Of ties, teaspoons and slide guitar


Tonight the Raghunath was sporting a pale pink shirt, and the very same tie he wore for his Top Billing shoot: pink with criss-crossing purple and white stripes. Shame, perhaps he is nostalgic for his 15 minutes of fame (more like three minutes, really!) on a magazine programme, but don't worry Mahendra, you still have your regular news-watching fans to keep you company (albeit of a virtual kind).

What I really want to know is when he'll wear his favourite red tie. Mahendra, if you're reading this, please humour us and wear it soon!

I am guilty of not always watching until the end of the news, but tonight I was glad I sat through it all, even the sport. The quirky "human interest" insert at the end was about a certain Hannes Coetzee, who has mastered the unlikely art of playing side guitar with a teaspoon. Check it out on Youtube.

This seemed to tickle The Raghunath's fancy, and he left us with the immortal line: "I s'pose you could call it 'spoonerism'". Hmmm, not really, but perhaps I'm just being a linguistic pedant?
