Bhatkyachi Bhramanti (Journey of a tramp[5]) was a weekly column by Pramod Navalkar. It ran for a record 52 years. It has found mention in Guinness World Records.[6] Kiran Tare writing in the Daily News and Analysis informs that Navalkar was writing this column when he died.[6] In this column Navalkar wrote about heads of criminal gangs, exposed gold smuggling, prostitution dens and bars. He used disguises to gain entry into exclusive brothels such as posing as an Arab to gain entry to a nude cabaret at Hotel Fariyas. Navalkar wrote free of charge.[7]
