After the disappointment of Friday the 13th, It was another Friday just seven days away at Delhi as the Judge at Patiala House spelt out the verdict and Kanimozhi looked at every one for translation in between the chaos, it was but an Irony of sorts that A.Raja the former telecom minister, her partner in crime to say and now an inmate of Delhi's poshest addresses translated the verdict. Even as Kani took resort in the tears of heart felt emotions and arms of her much less seen husband Aravindan I should say some people who wanted to see her behind bars did miss a beat for the lady, whose career had come to an halt only when every one felt she was DMK's answer to its archrival Jaya. She was in more than one way the most suitable to take on Amma, Well-spoken, Well-mannered, Women's Rights Activist, the true Dravidian Thought process in a progressive way, if only it was not for her 2G involvement.Even as the smile had evaded the poet and her name trended on twitter, even as she and her party had become the butt of all jokes about corruption,even as some great coalations were on the verge of break up and even as her mother was flying to Delhi - The failure of Kanimozhi in more than one ways was to see the breakdown of one of the greatest Chankyas of mordern day Indian Politics. Muthuvel Karunanidhi(M.K) has never looked so distorted wether it was his first arrest for fighting for Tamil Country or when MGR became a chief minister in 1977 crushing DMK or when Jaya ordered for his arrest in 2001 or when he lost this time. There always remained an air of aloofness in his defeat as though it did not matter much to him. But on 20th may his plans had gone haywire.. a family he had so grandly protected had lost its girl child to law. No pressures from the patriarch worked before the most independent body of the Indian democracy. As M.K came out and gave his speech to the world after his defeat one look and it would have been enough for a person to understand that his will to go on had been dented, given a hard blow. In between all this it is not to be forgotten that no matter what he is today, he has had his share of limelight.He has been chief minister for quite a few terms and is definitely today the grand daddy of dravidian politics, just that the father in him took over in the last few years.
An orator of par excellence was at loss of words about her arrest, he definitely would have anticipated this coming just that he did not have enough time to make ammends,, even as the words 'thinchotru kadan theerka seradha idam serndhu vanjathil vizndhaya da... karnaa.. vanjagan kannan ada..' would have played in his mind, the incident saw the fall of a long standing(shud i say sitting) leader of indian politics giving up, saying without saying that he is hanging his boots. The Grand Daddy of Indian politics is a daddy after all.. "oru thanthai irukkum nilamayil dhan naan ullen' he said. Its time sir you said goodbye to our politics and get a decent retirement, otherwise you will end up being like another 'Karuna' in the neighbouring state who bore the brunt of being a 'Great Daddy'.
