Maurice,

That is funny. However, Bombayites or Mumbaikars would have referred to "the waters in Mahim Creek"

You can say that the same about any of the "races". Recently, I read on a Yahoo link, that researchers who were doing DNA studies on families, discovered that significant percentage of the legal "fathers" were not the genetic "fathers". Surprise, surprise! There are so many of us claiming that our ancestors were Indian or European or Christian or Muslim, and we might just discover that they might well be from somewhere else. Where will our sense of self go?

In Salman Rushdie's "Midnight's Children", the protagonist describes for half the book how many of his physical and other features were so characteristic of his family and ancestors, only to discover that he was switched at birth.
