My head was somewhere in the clouds at 7 o'clock this evening, and the rest of my body too, as I was on an aeroplane, homeward bound.
So I missed Mahendra, and also missed him, as it were.
Earlier in the evening, I found myself involuntarily appraising the tie of the driver who was taking me to the airport.
Its knot was disconcertingly modest, and I yearned for Mahendra's bulbous creations. I will refrain from describing this inferior tie in more detail, as I am strongly against product placement(particularly when no one has offered to pay us).
Suffice it to say - the driver's tie competed with Mahendra's in the brightness stakes.

I think it's time to deconstruct this issue of the ties brightness interms of the shirt's colour. Sometimes people have been - justifiably" confused about the colour of mahendra's shirt (that is when it is not an obvious rainbow colour) see the recent post "Graeme Mahendra Simon."
This si where the issue of colur temperature and white balancing comes into play. The camera men must set their camera's to "see" white as "white". If they adjust their setting incorrectly the actually white shirt may appear slightly blue or orange, usually, even reddish if the studio lights are red.
This is one possible explanation, however I feel their tasks are NOT made easier but the brightest of the ties. Let me explain. It is just possible that Mahendra's ties are so bright that they are giving off a a kind of glow, illuminating his white shirts. This would be a testament to the power and influence of his ties, but in the words of many an amatuer theorist, this is still subject to detailed study.
