It was 1994, For the first time we, the young Turks were celebrating the foundation day ,We were dancing all over the places, and next day (classes were cancelled),when I got up it was evening ,I just walked through Ganesh guri ,where I saw hundreds of people queuing up in the Ganseh Temple
‘What’s up pal?’
I asked a friend
‘Doesn’t U know Lord Ganesha is drinking milk and all of then is queuing up for it only?’
I was asleep just for few hours and everything was happening for that time.
Some one observed the phenomenon in morning, and soon the word propelled like bone fire and the whole nation was witnessing the event to the utter amusement.
Soon the news spread that the whole Shiva family is drinking milk,
Milk was seen flowing through the Drains like anything.
