The Open Air Horse Laterine
Imagine a beach that has more horse pee than sea water
Imagine a beach that has more horse dung than sand
Imagine a beach infested with masseurs who vend various nefarious services other than a massage
Imagine a beach lined with food stalls that sell, besides snacks, some rare strains of cholera, jaundice and associated food poisonings.
Now stop imagining and go find it all in real. Welcome to Juhu Beach, Mumbai!!
Juhu beach, is not a beach.. it should be renamed 'Juhu Open Air Horse Laterine' what with all those horse driven carriages that joyous and excitable tourists insist on taking a ride on to derive some kind of thrills.
It is easily the world's worst water front and I feel sick everytime I have walked on it. And that people still want to go there baffles me beyond imagination.

Great post...as usual :)
But Juhu has real tough competition from Dadar Chowpatty. Actually the government could allot that land for slum rehab! "ALL UNEMPLOYED 'CITIZENS' OF THE COUNTRY...WELCOME TO MUMBAI!" Think about a 'sea-facing' shanty, man!
Hi,
Are you the same guy who writes in mouthshut site with the nick 'premjit'?
Yoo-Hooo......
That's Mumbai beaches for us!..\m/
:D
maybe they have no where else to go?
I suppose I can stop being sorry for never having ever been to the Juhu beach. Its happening elsewhere too.
I hate to say this but i think the Govt should closee off all these beaches and make people pay for visiting them. I can see no other option..
