Walk on Phadke road on a sunday evening (Best on Diwali morning). On Diwali mornings you will find an ants space here. It is so crowded that you would think of it as some morcha...every bylane also will be crowded. Girls and Boys would be there in their best attire... Now they ahve also started some DJ/Dance program. Youth of all ages come over here...and they come from places... Though you would think that moving in the rush is irritating...its a fun in itself...as you would end up suddenly meeting a long last childhood school friend
