The royal lemur King Googlyan had been absconding after his successful prediction of the second Test between India and West Indies. The King did not report on the eve of the first ODI angering the expectant fans who were eager to know about the outcome of the match. Worried, we sent one of our reporters knocking at his hotel room, only to find out that he had gone to a shady watering hole in Grant Road to celebrate his accurate prediction of India's Test series win. But unfortunately, while revelling in the spirit of his predictions with spirits, he got robbed by a couple of patrons who fled with his wallet while the King was boasting about his prediction powers to other patrons, who were kind enough to listen.

As a result, the King could not pay his bill of Rs 1,000, and the restaurant owner made a on-the -spot prediction that the King would have to wash dishes to compensate for the bill. Well, after scouting Grant Road for a couple of days, we finally located King and paid the remaining amount of Rs. 750 ,the king apparently finished doing dishes worth only Rs 250 in 5 days. The owner had taken ill after seeing the King's strike rate with the dishes and he was the most relieved when we paid off the bill and got King out of the watering hole and into the mid-day office in time to get him going with his predictions on the second ODI between India and West Indies to be played at Visakhapatnam.
