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.

Pricking the Friendship Bubbles

One of Vedu’s classmates addresses Vedu as her best friend. For Vedu’s birthday, she makes cards, always treats her with extra love, and her family knows Vedu as her best friend. I’ve seen Vedu make cards for her birthday and… Continue Reading →

A week ago, Hari helped move our sofa out of the house with a couple of others, and I finally had the chance to yell “PIVOT!!!” 😀

A “Fussy” Mom’s “Fussiest” Memory

A while back, there was an advertisement from FirstCry about “fussy moms.” I watched that advertisement and found myself laughing, because I really was, and in some ways, still am, that mom. I am “fussy” about car seats, I am… Continue Reading →

Language Evolution Fails

Evolution of language is undeniably an ongoing process, one that is very much needed at that. If language didn’t evolve, we would still (openly) talk about people as ugly, just as Hercule Poirot or any other Agatha Christie character did,… Continue Reading →

Mommy Ramblings – #46

Vedu just told me very sweetly, “Amme, although you are the last funniest in the house, you are still very funny.” I don’t know if that is a compliment or an insult.
