While Mumbai was bidding goodbye to its favourite elephant lord on a rainy Saturday evening, Nick, a British journalist who would only give us his first name, was busy shooting a documentary on Indian street kids who keep their stomachs full on food offered as prasad to the deity.

Thousands of Ganesh devotees had gathered at Girgaum Chowpatty yesterday evening to perform a final pooja to Ganesh on the seventh day of the festival. As the idols were immersed, so was all the waste material used.



The street children who come every year to the beach during Ganpati in search of good food, collect this waste.



Nick was spotted filming their 'hunt for food'. "I have been coming to India to shoot documentaries; this one is on Indian street kids. I am not authorised to disclose the name of the documentary as it is still in the making," he said.
