As a woman she was the embodiment of love, her premature marriage and resultant in compatibility may have thrown up problems in her life. But she never wanted to be libertine feminist, not one of her female characters is a liberated woman
When she began writing in Malayalam under the name Madhavikutty, her vocabulary was limited. She
Over came the hurdle by creating amazing poetic images and her literature found a language to carry the profound get spontaneous world of emotions.
Poet Sugatha Kumari belives that Kamala Suraiya has left an unbridgeable vacuum as a writer and as a person” she was a child like affectionate person delighting in friendships and the riches of life. Enjoying everything from the sparkle of a jewel to the splendour of sunset. She always had a yearming for some magical love which was never realized. Her soul was thirsty for some great adoration.

Her stories also summoned energy fo0rm incidents in her youth in culcutta. On December 16, 1999 at the age 65, she converted to Islam.
With her passing readers were left feeling like the family depicted in her short story Neyppayasam about the icy touch of death and never ending pain of loss. The protagonist comes home one day to find that his wife is no more. After the funeral, he worries what he should cook for his three children. In the Kitchen, he finds chapattis, rice, potato curry chips and curd. She had made them for him and their children before being snatched by death and in glass bowl, she had rustled up some thing special. Neyppayasam. The Kids greedily eat the sweet for they will never again be able to taste anything cooked by their mother
