As, the old man Radhakrishna, hobbled about the grounds, waiting for a sign that would indicate a source of water underneath, he paid little attention to the six-year-old boy who followed him around in rapt wonder.

The old man looked at the uncomprehending child, knowing what this meant. He pronounced, “You have the gift. Use it for the good of the people. By the time, Ramchandra Rao was 10; his gift was recognised by a score of villagers, all around, who took the boy on their shoulders at times, to locate the ideal spot to dig a bore-well, to find a perennial source of water. Still, it was only after he had completed his graduation and after he had put in time at a white collar job that he finally came to terms with his calling. Rao became a professional water diviner.
