What's with this hypocrisy?
While the state's reeling under a severe power crisis, MK lights up his events--no, not by his presence, but literally!
MK asks business establishments to minimize the use of power and what I do I see the day before yesterday near Anna University?
A function where MK inaugurated 6 new engineering colleges was announced by so many lights that it seemed like Diwali. And tubelights announced MK's arrival all along the main Anna University Road (S.P. Road, isn't it?)
Why, so that people can see where the main road is? It's well lit already, thank you very much! And tons of serial bulbs in the shape of the rising sun--why, why, why?
Of course, they are not the only culprits--I see temples lighting up the Chennai skyline with bulb-portraits of various gods and goddesses--not a good idea when people are facing a 4-hour power cut in the suburbs--where is our sense of propreity?
Oh well, that's my soapbox for the day. I so wish I had a camera phone so this piece would make more sense. I bet wouldn't have had to write anything! Guess I've to keep up with the Moorthys after all :)

I had used the photos of the iluminations in a post without saying anything, but letting people read between the lines.....
And we are powerless to do anything except rant and rail!Everyone shares your feelings, chennaigirl.
I'd written something similar... this happens every now and then. and then - he claims we use up too much power... So also all these big time establishments light up their domes. Though it looks great from outside, who cares?
Raji:
I loved the way you had done it--am very J!
Karthik:
Who cares indeed. Thanks for stopping by.
