Gyan Correa is my oldest chaddi buddy. Forty years ago, we played cricket together, smashed neighbours’ windows, rang their doorbells and then hid as crazy kids are wont to do. We joined St Xaviers College, drank cutting chai, and cut lectures. We were part of a college gang that shared mutton biryanis at Café Mayrose, Dhobi Talao, as we shared our teenage years. Gyan and I started our careers together at the Xavier Institute of Communications, making audio visuals in a non- digital age.
