Vikram has always been partial to Cheetos. This is the transcript of an actual conversation with Vikram:
Anand: had a good janmashtami? filled up with goodies?
Vikram: yes, it was good. thanks. sweets though - i dont like sweets
A: no murukku business is it?
V: "cheedai" - non-sweet round items. not liked either. no festival involves popcorn or corn-puffs unfortunately.
There has always been an easy way to bribe Vikram to do anything one wants: Offer him Flaming hot Cheetos. Trish used to do this to great effect back in the day whenever she wanted Vikram to load her click data or her revenue data and so on.
The thing about flaming hot cheetos is that it converts your fingers to a reddish-purple hue. And when you spend most of your time typing at a keyboard, this converts all your keys to a reddish-purple hue also. This also renders your keyboard unusable by anyone except a touch typist because the lettering on the keys are indistinguishable.
