me, even though I never met him. Personaly I learnt a lot from his writings. When I learnt his death, I felt like I lost something. I never felt like this before...
He is a great writer. Tamil culture will remember him thousands of years.
Rangarajan is dead.Long live Sujatha

சுஜாதாவை அதிகம் படித்துள்ளேன். போலி உணர்ச்சிக் குவியல்கள் பின்னிப் பிணைந்து, மனதைக் கனக்க வைக்கும் அல்லது தலைவலியை ஏற்படுத்தும் நம்மூர் எழுத்தாளர்களின் கதைகளின் நடுவில் சுஜாதாவின் ஒவ்வொரு கதையும் சுவையாக அமைந்து மனதை இலேசாக்கும்.
இவரது கதைகள் உணர்ச்சிகளாக நகராது; காட்சிகளாக விரியும். போலி உணர்ச்சிகளை மூட்டை கட்டி வைத்து விட்டு, எதார்த்தமாக தமிழர்கள் எழுதப் பழக வேண்டும் என்பது என் ஆவல். அதுதான் மூத்தவர் சுஜாதாவுக்கு நாம் கொடுக்கும் மரியாதை.
சுஜாதா மீண்டும் பிறந்து வருவார் - மறுபிறவி அல்ல - நிகழ்தகவு கணிதக் கோட்பாட்டின் படி - என்ற நம்பிக்கை எனக்கு உண்டு. நானும் அந்த நேரத்தில் பிறந்திருப்பேன். அது எதிர்காலமாக இராது; இதே காலமாகத்தான் இருக்கும்.
சுஜாதா இறந்து போன சேதி நமக்கு தெரிகிறது. அவருக்கு தெரியுமா? தான் இறந்து போனோம் என்பதை அவரால் உணர முடியுமா?
dear sir,
i was met you once in chennaibook fair u gave a autograph to me nice moment i remember at this time i hav no words good bye if there is any chance to meet again in somewhere sometime somebirth i wish i shoud know ur sujatha and i am baskar that all. ungal athma santhi adayattum
We had lost a visionary, prolific, versatile writer we had in Tamil literature. It is a great loss to tamilians all over the world and an irreplaceable loss for the generations to come.
Explanation of complex matters/subjects into simple & easily understandable ways to a layman was his unique ability. Sujatha did a commendable job in taking internet and complex scientific matters into the rural/ interior parts of Tamil Nadu. He was the one who touched upon the internet net revolution – way back in early eighties. He was the one who impressed me to read the Tamil novels & literature.
I am feeling very sad; I am in loss of words to express my feelings. I am great fan of Sujatha. May his soul rest in peace and I pray the almighty to give his family the strength & courage to overcome this irreparable loss.
Regards

great man, man of simplicity, intellectual, but humble. always replies to ur email. true patriotic and one the greatest humanbeing. we should be ashamed that he was not given very big indian award such as padmavibushan for designing electronic voting machine. if he wouldhavebeen born in uk or US he would have been awarded great honour. at lease now indin govt should honour him. i feel i have lost one member in my family. may his soul rest in peace. his writings will stay for ever.

