'''B. Sivasankaran Nair'''({{lang-ml|ബി. ശിവശങ്കരൻ നായർ}}), popularly known as '''Bichu Thirumala''' ({{lang-ml|ബിച്ചു തിരുമല}}) is an Indian [[lyricist]] and [[poet]] from [[Kerala]], who works in the [[Cinema of Kerala|Malayalam film industry]]. He, along with [[O. N. V. Kurup]], is known for creating the style of arranging beautiful words in [[Malayalam film]] songs. In Malayalam cinema, Bichu Thirumala led the group of lyricists who wrote songs for readymade tunes. In 1981, he won the [[Kerala State Film Award]] for the best lyricist for the films ''Thrishna'' and ''[[Thenum Vayambum]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prd.kerala.gov.in/stateawards2.htm|title=Kerala State Film Awards|publisher=The Information & Public Relations Department of Kerala|access-date=2009-10-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091119014326/http://www.prd.kerala.gov.in/stateawards2.htm|archive-date=19 November 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> Thirumala won the same award for the second time in 1991, for the [[Rajasenan]] directed film ''[[Kadinjool Kalyanam]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prd.kerala.gov.in/stateawards3.htm|title=Kerala State Film Awards|publisher=The Information & Public Relations Department of Kerala|access-date=2009-10-15|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303234157/http://www.prd.kerala.gov.in/stateawards3.htm|archive-date=2016-03-03}}</ref>

His prolific Malayalam film repertoire includes work with eminent composers like [[G. Devarajan]], [[V. Dakshinamurthy]], M.S. Baburaj, [[K. Raghavan]], [[M.S. Viswanathan]], A.T. Ummer, [[Shyam (composer)|Shyam]], K.J. Joy, [[Shankar–Ganesh]], Jaya Vijaya, [[Raveendran]], [[Jerry Amaldev]], [[Johnson (composer)|Johnson]], [[Ouseppachan]], [[Ilaiyaraaja]], [[A. R. Rahman]] and the list goes on.

==Career==
Bichu Thirumala started his lyricist career in the 1972 Malayalam film ''Bhaja Govindam''. After his modest beginning, Thirumala went on to become one of the most successful Malayalam lyricists and wrote songs for such notable music directors as [[Shyam (composer)|Shyam]], [[A. T. Ummer]], [[Raveendran]], [[G. Devarajan]], and [[Ilaiyaraaja]]. In the 1970s he teamed up with music director [[A. T. Ummer]] to compose many sweet melodies.{{ clarify | date = January 2016 | reason = If he's a lyricist, he probably didn't compose the melodies. It was likely A. T. Ummer who did that.}} Bichu Thirumala penned the lines for AR Rahman's one and only Malayalam music for film, ''Yodha''. His first song "Brahma Muhoorthathil" became popular as a "lalitha gaanam" or light song since the movie ''Bhaja Govindam'' did not see the light of the day. Radio Ceylon used to air the song in the early-1970s.

==Family==
Bichu Thirumala was born to C. G. Bhaskaran Nair and Sasthamangalam Pattanikkunnu Veettil Parukutty Amma on February 13, 1942. Originally named Sivasankaran Nair, he is the eldest child of his parents. His siblings are late Balagopalan (died at the age of two in 1946), popular singer [[P. Susheela Devi]] and music director [[Darsan Raman]]. He is married to Prasanna (Retd. Finance Officer, Kerala Water Authority) and they have a son named Suman Bichu (Music Director).<ref>[http://cinidiary.com/peopleinfo.php?sletter=B&pigsection=Music&picata=7 CiniDiary]</ref>
