My latest book is The One Who Swam With The Fishes.

"A mesmerizing account of the well-known story of Matsyagandha ... and her transformation from fisherman’s daughter to Satyavati, Santanu’s royal consort and the Mother/Progenitor of the Kuru clan." - Hindustan Times

"Themes of fate, morality and power overlay a subtle and essential feminism to make this lyrical book a must-read. If this is Madhavan’s first book in the Girls from the Mahabharata series, there is much to look forward to in the months to come." - Open Magazine

"A gleeful dollop of Blytonian magic ... Reddy Madhavan is also able to tackle some fairly sensitive subjects such as identity, the love of and karmic ties with parents, adoption, the first sexual encounter, loneliness, and my favourite, feminist rage." - Scroll

Surfer dude


In the middle of the Oestrogen Ocean, someone's making a splash...
The Silver Surfer is here, ladies and gents.
Before you ask, SS isnt one of eM's Boys, though he occasionally dresses up as a tin-foil-clad love-slave at parties. And he doesnt always talk about himself in the third person.
Why Silver Surfer? Well, Silver, because he's bullet-headed and eM sometimes uses him to kill werewolves, and surfer because, well, if you cant figure out the connection between a surfer and the Internet you shouldnt be here, you should be in a self-help bookstore.
This blog is still firmly eM's territory; I'll just be making the occasional splash. I'm a bit of a pet of eM's: Think Dilbert and Dogbert. So I might be a world-dominition aspirant and totally cute, but the strip is still called Dilbert.

  3. true. in which case, hello SS, welcome to blogosphere. And Silver Surfer is a very nice name, eM. He was the herald of Galactus, Devourer of World, and all that.

  7. I should point out that it has been revealed that the Silver Surfer is genderless. So, hardly appropriate as a representative of men.

  8. I think this is a double bluff, SS = eM. Call it, guys.

    And the up-side is, it roused the Gamer from his torpor.

    J.A.P.

  9. Hello, NO, it's not me. Silver Surfer do you care to comment? He's not genderless, he's just very cool and hot (if it's possible to be both)

  10. Good point, gamemaster.

    Although, he used to be a male humanoid alien. And he does occasionally have a love interest, who is a human female. And if I remeber correctly, he is known to flirt with another herald of Galactus, who also happens to be an ex-female. So it is a safe to say that Silver Surfer is sufficiently male-ish.

    But yeah, as I said, good point.
