One-day matches are not so cool anymore,” she said, ruffling her dad’s hair as she went past him to sit in the sofa opposite. “Welcome to the Twenty20 world. Who has the time or the inclination to spend a whole day watching cricket?”

Avinash looked at his daughter over the rims of his spectacles. He was a successful businessman who had an electronics showroom. He shot back: “That is the problem with your generation; you want everything to happen quickly. What do you think, Rahul?” he asked his son.
