Krishna was bit of a cheeky boy. When he wasn’t flirting with milkmaids, he spent much of his youth trying to run off with the family butter supplies. His parents hung it higher and higher to get it out of his reach. Now the population of Mumbai marks Krishna’s Birthday (September 7) by stringing pots of curd and butter between buildings, sometimes, five storeys up and forming vertiginous human pyramids to get at them. The Flight Bureau (0845 45 66 359) is selling tickets from Scotland’s main airports to Mumbai for £379 return.
