Nobel Gopal is known for his extraordinary thinking, speaking, and acting. He is married and has one wife, two sons, and two daughters. His wife is a homemaker cum troublemaker, while Gopal is a peacemaker cum Tea-coffee-maker. Whenever Gopal wanted to relax in front of the TV, his wife creates trouble. Due to this, he could never watch any episode of any TV serial for more than three minutes and fifty seconds. It is also pertinent to mention that Nobel Gopal is a family-oriented man. For that matter, he treated his neighbors also as family members and due to this, he used to invite trouble from his trouble-maker wife. For the skirmishes he commits, he gets scolding and cursing and in extreme cases, forced fasting treatment from his beloved Gopi. Yes, his wife’s name is Gopi Bobby.

Recently, he involuntarily submitted his voluntary retirement application momentarily and was relieved from his official services instantly, immediately, and permanently. He worked as a teacher and a part-time preacher at a home for mentally challenged persons.

His subject was English. But he was interested more in Geography and Photography. He used a camera that was abandoned by his grandfather and neglected by his father. One day while he was clicking photos with that vintage camera while traveling in a rope car, the camera slipped into a ravine. Momentarily he felt like jumping down to get his camera back but thought “My grandfather abandoned it, my father neglected it, and now I slipped it. That’s life.” He then observed one-minute silence for the camera and took an oath that he would never use a traditional camera again in his life but would use a cell phone as a standby camera.

Prior to his involuntary voluntary retirement, he got into the strange habit of teaching more geography and photography in his English classes. He carried one Murphy radio on which he listened to songs of Mohd.Rafi. His pet dictator was Colonel Gaddafi and his pet animal is, a giraffe, of course.
