And so, Sanjay Manjrekar came to me post the India-Bangladesh match, dressed like Professor Higgins in My Fair Lady, sans top hat. "Master daCunha, I demand to know why in heaven's name, the Twitter world, actually the whole world, is against me? Tell me, they are even starting an online petition to ban me. I'm just doing my job, while everyone is eulogising 87-year-old Charulata Patel for her love and patriotism. So, why are they trolling me? I'm a patriot, too," said Mr Manjrekar, already using 45 words, for what he could have said in five. "How dare Sir Jadeja say that I have verbal diarrhoea? I am a man of few words."

"Don't be so 'senti', Sanju-Manju. Clearly you need to shift your rebellious stance to one of serious reflection. You have work to do. Want me to be honest?" I enquired.
"Yes," he said. "Please be honest."
