About the author
Rajesh Kumar
1,499 books261 followersRajesh Kumar is the pseudonym of KR Rajagopal, a Tamil author of crime fiction. He created a pseudonym based on the names of his sister and his sister-in-law: Rajeshwari and Ananthakumar. Prior to writing full-time, Kumar spent five years teaching, with a degree in education from Ramakrishna Vidyalaya. When he grew bored with this, he worked as a sales representative for an industrial rubber goods company.
Kumar's first published story was in 1968 or 1969, in the college magazine of Government Arts College, Coimbatore, where he earned a degree in botany. He has attributed this to a prank by another student, who used Kumar's name when volunteering to submit a story for the magazine; when his professor refused to allow Kumar to back out. The next day he reluctantly submitted "Vaazhndhu Kaatuvom", a love story.
Later that year, he submitted the crime story "Unnai Vidamaatten" to a short story contest in Maalai Murasu; this was the first story for which he was paid. In 1977, his work began appearing in Kumudam, starting with the short story "Idhu Nyayama".
His first novel, "Vaadagaiku Oru Uyir", was published in 1980. He subsequently told of how the editor of Kumudam had seen a porter on a platform at Egmore Railway Station engrossed in one of Kumar's stories. The porter had also forgone customers just to finish the story. It was then that the editor decided to make Kumar write a novel. In 1986, his publisher asked him if he could produce a novel a month; as a result, he became a full-time writer.
As of 2019, Kumar has written over 1500 novels; [dubious – discuss] his son, for whom digitizing the novels into e-books is a full-time profession, has been able to locate around 1,000 of them. He has also written over 2000 short stories, and scripts for over 250 television series, as well as the 2015 film Sandamarutham. He received the Tamil Nadu State government's prestigious 'Kalaimamani' award in 2009.

விபரீதமான செயல்களை என்றாவது ஒருநாள் முடித்து வைக்க எவரேனும் ஒருவர் முயல்வர்.
விபத்தில் ஆண்மையை இழந்த தேவேந்திரன் கண்ணில் படும் ஜோடிகளை எல்லாம் கொலைச் செய்ய,தனக்கு கீழே வேலை பார்க்கும் ஒருவனுக்குப் பிரமோஷன் கொடுத்து அதற்குப் பதிலாக அவனின் காதலியை தன்னைத் தேடிவரச் செய்து கொன்றுவிடுகிறான்.இக்கொலைக் காட்சிகள் பதிவான போட்டோ போலீஸ் கையில் கிடைத்துவிடப் பணத்தால் அனைத்தும் சரிக்கட்டப்படுகிறது.
தேவேந்திரனின் ஒருகொலையை மறைக்க உதவும் அவனின் குடும்ப டாக்டருக்கு அவன் மனதால் வெறிப்பிடித்துப் பாதிக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறான் என்று தெரிந்து தன்னால் ஆன உதவியாக அவனின் இதயத் துடிப்பை நிறுத்துகிறார்.

Ending could Have been better
Author rushed in the end to finish the story. The momentum was built but the end seemed like a forced one
