At Shivaji Park, volunteers are scattering rose petals on the funeral pyre. Others are sprinkling the flowers with water so that they don't wilt in the heat.
So what happens on Sundays and Sena-called bandh days in Mumbai? Gulli cricket, of course, and Thackeray's funeral is no exception. Just a few streets away from where millions follow his funeral cortege, this cricket team in Mahim are making the best of empty streets.
Thackeray would have approved; he loved the game.
