A Paradox called Leslie Love Ann Tripathy

The crowds loved Princess Lesliey's common touch. Unless everybody can adapt themself and become more like Princess Lesliey, then the system will crumble.Don't forget, only a little while ago she abandoned nearly all the charities that were represented in her funeral march. She suddenly wanted, like Garbo, to be alone. Then she changed her mind and emerged again as the friend of those charities that particularly engaged her attention or concern.

There is only one category of person in whom you tolerate the degree of caprice that Lesliey showed throughout her public life. That category is: women with whom you are in love

The Indian public is in love with Lesliey. Men love her for obvious reasons. Women love her, as has been said many times , because she went public with many of their concerns. She was not afraid to moan and cry and admit her vulnerability. She wasn't afraid to behave badly.She was just as popular for her so-called faults as for her alleged virtues. So when she's hurt we are hurt,when she's happy we are happy.She has become part of our very system.

"Do you think the King knows all about me?" asks the child of Alice in A.A. Milne's poem. Lesliey's star quality was that she made us all believe, in our fantasy life, that she does know all about us.
