Benares: The city of Temple

One thing which I don't want to forget in my life is - my stay in Kashi - the city of Lord Shiva, the city of temple. This City has given me a lot. I feel this city has given a lot to all who come here with right intension. The ghats, the temples, the universities...beautiful combination. I studied in Banaras Hindu University. One of the largest university in the world. Reachable for every one who are good at study. For my graduation I hardly paid any money but the kind of facilities it has, is amazing. All the hostels in the university are almost 90+ year old, they are very big. The facilities in the university is unparallel and reachable for everyone. The shape of the university is like a "geometrical protector". All the roads are parallel to each other. On one road you can find Hostels, while on other roads you would find departments.

BHU has given prominent leaders in various fields. As a student It is difficult to forget those days in BHU.

The ghats of the river Ganges is amazing. You can spend hours and hours very easily. The environment at ghat is spritual, You will feel that you are connected to oneself. In early morning you can see the divine sunrise at Assi ghat. Specially the tea of Raju bahiya at Assi ghat.

There are various thing to remember for example puri- jalebi at chachi's small shop near Lanka, Pehlwaan ki lassi. In campus Bihari's gulab jamoon ( near VT) and of course "lanketing" ( All who stayed at Benares knows very much what is the meaning of Lanketing :) ).

I have spent 6 golden years of my life and Benares. In this period I have came across some very good human beings who have impacted my life in bigger way.

Today I miss the Ghats, the Temple and the rive Ganges very much. I want to return to this place but I don't know when I will do so...

N-Deal: What is happening?

Very sad to know that our great politicians are creating the problem in the name of country's integrity & sovereignty. Have they really understand the deal or they are just creating problem. In my view they are just creating problem. I don't think the left wing of our country are serious about strategic relationship between US & India. They are worrying about their vote bank..that's all.

Have we really understand who are friends and who are foes in international politics. I don't think so. Still we have not very good relationship with our great neighbours, we have already "back stabbed" by them in past. and at present they are "big threat" for us.

By seeing the couple of recent events in our country, I would say we need to rethink that whether our political system's structure is correct. Because the kind of MPs who are going to parliament are of no use. They are more interested in their vote banks rather than country. They are dividing us on the basis of caste, religion for their personal gain.


We need open debate on this across the country. We have to change the face of our political system so that we can send right set people to the parliament. Otherwise we will be paying "big" penalty for this in near future.
