Miracle mania

The sea water near Baba Maqdoom's dargah at Mahim in Bombay miraculously turns sweet! Thousands of Muslims flock to taste the 'holy water' ignoring health warnings issued by local authorities.

Three days later, in a miraculous (retaliatory?) coincidence, idols of Lord Ganesha in Hindu temples around the country remind the populace of their powers by 'drinking' milk offered to them by devotees.

...

Makes me wonder, if Ganesha was offered the sweet water from Mahim, would he drink it?

No entry

A few weeks back I was on the proverbial (in consultant-speak) beach, so I walked around Boston with a camera. I'm not much of a photographer so I thought I outdid my small self with this one here...

This is Hanover street in the North End, home to the most delectable Italian food north of Torino and the craziest post world cup party I've ever been in.
