I remember a saying of the great monk "SWAMI VIVEKANANDA"..thus "Where are you looking for GOD?"They are just standing before you.GOD never exist in mosque,mandir and church it is within oneself.
and yet if you have to thank that God you will go to an idol who you created with your won hands ? After you have seen and acknoweldged the mercy of that God in your real life ?

When my daughter invited me to spend the retired life with her in PUNE. I hesitated a lot. Even though it is known as Retiree's Paradise I did have my own reservation. During Ganesh Chadurthi I inadvertently came in front of a procession carrying idols of Lord Ganesh. Reversing back to an alternate road was a difficult option. The people in the procession, seeing an elderly man in the steering, made way for the smooth crossover of not one but four idol carrying groups. I just imagined what would have happened if it was an occasion in Eastern part of India where I spent considerable period. It would have been a nightmare.
Culture known as Indian is still practiced in and around Pune
It depends on place. There are lots of horror stories of people seeking help in places like Bengalore. You might be abused, or assaulted depending on the preference of the local and language you spoke.
The same like situation people will face but these mumbaikars can take pleasure of this but once they get back to their city and the same guy with whom he shared the number who will get the answer that abhishek either doesnt recognise or he will be out of station sitting inside the room.
It looks like you are typical city boy never faced any difficulties in you life . There are people in this country walking for miles for their lively hood. Please learn to welcome hard ships. There are good people in this country and they have more time than the people who want to light only candles when terrosits attck and kill their neighbours.
buddy, chances of finding people like these in any place are close to none and we must say, u've met those in an unknown place... if we all were like above mentioned stangers, life wud be a lot simpler and fun.
