Here, he tries to impress on the aspirants of fiction writing with the basic lessons on how to conceive an idea and to convert into a story, how to develop it, the significance of conversation and the need to extend them carefully without slipping into boredom, the twist needed to make the story memorable.

‘How to write a Story’ was the tile of the third book. He had his stint with the Tamil film world also through ‘Ithu saththiyam’, ‘Sumai Thangi’, and ‘Mahanadi.’ Title of the book: ‘Neengalum Muthalvaragalam’. Serialized in ‘Nakkeran’ the book carries beautiful illustrations by artists Syam. Instead of preaching directly in sterile words, he moves the conversation as a stage or radio play characters strutting now and then. Rangarajan with his immense experience in fiction writing created characters who needs a solution for their problem seeking counseling with him.

Ra,Ki, Ra had acknowledged that he had been influenced by the book ‘Instant Analysis’, the author had created a characters who are shy, confused, doubtful, hesitant, procrastinating, complex, indecisive come and seek the advice of a professor named Siva Chidambaram living in a cosmopolitan residential quarters. The other one is a self development sort of a book.

The essays aren’t too long but at the same time very crisp almost every one with a tinge of humor. Here he had dealt with many topics from the civic issues, his interactions with many popular figures, certain comical situations of real life, his pilgrim jaunts, visit to USA and participation in public functions. ‘Naalu Disaiyulum Santhosham’ is a compilation of his weekly columns in Anna Nagar Times. In recent times, I happened to read some of his four books which were some sort of a breezy jottings and a drama also which are a blend of something serious, some hilarious, some silly and some philosophical.

‘Professor Mithra’, ‘Marupadiyum Devaki’ (Krishna Kumar) are still popular among his fans. However, his poignant novels like ‘Ithu Saththiyam’, ‘Padagu Veedu’, ‘Naan, Krishnadevarayan’, ‘ Adimayin Kaathal’, ‘Vaalin Muththam’ (Mohini), ‘Olivatharku Idamillai’ (T.Duraisami). Each style would be different from the other and it is practically impossible to identify him when he wrote in other pen names. He not only flaunted his writings in a host of pseudonyms like Krishna Kumar, Hamsa, Mohini, Surya, Mulri, Avittam, T. He served with the popular Tamil weekly ‘Kumudam’ for nearly 4 decades and more. Rangarajan is someone highly prolific who had almost touched all genres of writing in his long innings in journalism.