Actually Sujatha's writings made me a regular reader of tamil literature during my school/collage days (in 80s). Now also I never missed his "varam oru pasuram" in Kalki. In my college days when other boys used to discuss english fiction our group used to enjoy sujatha's stories.
இதையும் ஒரு முறை...
Febraury 28 காலை 7:30க்கு சன் டிவியைப் போடும் வரை அவர் உயிரோடுதான் இருந்தார், என் மற்றும் பலரின் ஆதர்ஸ எழுத்தாளர்களில் ஒருவரான சுஜாதா.
சென்ற மாதம் கூட ஈஸ்வரி லெண்டிங் லைப்ரரியில் ஹரிஹரன் எடுத்துக் கொடுத்த "ஸ்ரீ ரங்கத்துக் கதைகள்," கச்சேரிகள் நவீன இலக்கியங்கள் கவிதைகள், இடையறாத காமெடிக் காட்சிகள், sms கள் orkut களுக்கிடையில் முற்றத்திலும் மேஜையோரத்திலும் படுக்கையிலும் வசீகரித்துக்கொண்டுதான்
இருந்தது.
ஆசிரியர் கூற்றையும் பாத்திரத்தின் வெளிப்பாட்டையும் தாண்டி அடைப்புக் குறிக்
ஆசிரியர் கூற்றையும் பாத்திரத்தின் வெளிப்பாட்டையும் தாண்டி அடைப்புக் குறிக்குள் வாசகனோடு பேசினார். சுபமங்களாவில் "இட்லித்து விட்டு சாம்பாரித்து விட்டு ஆஃபீசினான்...." என்று எழுதலாமா என்ற கேள்விக்கு மழுப்பாமல் தவறு தான் என்று பதிலளித்தார்.
"என்னால் மிகுந்த தாக்கத்தோடு வறுமையைச் சொல்ல முடியாது அரை மணி நேரத்திற்கு மேல் பசியோடிருந்ததைல்லை..." என்றார்.
Intellectual Arrogance -டன் "என் வீட்டு சலவைக் கணக்கைக் கூடச்
சிலர் வெளியிடத் தயாராயிருக்கிறார்கள் " என்று கூறியதாய் சர்ச்சையும் உண்டு.
கணையாழியின் கடைசிப் பக்கங்களுக்கும் ஏன் - எதற்கு - எப்படிக்கும் கணேஷ் வஸந்துக்கும் ஒரு சம நிலை வகுக்க முடிந்தது அவரால். கணேஷின் விறுவிறுப்பான ஓட்டத்திற்கு நடுவில் ஒன்றுமே நடக்காத அசுவாரஸ்ய நாட்களயும் கூறும் யதார்த்தம் கொண்டிருந்தார்.
ஓளிர்ந்த அவரது உத்திகள் அவருக்குப் பின் வந்த பலரிடம்
ஒளிந்திருந்தன.
‘கதை முடிந்த பின்னும் சில வரிகள் எழுதுகிறார்கள்’ என்ற
அவருடைய விமர்சன வரிகளின் மெல்லிய இடித்துரைப்பு எழுத்திற்கு
மட்டுமன்று....
ப்ரசவத்திற்குப் போயிருக்கும் மனைவியின் மேல் முயங்கிய
நினைவுகளுடன் தீராக்காதல் கொள்ளுதல் போல... வகுப்பறை மழலையின் வீட்டு ஞாபகம் போல....
தொடர்களின் பிரிவுகளும் சிறுகதைச் சந்திப்புகளும் ஊடகங்கள் வழியே அவரே பெயரிட்டதைப் போல ஜயவிஜயராஜஸூர்யாக்களின் ஆதிக்கத்திற்கு மத்தியில் திரைப்படமாகவேனும்... நினைவில் ஊர்ந்துகொண்டுதானிருப்பார்.
மனம் நிறைத்தவர்களின் மறைவு இழப்பல்ல ; பிரிவு மட்டுமே.
ஈரோடு நாகராஜன்.
when reading the condolences left by millions of his fans, i think his great achievement is having touched many lives. Rewards and awards dont matter. he has touched all our lives... sujatha was synonymous with chennai and tamil... by seeing the anjalis and condolences i come to know that in addition to being a great writer he was a great human being as well. to see his enthusiasm in encouraging budding writers, makes me think that this is what all indians have to follow without feeling any jealousy or envy towards our peers. I think he was born to write, to be a good husband and a father and nothing else. He has completed his job, but have left all of us crying for more of his writing. I, like everyone else, feel like i have lost a friend, though i have never heard his voice nor seen him either on tv or in person. That is the greatness of this man. He will always touch our lives in the voice of Rishi in Roja, Pugalendi in Mudalvan and through characters os Srirangathu thevaithagal. Though my mother and aunt used to tell me they see Sujatha at the beach doing his morning walks, i never took the time to get a glimpse of him. May he rest in peace and god give strength to his family members to overcome this loss.
Who said Sujatha is no more?
He lives in my book shelf as a reference..
He has always been a guide, philosoper, and he will be to my generations...
I never believed Ekalaivans could exist in real life..
Now I believe...
I am sure he would be a Drona for lot of Ekalaivans..
Only differnce he won't ask the thumb like Drona , He will ask Ekalaivas to write better than him..
As far as I am concerned I talk to him through his books..
I feel him while reading his books..
So he is always with me whereever I go..
In my mind, PC, Book shelf, Pen Drive, ipod everywhere...
Sujatha I Love you so much...
You live till Tamil lives..
So you live for ever in our heart,mind, soul.
Love
I grew up reading his works, I framed my line of thinking reading the various books he had suggested as good reading, a lot of questions to my life was answered by his rational, the only tribute to him would be to remain a good reader and remember never to loose the sense of humor and remain alert and living till the end..

What can I say? His writings changed me alot. I learn computer thro his "Silicon sillupuratchi" in 80s. I missed my guide.
Looking at all the wonderful, spontaneous responses helps us bear the unexpected loss a little better.
Cant say thanks enough.

Please do email me when you get a chance.

'ethayum oru murai' was a great story and death as well has to be tried once by all of us! but it is a pity it has to come this soon for him.
his contribution was immense and he will be missed greatly
RIP 'Sujatha'
With profound sadness we salute the great tamil writer Sujatha for all his work. He indeed made an history. He will live in our hearts till the end of this universe. I will make sure that my son reads all of his workings and also will try and locate all his writings for my personal library.

I think he got so many medical problems,due to the Cigars,if he
hadn't smoked for many years then he would have liven for so many years.Many Bad politicians are liveing at the age of 80 and 90 years but God takes away Good People at the early years.sujatha didn't smoke from 1986,due to the Doctor consultation(Angiogram,Bypass).,why sir,did u smoke???????????????? (The first line can be fitted at the Start an End)
Thanks for all the effort that made this website possible. I was trying to find a site where I can pay homage to the great person.
He is my Drona who never asked for the thumb of this Eagalaiva.
Thank you sir.
