Well, yesterday's responses certainly were illuminating. Especially those PMs I received from my private correspondents, who tend to be very spare in their postings. Everyone slyly turned down my invitations to be interviewed. Excuses varied from modesty to having evacuated NQ to fear of the typical ET ridicule.

With the deepest trepidation, we will start with the young and brash Rahula Gautama, spiritual leader of the Mumbai Coffee Shop and Trading Salon.
