Writer Sujatha
All the books of writer sujatha are available online now th' this site. Even though the site is getting ready ( Novels are yet to be loaded ), I really admire how this (young?) writer still has time to write dialogues for 2-3 movies parallely, write articles on leading tamil magazines, do research on azhwars and old tamil books like "Puranaaanuru", read about the latest happenings around 9 plantes from Pizza Uthapam to Nano Technology.
Probably he is one kind of Astaavadhaani who has the maximum capablity to do 10 jobs at the same time and complete it to the surest best level. like they call it in six sigma, 3.4 defective parts per million.
Who can forget his Patriotic dialogues in "Roja" or Naugthy one in "Boys" or Situational/Sentimental dialogues in "Kandukondaen Kandukondaen" or GarudaPuranam in "Anniyan" or Lokparitan in "Aayudha Ezhuthu". If you really wanna love his movie dialogues and wanted to know how good a story telling should be, Watch Writer Madhivaanaan alias Maddy in "Kannathil Muthamitaal".
During my 8th standard, the main motivation behind going th' this chap novel was his TV serial "En Iniya Iyandhira". I started going to libraries in madurai in search of Sujatha Novels. Got a change to read around 10 of his novels. I still preserve "Katradhum Paetradhum" as the biggest treasure or mini encyclopedia.
BTW, is our man scribbling dialogues for Maniratnam's "Guru" too ?

No doubt everything that comes from Sujatha's pen is of top quality. But if you want to read the best of Sujatha, find the novel "kagitha changiligal". When I first read this story, I was 18. Today I am 40. This story stayed with me all these years. Even today when I come to the famous last sentence of this story ("ellarum senthundu avarai konnutanga patti") tears swell in my eyes.
The story is just about 40 pages. But what Sujatha achieved in those 40 pages is something others could not in 4000 pages.
Any one have read "Aiyiram putthagam". It is about the burning of old tamil library in Srilanka by the Srilankan army (This is a true incident). A Srilankan tamil comes to Chennai and and tries to explain the tragedy to the politicians here. But the politicians ignore him and in public they show a face as if they are the protectors of tamil.
This is a short story just more than a page. But the kind of impact it has created on me, I dont think I can forget in my life.
