From a very young age, Girish was drawn towards the language and literature of Malayalam. During his childhood days he is an active member of Balasangam (an Indian children's organization wing of the CPIM )and later he became a noted artist of Chenthara Arts Club (a cultural club located in Puthenchery) by writing and directing many dramas and songs. At the age of 14 his first poem is published in Chenthara's weekly magazine.

He is married to Beena and they have two children, Jitin Puthenchery and Din nath Puthenchery. His elder son Jithin started off as an assistant director, working on films Breaking News, Money Rathnam, Rock On 2 and Tharangam. Jithin managed to land his first major acting gig after writer director Shankar Ramakrishnan organised an acting camp to select actors for Pathinettam Padi. Jithin also played major roles in the films include Edakkad Bttalion , Pranaya Meenukalude Kadal.[3] His younger son Din Nath started his career as a lyricist who has penned many songs for Malayalam films including Meow Meow Karimpoocha, Matinee , Aasha Black, Money Ratnam , Gunday,Chennai Koottam, Seconds, Moonu Wickettinu 365 Runs, Olappeeppi, Mangalyam Thanthunanena, and is currently working as an assistant director in Malayalam film industry, most recently on the movie Trance.[4] His nephew, Sajan K.

Girish made his debut in the Malayalam film industry through 1989 Malayalam movie Enquiry, which was directed by U.V Raveendranath and with Rajamani as the music composer, but the songs didn't gain much popularity.
