Not talking shop

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Deputy Governor K C Chakrabarty loves to talk as much as people love to listen to him. At a recent banking seminar he was the last speaker and he made the point that he was at a disadvantage since he ran the danger of being repetitive. He still spoke at length. But when it came to answering questions from reporters on inflation he was uncharacteristically brief. “I can’t talk on inflation everyday. It’s not a cricket match,” he said.
