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...
