Mr Godbole remembers

I&nbspnever met Mario Miranda. But for many years, it was my onerous duty to call him once a month, sound as panic-stricken as possible (which was easy, because I was) and urge him to send his cartoons in on time. Mario was never in a hurry to do so. Once he did send them, it was a bit of a treasure hunt, chasing down the slim, brown envelope from Goa everywhere from the despatch department to Vinod Mehta&rsquos office (Mario always addressed the &rsquotoons to his old pal).
