 He has translated James Joyce, T. S. Eliot and K. Ayyappa Paniker, to name just a few.His best translation work may be the book "The Little Sparrow" in which he devotes himself entirely to the great Subramania Bharati's writing.Although the influence of James Joyce was pronounced in his writings, it was more the metaphysical and religious thrust similar to T. S. Eliot's and the spareness of style of a Samuel Beckett that really made his works stand out.
