Sujatha was the allonym of the Tamil author S. Rangarajan, Author of over 100 novels, 250 short stories, ten books on science, ten stage plays, and a slim volume of poems. He was one of the most popular authors in Tamil literature, and a regular contributor to topical columns in Tamil periodicals such as Ananda Vikatan, Kumudam and Kalki. He had a wide readership, and served for a brief period as the editor of Kumudam, and has also written screenplays and dialogues for several Tamil movies.
As an engineer, he supervised the design and production of the electronic voting machine (EVM) during his tenure at Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), a machine which is currently used in elections throughout India. As an author he inspired many authors, including Balakumaran, Madhan.
The book as the name means is on thought of sujatha. Most of them were published in the online portal for which the author worked around late 90's and early 2000's. So most of the incidents that he quotes are those happenings. Last 30 pages are some of the thoughts / experiences that he has shared in different time frame on different things in a short story kind of format.
Sujatha sir is always at his best when things are complicated and he has to explain them short. He does the same perfectly here, some of his thoughts on issues like politics and sports could be known here. How he explains physiological and biological problems are something unique to him, sharing things from different books and quoting data points makes us not only understand things but also gives us direction if we prefer to understand more.
Most of the book is like an editorial and could not get much involved. Amount of involvement that he could make us go through while talking on srirangam is not the same when he talks on SAARC, may be life experience is different while life events are different. In all highly recommended book for sujatha fans, for others if you would be interested in knowing late 90s event and sujathas thoughts on it you can go for it, if not it can be ignored.
