Prime Family Squabble In Media


The prime family ,of Tamilnadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi,are always in the limelight for one reason or other.

The brothers, Alagiri and Stalin  are poles apart, one a flamboyant and the other a much reserved seemingly quiet entity.

Now the nephew Maran’s family has stolen the show.

Karunanidhi ,with his sharp penning and penetrating insight ,has written a detailed note and listed the various events that has led to the estrangement.

Right, a rift is well set.

But why is it given so much publicity?

Is it because ,Karunanidhi, is the chief Minister of Tamilnadu?

Every family ,whether  powerful or ordinary, whether rich or poor, whether famous or less known, have their own differences, own shortcomings, own hard feelings,and own frenzied visions.

Does the media bother  to give an impetus to such distinctive digressions  of the multitude?

Citi group for sale.


What a tremendous impasse!

It is the most unexpected event of the year 2008.

Citi a gigantic ,imperial , and a dynamic bank is up for sale.

The stock price has fallen by more than50%.

Another instance of ostentataion succumbing to pressure.

We have to go back to the basics.

Banks, are primarily lending institutions,not supermarkets displaying snobbish products.

Their business is funding, collecting interest,  and mobilising deposits.

Highly paid , well educated, high profile executives have driven economy to its depths.

A justified, modest ,graceful  evenly poised ,customer friendly, investor reliant attribute is the call of the hour.
