A former corporate honcho who has renounced the business world and become a “televisionary”, offering views on every topic under the benign Bangalore sun, has apparently started holding a durbar every morning at his residence, where impressionable dehatis from various impoverished parts of the nation line up for jobs and general gyaan.

In his new-found persona, the forty-something paper tiger dashes off letters to various functionaries of the government where he “advises” the babus to do the needful. In his private moments, the man is even known to have told a few people that in ten years’ time, he will be the prime minister of the country.

Who could this genius be? Our lips, as usual, are sealed.
