A red-tie day

Finally spotted Mahendra. I didn't notice that he's put on weight, perhaps he's been hitting the gym?

He seemed rather up-beat, especially at the beginning of the bulletin, which provided a strange contrast to the subject matter of the news (xenophobic attacks). I really liked his tie - a glossy red - and sober grey jacket.

This is my first attempt at live blogging, and Mahendra has just wished us all a "lovely evening". Over and out.
