I am a season oriented person and my writing too changes according to the season. ![]() If I’m unable to finish, I reschedule to make sure I finish it. I also spend time on reading, watching films, and travelling. 80 percent of it I decide in advance and I always execute it properly. You’ve written short stories, children's fiction, novels, plays, etc. I wanted to write about something people didn't know about Nadaswaram. I also was not sure if I wanted to write about their music or about the artists themselves. Thillana Mohanambal is a popular novel that has been written on it already. I worked on this novel for about 1.5 years. I don't research anything for the purpose of writing. I wanted to understand their life better and I had no plans of writing a book back then. I’ve thought about it as a young boy several times. ![]() ![]() Where do they come from? Whom do they learn from? How much do they earn? I might not know the raga in which they play but I wanted to know what they do for a living. From the time I was a young boy, I’ve heard Nadaswaram players in temples, functions and weddings. ![]() I’ve been writing for over 25 years as a full-time writer and this recognition comes as a big honour. I am very happy about receiving the award.
