==Biography==
He was born on 10 July 1930 in Chennai in a traditional [[Iyengar]] family.

He has written several short stories, plays and novels in Tamil that have been translated into several Indian and world languages.

He has carved a special niche for himself in Tamil literature - his characters, mostly urban intellectuals, speak very openly and analyze deeply what others say. Most of his novels are set in Delhi, where he lived during his working years, or in the [[Srirangam]] area of [[Tamil Nadu]], where he spent his childhood. Some of his novels, such as ''Kuruthi Punal'' intermingle these two milieus.

He has won several awards including the Sangeeth Natak Academy, [[Sahitya Academy]] and [[Saraswathi Samman]] Award. He is the only Tamil writer to have won both the Sangeeth Natak and Sahitya Academy Award.
