Village of Whites

I live at Goregaon. Greater Bombay. North of Andheri. Literal translation of this rather Hindi word.

`Gore' means White. `Gaon' means village.

A google search on the `village' has thrown up some interesting results. The suburb was called Pahadi ...meaning of the hills, many decades back. I live on one half-way through one such hill at the suburb. The other interesting bit is that it got a railway station as early as 1862! No signs of the ancient station exists anywhere though.
