You dont know?

check this....

In a wave of credulousness that Mumbai hasn't witnessed since Ganesh idols 'drank' milk 10 years ago, thousands thronged to the Mahim creek to drink the normally filthy coastal water believing that it was holy.

On Friday night after local fishermen washed their hands in a stream off the Mahim bay after namaaz and allegedly found that the water was sweet, word began to spread about the 'miracle'.

Locals began to call relatives urging them to come and witness " Allah's karishma " and within an hour the television cameras had descended.

By midnight there was mayhem. The miracle-tales were further stoked by the fact that the 'happening' had occurred in the vicinity of the old Mahim Dargah, which has a loyal following among people of all faiths.

All through Saturday, families from as far away as Biwandi and Kalyan pushed their way through the packed streets to reach the sea-front, where the magical water or 'manna' was eagerly collected in bottles.

Some scooped up handfuls are drank it on the spot while others dipped themselves in the creek to wash away their sins.

They were unmindful of the health hazards posed by the untreated water or by the fact that the Mahim beachfront is known to be one of the most polluted in the world...
