A union of two families - Vinutha & Radhakrishna
Every conversation with every couple is unique and special. But today’s conversation is extra special because my guests today are octogenarians, Vinutha and Radhakrisha, who’ve been married for over 60 years. Yes, you heard that right - they’ve been together for more than half a century. Vinutha was 19 and Radhakrishna was 26 when they got married back in 1960 It was also the day they first met. Since then, they’ve had 4 children and 7 grandchildren of their own, and raised a few others as their own. These days, they spend their time catching up with close friends and relatives, watching movies, listening to music, and reading books. While Vinutha can be often found solving Sudokus, Radhakrishna is a freelance writer who occasionally sings his and Vinutha’s favourite songs. While you may think that they are like any other couple from their generation, but believe me, the gold is really in the details.

They've known each other for almost two decades, of which they’ve been married for one.They’re opinionated hotheads who are as similar as they’re dissimilar, fight like cats and dogs but always have each others’ backs and fiercely protect their little world. Like Joel and Clementine from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, they are convinced that they will find their way back to each other even if their memories have been erased.
