Dear Mausam,
"Common sense is not so common" is how a popular quote goes, every now and then we see/hear examples, which strengthen this saying, time and again.
Latest example being the sea water suddenly turing"sweet" all across Mumbai and on coasts of Gujrat .
The sea water as we all know is salty and it suddenly turning "sweet" has generated so much curiosity that people are specially thronging the dirty,muddy, garbage filled beaches to taste the miracle of God! News channels have shown people filling the dirty,muddy water in glasses and drinking it.
Scientists say that the sudden phenomenon of sea water turning "sweet" can be attributed to various factors, the one and most shocking is: because in places like mumbai a lot of sewerage is directly dumped into the sea, so that might be the reason that after mixing with the sea water, the water is not salty anymore but becomes sweet instead.
ahhgg..How nasty can that be! I don't even intend to mention what all people might have drunk. Just imagine sewerage of mumbai.
Few years back the whole of india was astonished when one fine day,Ganeshji decided to drink milk, well thatz what majority of the people started believing and there were queues in front of temples all around the country with people trying to feed the Holy diety some milk. Gallons of milk went down the drain as people kept offering it for a couple of days. The frenzy about Ganeshji drinking milk was unprecedented.
Why it happens that perfectly sensible people lose all sense of logic at times and end up doing something so much ridiculous as this.
I hope the people who drank the sweet water have enough resistance in them not to fall critically sick.
Regards,
Ajj Kaim

I dont even want to imagine what all is in that water...yuck!
Mass hysteria aint that difficult to be created.
Having said that i would also like to say that sometimes science cannot exactly explain everything.And not everytime these miracles are fake.
Thats why its all about faith :)
So wont comment on how bad the water was or how good it was.. let it b their choice who dranked it ;)
This science spoils all the awe and wonder by explaining eerything with logic...
true! why wud people do smthing this ridiculous? n yes, not everytime these miracles are fake. But i guess it has something to do with the generatiion gap as well. Say, if u put our grand parents in the same picture u wouldn't be writing this. Faith comes first to indians than science n logic.
hey PSV..jus to let u knw...after d sweet sea water thing..ganeshji drinkin milk thingie has started again...yeh :))
faith..faith n faith...blaaaah !
Yeah, I remember this happening sometime back also.. the reason was concurred to be Surface tension.
Wonder when people will get brains!!
ki pange pae ne lokan ne :P
hahahahaha....can't stop laughing.....and can't really comment strongly....coz its a religious issue for most of the indians...something plainly illogic for me can be a highly impt faith issue for others...anyways i enjoyed reading about it...thanx for the interesting blog/news...i need to be regular with indian newspaper for sure now :p
As per my opinion ,the lack of rationalism and scientific temprament make the people believe on what they see and hear.they r really unaware of all the logics..This is really unfortunate!!!!! (because of the malfunctioning of our education system)
All the more, there are well educated people in the society who inspite of being aware of the fact that there is a solid logic behind each phenomenon\change,get very much attracted by these so called 'miracles'like in this repeated case of offering the milk to the god and goddesses in the temples.
Hey, who's Mausam?
What next?
Kuch chatpata pesh kiya jaaye!
