His first novel ‘’Matrum silar ‘’ (Few more ones) is a fiction on those migrants settled in Hyderabad, journeyed from the village Chinnalapatti, Madurai. The story was about a Hindi teacher who had lost her job in Tamilnadu and deprived of the best source of survival whilst the non-Hindi agitation was vigilant.
