I said the I was not sure I get Varanasi and that still stands. I am getting used to the place a bit more but it's a tough place to get to the bottom of and I won't this time.
The place is a total one off from the smell and the cowshit everywhere to the burning bodies and the bodies just floating along the river. The worshiping side of things is a big affair and a sight to behold. Anyway a few lines won't do it justice so I will leave it at that.
An awesome coincidence :
I booked my train ticket for the Varanasi - Kolkata leg on the 29th December. I always travel during the night in 3AC. When I met Mira a few days ago it got a mention in passing that she was going to Kolkata to catch a plane to Bangkok. Oh I think it's on Monday she says.
A bit later we find that we are on the same train. And now this morning when I tell her my coach and berth number , she is in the same coach and in the berth above me. Really Weird.
We will get a taxi to the railway station in a few hours and will arrive in Kolkata at 08.30 in the morning.
