When I woke up this morning, to reports of the saline sea-water turning sweet at Mahim, just behind the dargah of Haji Makhdum Baba and just a few hundred metres from the Bandra influent-effluent pumping station, the first thought in my mind was that the people who were flocking to the sea-shore to partake the ‘miraculous’ water might as well dip a glass in the commode at their homes and gulp down that water!

That way they would get water thats closer in taste and quality to the Mahim sea-water without leaving their homes and without getting sand in their shoes and on their clothes!

People dump colas because of miniscule pesticide quantities and yet gulp down sea-water that looks, smells and tastes like shit… literally!!… not to mention chemicals and sewage!! It happens only in India! ;)
