Sujatha ( S. Rangarajan ). May 3, 1935 - Feb 27, 2008
He was one of the most inspiring and influential Tamil writers I've known till date. He was known to be the person who made Science and technology meet common people through his science fiction novels and short stories. A versatile writer and an engineer by profession, not many know that he was also the classmate of A.P.J. Adbul Kalam in college. He was also the key person behind Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) which is now used in elections throughout India.
His association with Mani Ratnam and Shankar gave us some amazing movies such as Roja, Iruvar, Kannathil Muthamittal, Aayitha Ezhuththu, Boys, Anniyan, Indian, Mudhalvan, and Sivaji. I was keenly waiting to witness his work in Shankar's Robot, as that was his forte, Science fiction genre. Its just shocking to know that he's no more.
Sujatha...You'll be deeply missed.....
