'THE INNOCENCE' SURPASSES ALL 'CLOSED BOUNDARIES!'


The child of 3 yrs was too cute for his sweet talk and expressions.... Nothing he used to leave unexplored.... Nothing he used to leave unobserved.... And nothing he used to leave without grasping to his best capacities....

It was the age when one day, he straight away promised his dear Grand Mom baking and supplying a Special Cake instead of the Normal One when he himself was unable to pronounce the word 'Special' as the Lady no doubt, with a big smile completed that word for him from her side....

As the child was away far off from the Motherland growing in distant Lands under the influence of an entirely different Culture, the traditional Grand Mom firmed up in her mind to teach the boy his Language and Culture partly so that the Little One as he grows up would carry all respect for his Motherland and his Originality.... She was perfectly correct there and the boy too was no less in learning that way which started thru' the distant Video Communication, the boy doing and copying what all he used to see his Grand Mom teaching thru' the Video....

The Grand Mom on that day said, "Dear! Today, I'll teach you a Bhajan.... You should repeat with me this Prayer closing your eyes.... Come on.... Do it now!"

Saying thus, she started, "Om! Jaya Jagadisha Hare, Swami Jaya Jagadisha Hare........"

No doubt the Little One instantly with all attention started repeating what his Grand Mom told and in a few days, by hearted the Procedure and the Prayer....

That day, the boy was in front of his Grand Mom and she made him say the full Prayer which he repeated sincerely and in the end the Elderly Lady instructed, "Now Dear! Close your eyes and say.... "Baba!" and having just said that, she was about to say,'
Take care of me well!' but passed for a while....

The boy with all zeal just said "Baba!" and hearing further nothing from his Grand Mom, simply continued...."Baba! Black sheep.... Have you any wool?......." to the great amusement of all around!

The Grand Mom never used to leave telling Epic Stories to her Grand Child.... No need to say.... At that point of time, he was simply her Little Krishna!

She emotionally said...."Dear! Little Krishna used to eat lots of butter and play with children around.... He used to save all good people and help them.... Once, you know he ate mud and his Mom angrily asked him to show his mouth.........."

The boy was in all attention listening to her....

"So Little Krishna is Great and every one liked him... And you agree that you are my Little Krishna?  Who are you? Say once...."

The boy with his broken accent and a smile said...."Little Krishna!"

The Grand Mom's happiness knew no bounds....

The next day as the Video Call started, the Lady with all zeal said, "Dear! Tell me.... You are my Little Krishna....Who are you?"

The boy looked at her and just repeated, "Little Krishna!" and then with a worried face said aloud...."But I can't eat any mud.... Butter.... Daily I eat a bit.... Not this much!" as every one around instantly burst into an unending laughter!
