yes it does happens sometimes too. Like in case of padawal vegetable. If you know
what I mean. All Non marathis' please excuse me. No offence. But I don't know that
english name for that thing.

There is no city/town  that I know of by this name or similar sounding name. But
what I do know is that  the fact that you have Parle company's Biscut factory
there might have somethign to do with the name. Remeber Parle ? of Ramesh chauhan
/ Thums Up ?

What you are saying is right. Quiet possible. I am not born mumbaikar  anyway.
