Aadi for sale?

Come Aadi and Chennai somersaults with the old in the new package.The city is pitching its Aadi sales on an all time high.Newspapers, Tv's, Radio and its jockeys,Colourful posters and the whole lot.What begins like a nudge of an ad is screaming with skyrocketing promises.On your face visuals and product(s) captivatingly displayed in tempting design formats is all too obvious. Are there any value for money takeaways? Really? Or is Aadi comfortably placed in the middle of a year, every year, for stock clearance at thallupadi (discounted) rates? I'm on the lookout for items for my rented home and also a new apartment specifically to bring them new things and start things all over again. The flat we've managed to secure as tenants in advance, and in payment balance lies the money we need to get back from our current house owner here, who has sold to us her aadi logic And the deference thereafter, becomes all too convenient for her.An extra time bound rent and slackened schedule are the options leftover for us occupants, without any choice.Post aadi or pre aadi, this firewall creates effective one way passage that what comes, comes at a price, auspicious or inauspicious.There is no good time for choosing a better lifestyle, no discounting one's shifts and moves and no owner to restrict and allow any of these. A centralised rule hence, to be blind to such structural claims and be at home with the flavour of the month. Else no roof to cover a thinking head. We the people are at a loss for words, while property owners gain their place in their own terms and agreements. Only double standards conspicuosly survives in this loophole ridden cloak.Aadi is for sale!
