Where inhibitions are set free!

Author Radhika Gopakumar

My friends say I am a very hyperactive, noisy person; although my blogs might not reflect that. I blog mainly about confused feelings I get from insane reveries I have. I have to be super-depressed, super-excited or super-pissed off to write, thereby making my writing pretty much emotional (or so people tell me). There have been people who have loved me for what I write, there have also been people who have despised me for it. Whichever way, I continue to write because I believe in doing what I like, no matter what others say.

A ‘Shobhaless’ Critique of Nationalism

There was a time when I used to write about things that have a hue of politics and religion – solely to call out people’s double standards and blatant hypocrisy when it comes to having different behaviours in response to… Continue Reading →

Teachers and Gratitude for Terror – A Baffling Mystery

In the movie Action Hero Biju, there is a scene where Nivin Pauly, who plays the town SI, talks to school students about an incident from his childhood where his teacher beat him with a cane, causing his skin to… Continue Reading →

Malayalis’ Beef with Sunglasses and English

I have often wondered what Malayalis’ beef with sunglasses is. Because a lot of them sure do have a problem with it. Don’t believe me? Just go to the comments section of any picture of someone (no gender bias here)… Continue Reading →

Mommy Ramblings – #51

Taaru was driving Vedu crazy one day with her never-ending complaints—“Amme, Chechi is doing this!” “Amme, Chechi is doing that!” Fed up, Vedu told her sternly, “Stop being a complaint box!” Without missing a beat, Taaru clapped back with a… Continue Reading →

Nepotism or Parental Love? – The Big M Edition

Those who have read my older blogs know that I am someone who hates the “anti-nepotism” brigade that used someone’s tragic death as a weapon to spew their venom and are a bunch of losers who refuse to acknowledge the… Continue Reading →
