I suppose that "saving the day" was, for Mahesh, confirmation of his wonderfultivity. My personal time around Mahesh, which for nearly 18 months was all- day-every-day, confirms, for me, at least, that Mahesh lives in the bubble of his own private world. He opines upon what should be done about the world he thinks exists outside his bubble and expects the flunkies to accomplish this: do nothing, accomplish everything.
