Today, though, a "juggernaut" is generally a force beyond mortal control.

Hapless mortal: "What hit me?"

mehndi

1. Art of painting an herbal henna paste on the body in intricate designs (as the paste sets, it temporarily dyes the skin underneath a shade of orange or red). Sometimes called a "henna tattoo."
2. This guy Daler's last name.

Mehndi on children's hands is a good way to keep them out of trouble, because they can't touch anything as the paste dries.
