TRIBUTE TO SUJATHA…
March 11, 2008
The demise of ‘Sujatha’ (The great writer) was indeed a shocking news for a literary fan like me. Though this tribute comes a bit late, it is full of gratitude for his contribution towards literature and Cinema. Even while he was at Apollo, he had dictated the PASURAM to be published in KALKI. His thoughts reflected his personality… he was truly a visionary. In 1980 s itself, he had thought and wrote about Technological revolution. His novels, articles etc were and are a feast to any reader.
Fact known about ‘Sujatha’ : A great writer
Fact unknown about him : When he was working as an Engineer, he lead the team which developed the machine for vote counting. Only because of this machine, the burden of Vote counting has been reduced and the accuracy is also great.
Though you have departed from this world, your writings will remain eternally.

The news about the death of Sujatha was shocking to me.
I cannot forget the way he handled the character of Ambi in Anniyan. Ambi’s character knows only right and wrong. He cannot identify or tolerate the grey areas.
Like the computer understands only True or False.
Especially the scene where Ambi attempts suicide but turns away saying that commiting suicide is against the law.
It reminds of the law of the robotics where it states that it is unlawful for a robot to kill itself (as mentioned by Mr. Sujatha in one of his novels).
Only he could have penned the dialogues for the Ambi.
When will we come across another like him, who will explain with ease the high technology and poetry and literature and fiction to one and all.
I deeply regret his demise.
Mahesh.
