I can never write during the day in summer. During the rainy days, the mornings are very nice, more specifically early mornings and so I write from 6.30 am to 12 noon. I also schedule my life to suit the season. Evenings are pleasant, and so I write from 5.30 pm to 9.00 or 10.00 pm. When the summer begins, that is, March, April and May I don't write during the day. The mind is sensitive to receive information during these months
The temperature is cooler outside and there’s more music and festivals happening during this time. The world is very peaceful during December, everyone’s soft at heart.
For example, during winter, that is, the months of November to early March, the mornings are very pleasant. 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.
