Last week, when a grey-haired man wearing a blazer with chappals alighted from a cab in the foyer of a five-star hotel in Mumbai and announced he was Manohar Parrikar, the chief minister of Goa, the doorman was on the point of snorting and retorting: “Yeah right and I’m the president of the United States.” But Parrikar’s car hadn’t arrived on time and rather than getting late, he flagged down the nearest taxi and reached the hotel.
