It was the night of Ganesh Visarjan. We had been to the Borivali Biriyani House for a sumptous feast of Paya soup, Kheema Pav, Reshmi Tikka and Mutton Biriyani. It was fun. On our way back our car slowed down to let a crowd of devotees pass, when suddenly we saw two men getting into a brawl. One of them was driving a white car and the other was a drunk devotee. Both young men. The drunk devotee kept attacking the other guy only to be joined by a few more men who were not even aware of what was happening. My friends got off the car and somehow managed to push the guy into the car asking him to leave the place. By then that young man was drained out. He was badly shaken. His spectacles were also lost in the brawl. We sat back into our cars and left too. Our car was ahead and we could see the other car leaving too. I turned back and saw that once our car gathered a little motion they stopped the white car again. We stopped too and rushed back to them. Made them leave the place again but this time waited to let them go a little distance. It was bad. It's true, times have changed. Today to bring out devotion some devotees have to resort to means like alcohol.
