Mahendra´s shoulder pads

Have been embarrassingly slow on the uptake, since this column was written in November, but stumbled across the following by Lev David in his Quiet Riot column for the Mail&Guardian, and was cheered to find another reference to Mahendra in popular culture.

Mahendra

I'm not going to complain about the dorky one-liners. Or the pervy lip-twist. And, frankly, I don't see why a man in an enlightened society shouldn't be allowed to wear shoulder pads.

I'm not complaining at all. I'm just worried about the guy.

We can't hear it, but there's somebody playing death metal and shouting through his earpiece: "Louder, Mahendra! Louder!"

Mr Raganath, you're scaring us.
