How wrong we were. August 20 brought in the birth anniversary of Reluctant-Politician-With-A-Killer-Smile, a.k.a Rajiv Gandhi (not present-day RaGa, thought the same description does apply). Usually a day of great revelry for our daily newspapers, this time, it was as sedate as it gets. There were none of those ads with that amiable smile. None at all. But guess who’s stepped in to fill that vacuum? (Not that it’s unfair – newspapers too should have their share of ache din, after all.) The new government of course, silly. And the new poster-boy on the block is our man himself.
