Of Alagiri and Mumbai Girl in Adult Frame

DMK leader Alagiri wants Kanimozhi and Raja to be stripped of party posts and all powers. This set of demands from this Alagiri to that DMK Karunanidhi is in line with his understanding of the ground situation in the state of Tamil Nadu. "The ground beneath is slipping fast and unless we act to oust Raja and Kanimozhi the public won't give us another chance to bat."
This stripping that Alagiri seeks is entirely different from a Mumbai girl having stepped into adult frame and intending to strip her parents of their earning fame. The contention before the court is that the girl (all of 18) is seized with a monthly expense of Rs 2 lakh and given the nature of demands emanating from her hideout it is not possible for her pa (who has the custody) to pull along all alone and seek a contribution from her working ma. THe girl has suggested that Rs 2 lakh ceiling would be breached once she begins to pursue her MBA feast.
It is pa who has suggested to court that her da's (daughter) monthly expense rounds up to Rs 2 lakh and here in his estranged partner needs to chip in. THe ma vs pa battle which should have been settled when they separated hasn't had its final tale. The Pa's arguments make us believe that Rs 2 lakh monthly expenses are normal by any standards given the aspirational life the young guns live and the exemplary and by no means exceptional standards they maintain. It is not an exception but acceptance that high and mighty standards are to be maintained in perpetuity to truly realise the inner self. The ringing belief that cash outgo are necessary for a liberal life flow leaves the forces who brought them to earth to stretch out and seek new avenues of growth. For parents faced with such a wish list, with limited avenues at disposal, taking to graft route is the sole route to survival. Perhaps the 2 lakh monthly expenses would open floodgates when kids having reached adult frame would demand the same token gesture from their parents to give a new wheel to their aspirations. And here again the courts would have to step in to clear the clogged drains.
The split in girl's family in Mumbai and DMK family in Chennai is wide open with the age being the sole differentiator between the girl and Alagiri. Both have aspirations and both want to peak to new levels of freedom and excellence. And in the process one hands out resignation letter to Karuna the actor and other sends a court notice to a ma who is looking for a breather from hubby and hubby ki beti.
And this is precisely what the BJP top brass discussed on the fate of beti and the fate of Alagiri. And the meet which was conclusive in nature concluded that beti and alagiri are two sides of the same coin; both seeking their pound of flesh in the world of household and governance fort.
