I am a surgeon working in Lake shore Hospital in Kochi, a city in the state of Kerala at the southern tip of India. A stroke at the age of 39 left my left side considerably weakened, putting paid to my career as a surgeon.

Ever since Supreme Court’s ruling permitting women of all ages to worship at Sabarimala, ‘God’s own country’ which Kerala is known as has turned into a battle field.

It’s ‘Vot(a)e Saranam’ instead of ‘Swamiye Saranam’

ever since the Supreme court ruling of Sept 28 2018 lifting the ban on women of 10-50 years of age from entering the Sabarimala Temple, it’s been the typical politicians’ free-for-all, converting a once peaceful and a secular place of worship into a battle field, to garner votes, with Lord Ayappa reduced to a helpless bystander.

#ME TOO: don’t women have a responsibility too?

With sex-crazy men on the prowl in India and the country having lost her age-old culture of respect for womanhood, the #METOO movement, the inevitable fallout to knock on the country’s doors was only a matter of time away. But, don’t women have a figment of responsibility for their predicament?

Sabarimala: women must decide independently

Supreme Court lifting restriction for women of all ages to enter the Lord Ayyappa Temple at Sabarimala in Kerala not only opens a can of worms, but also provides a piece of bone for political parties to yelp at. But is it not really women devotees who must be deciding independently about worshipping the celibate Deity in His abode.

Kamasutra slated to break many a mangalsutra!

Before dust could settle on the Supreme Court legalizing gay relationships by scrapping Article 377 of the IPC, the Court had puritans run for cover by allowing adultery ‘free for all’ by ruling Article 497 defunct
