Eternal Gandhi

I realize the mouse has been taking up a lot of my time, but there are other aspects to life as well.
Ever since we saw Lage Raho, Munnabhai, the Mahatma has found an ardent fan in my daughter. She knows he was a freedom frightum, and that he is the Nation’s Father. I quite like her definitions, so I don’t try to correct her.
Recently, she expressed a desire to dress like him, and wanted me to get her a stick and a dhotar. I’ll have to do something about it over the weekend. Now, I do respect Mahatma Gandhi for all he did for our nation, but his attire left a lot to be desired. Designer clothing, it was not.
However, there is a silver lining - her focus has shifted from Salman Khan to Mahatma Gandhi. A refreshing change!
