Nighoj potholes (कुंड)

Last Sunday we went to Juhu beach. Not because we like this place but for something unusual that has happened here recently.

Planning to enter our house ?
Well, what will you do when you wake up one morning, only to see a huge ship coming at your doorstep?

“Hi, why don’t you come over to Belgian side of the bar”. I overheard this sentence a few years back in a small town. Was the speaker joking? His tone was serious enough.
For quite sometime I have been trying to come up with a way to explain this weird town on this earth which I visited a few years back. It is something like ‘a child belonging to two mothers’. And none of them is a step mother.
