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.

“Soft Targets” of the Movie Industry – LOL!

Raising Daughters, Not Future Brides

Sushmita Sen’s father once made a statement that he didn’t raise his daughter to be anyone’s wife (at least that is what social media says). For some reason, a few months back, this statement was dug up by someone, and… Continue Reading →

Body-Positive Parents = Body-Positive Kids

I am a person who took a very long time to embrace the term “body positivity.” I used to struggle with coming to terms with how I looked and the incessant comments from people about my “less-than-ideal” weight and looks…. Continue Reading →

FB – 14-May-2025

Had a harsh reminder today that you should be very careful of who you open up to about your mental health struggles, because the wrong people use it against you when the time comes.

FB – 7-May-2025

The slightest hint of retaliation for decades-long cross-border terrorism, and I’m sure, very soon there will be verbal attacks on how the Indian government and armed forces acted against the “humanitarian rights” of Pakistani civilians. The only reason civilians would… Continue Reading →

Never Badmouth Your Children

A few months back, while scrolling down my Facebook feed, I happened to come across a post from a food blog kind of Facebook page. I had already seen some posts previously from the lady who ran this page. While… Continue Reading →
