Or then, cut to the present, like most retrosexuals, it got styled, and became a fashion statement and made it to the covers of men's magazines. For a while it disappeared, replaced by the Virat Kohli beard, till Abhinandan Varthaman brought it once again into fashion.

But, back to Lobo Lobo, who came home, sporting one, but looking more like a Mexican baddie from a Clint Eastwood western.

"So Dikuna, wot you tink men?

I have spent some time growing dis style statement. Looks hep na, say me?"

Lobo Lobo, I'll be honest, did not look hep at all.

"Lobo Lobo, why are you growing your moustache? Now that you are no longer in the employ of a cable TV company, what are your plans?" I enquired suspiciously.

Lobo Lobo dropped a bombshell.

"I wish to become a model-cum-actor, Mr Rahul, and promote my own moustache. It will be called Moustachio Lobo."

"But why, Lobo Lobo, why?"

"Arre men, if a pilot whose main job is to fly de blinking jets and bomb de enemy, if he can have a moochi dat everyone is copying, den why not me, men? Me, Thelonious Lobo. I am considered a stylish dude in Virar men, you know dat, na?
Abhinandan is nothing compared to me."

"No, I did not know that, Mr Lobo."

"Yes men, every year in de Virar Fashion Week, I am de much in-demand model. All de leading designers of Virar want me to show off dere clodes. You've heard of dem: Vincent D'Lima DeQuadros, Cinderella Coutinho and Badshah Braganza?"

"Uh no, Lobo Lobo, I haven't heard of these fashion designers. They must be great."

"Yeah now I've been told Tarun wants me, too. Finally, Netflix is planning a TV series, based on a comedy of Shakespeare, where in each episode, there is a problem and I solve the mystery."

"Oh wow, Lobo Lobo. You'll be in a web series. That's impressive. What is it called, this Netflix series?" I asked.

"Mooch Ado About Nothing," Lobo Lobo concluded.
