Jayaraman is a multi-faceted personality adept in writing books, composing songs, writing poems and making short films. He used his skills to create memes and sensitise young voters not to accept cash or gifts to exercise their franchise.

A chance reading of Nanjil Nadan's book Soodiya Poo Soodarka, which was gifted by a friend, attracted him to the world of literature. "Before reading the book, I used to write thriller stories for a Tamil weekly," Jayaraman told TNIE.
