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.

Whichever way, I continue to write because I believe in doing what I like, no matter what others say.

Mommy Ramblings – #43

Taaru went to the toilet and almost fell into the commode. She came out of the toilet two minutes later and said with a straight face, “God is with me. I am a winner.” 😀

Smile Please :)

Being a huge fan of the legend Ratan Tata, like every other Indian, I was hooked to articles, reels and news coverage of his life, achievements, death, wake and funeral service for the last three days. But I am not… Continue Reading →

Rerelease Fad & Undeserving ‘Cult Classics’

The latest fad in the movie industry is re-releasing old movies in theatres. It started recently with a couple of Mohanlal-led Malayalam movies—Devadoothan and Manichithrathazhu. And before I knew, I started seeing re-release announcements from every other movie industry in… Continue Reading →

Welcome Back, Linkin Park

A few days ago, Linkin Park finally announced their new lineup which includes new lead vocalist, Emily Armstrong and sort of rose from the shadows, seven long years after the death of Chester Bennington. It would be an understatement if… Continue Reading →

A Talker’s Confession

I had once written about a few instances of how the ‘talker’ in me was cut short quite curtly or made to feel embarrassed for talking by people, some very close to me at the time. The link to that… Continue Reading →

Open Secrets of the Glam Movie World
