Social media can be a forum to infuse some elements of humour in a subject like RBI’s policy rate cut.
The Chairman and Managing Director of Mahindra Group, Anand Mahindra, who had conducted a twitter poll on RBI’s credit policy on December 2, came out with praise for ‘Raghu’ (Raghuram Rajan, Governor of RBI) after RBI's surprise rate cut announcement on Thursday.
His tweet said: “Three cheers! The RBI Governor has moved from being 'Reluctant Raghu' to 'Rate-cut Raghu!'”

January 15, 2015In quick successions, his tweet got some replies. One of them by one Amit Paranjape said: “I thought he was 'Rock Star Rajan'. ”
Another by one Neeraj Baghel said: “I would say he was just being "Reserve" Raghu.. hope he really becomes "Rockstar" Raghu.. cheers”
One Mahesh Dwarapu was quick enough to say: "Right time Raghu', fits this guy, nicely.”
However, Mahindra also sought 100 bps cut in rates for a tangible impact. Another tweet by him said: “But market's euphoria is justified only if this signals more rate cuts to follow. Need 100 bps reduction for a tangible impact on consumption.”

January 15, 2015An element of Bollywood spice was added by one Sachin Nandode for Mahindra’s ‘rate-cut’ Rajan tweet. His tweet said: “#RaghuramRajan #Raghu - from 'Dil hai ke manata hi nahi' maan gaya!!!”
Those who have watched the Aamir Kahn-starer movie, Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahin , can recall that the name of the hero (played by Khan) was Raghu Jetley.
Now are you trying to find any co-relation between ‘Raghu’ and ‘Jetley’?
