A day out and home alone have been subject matter of movies. But it would be a matter of curiosity if one were to encounter a kid no more than a couple of feet from its toes wandering around an alien land without fear or curiosity. As is evident from the Krishna Leela stories some children are endowed with this ability. Across our house is an apartment block and is guarded by a Nepali Gurkha. After coming to terms with the culture and cuisine of this land, he chose to take a break and brought home his wife and young daughter. This little one was full of energy and did not comprehend any language other than her native tongue. All of two feet she strutted around with the air of a princess or more of an empress. She regally walked into any home in the locality, gestured for attention and with a smile on her face could get anything which failed her father's reach. Within days of her arrival she made her mark as the female Krishna of this Gokula. Much to the discomfiture of her parents she chose a radius of a kilometre as her fortress. Vehicles passing had to give way for this little one. Elders rebuked youth who refused to oblige her. The lady made a mark in no uncertain terms. She also established Din ilahi by making no difference on caste, creed, colour, religion, gender or race. The more one sees her elegance, one is tempted to put her in front of the royal blue blood of the Windsor Castle and watch them kneel to her opulent elegance. Krishnaa of Mahabharatha would also envy her elegance and the day is not far off to trumpet her arrival on the stage of the world.
No wonder the texts call the child as the father of man.
