In this particular case, the boy is trying to pacify one side at the expense of unfair hurt to the other. Being politic requires not hurting either side. Since he lacks the tact to do so & the guts to put his foot down at one point he fails to look masculine in my opinion.
LM, your ridicule reminds me of an old Tamil poem describing kuRuththOlai neettOlaiyai paarththu siriththa sirippu! It is a very old custom!!! This manner of youth!!!

Yes, I meant the same seyyuL! My grandma too brought us up with those lessons!
PP Mam,
I just don't agree with your generalised comments on youth (including your last post). That's why I reacted so. No offence meant.
Sorry if It sounded like generalisation. I am relating 2 specific cases which are a sample of increasing irresponsibilty in the youth. That does not mean all youth are inclined to act like that. The majority still follow sensible, respectful ways. I am like Kalam, with immense faith in youth who have not so far let me down generally in their judicious, balanced, enlightened behaviour. Only certain particular instances where the youth show lack of judgement, courage & justice I get pained & angered.
PP Maam,
Even in those two cases, elders too have their share of mistakes. Everything narrows down to the individual's way of handling things, IMO.
Sorry, from my point of view, in these 2 cases the parents have only overindulged their wards!!! That in my view is their mistake!!! You see, unlike in the west, our people still have to abide by the rules & expectations of their commuity & society, besides elders of the family. Our children are not left to live their lives independently from very young age. We feed them, pay their fees, dream for their future with a raw kind of animal attachment, expecting practically nothing in return except their happiness. Not as 'civilised' as our western counterparts! Or too civilised with refined sentiments- unlike animals & birds which tend their young only till thy learn to find food & cover, to survive on their own. The concept of family life is rather deeply embedded in our tradition with mutual responsibilities. In our system weightage should be given to many things besides one's OWN happiness.
My views will be entirely contradicting to yours. Anyway, let us agree to disagree :D
