Collecting Laminated Pictures Of Lord Kashi Vishwanath In Varanasi
As i collected laminated pictures of Lord Kashi Vishwanath on two different occasions, the different visits to Kashi Vishwanath Temple was the best part of my stay in the city of Varanasi. Staying at two different locales (two different guest houses) with enough resounding tales, the occasional chat with Buddhist monks, some of whom hailing from Hubbali in Karnataka State, who had no hesitation to show their gait. The stay provided me an opportunity to witness semblance of order in the temple and its precincts with a large number of people offering milk, water and garlands to Lord Shiva and these very devotees showing no signs of being tense. The very fact that i came to know that Ramewaram-Varanasi train was very much in the running taking three days to cover the distance and earn much deserved fame.
Conversations In Varanasi; Brooding Over Germany; Tensions In The Middle East
As resident Mr P Sanyal put it Bengalis have been Staying in Varanasi for the past 300 years and these very centuries have made them bold even in a weather that was very cold. Blessed were those who had a hamlet to live and indulgences that did not make them crib and engage in an endeavour that was largely temple centric amidst varied weather including midwinter blip. As Mr S S Singh who made it a point to take a dip in River Ganga and mark his attendance in Temple each day for the past 32 years with none of the accompaniments that could be termed as fears. Meeting German Guy Mr Ristoff who was visiting after a long interval, this was his third visit to Varanasi in as many decades coming from a nation where none played a game called Cricket. A pro photographer Mr Ristoff may be crazy for soccer with Germany having among its arsenal football clubs like Arsenal F C and Real Madrid in a nation where weather occasionally turned torrid. Among players that often one saw making appearance were Julian and Gundogan who could be penalised if they could do any wrong. I was more interested to dangle the political colour of Germany a nation where most cared for every penny. Perhaps the tenure of a Chancellor as i could recollect from Helmut Kohl Days was seven years and no less in a nation where some were alarmed by working hours stress. The number of migrants to German cities would be alarming and at the same time the stress in the Middle East would show no signs of abating. The Iran-US tussle with the US pinning down Iranian Major General Soleimani showed Washington was at fault and it may have to face consequences even in areas where there is drought. Like Berlin, Washington too needs to up its security paraphernalia as it has irked a Middle East Nation that has huge oil reserves in its area. Tehran is strong and would continue to remain so the oil reserves would make it glow. More than five years ago while returning from Mumbai at Delhi Airport Waiting Lounge i came across a guy from Iran who was pursuing a course in Banaras Hindu University (BHU) and perhaps sharing space with people who came from a State in India called Assam.
As for Ristoff the travelling aficionado, this German Gentleman had made innumerable visits to China and Vietnam where some had learnt the art of spelling the future by reading the palm. From Frankfurt to Bonn, Mr Ristoff came from a city called Cologne. Mr Ristofff was carrying a huge camera which he placed on the table while visiting SHREE Cafe Restaurant in Varanasi a city where people attended to their chores and largely remained busy. As for meeting the Italian Couple in the same restaurant Berlusconi at the helm in the 90s was something to chew over in a nation where people drove Land Rover.
Sankatmochan Odyssey; Places Visited in South India
The Sankatmochan Odyssey could not be a success as doors were shut and Lord Hanuman was omnipresent and people who revered him were in a flow as large as Glut. I may have to Visit Varanasi again to pay obeisance at Sankatmochan temple where post visit the devotees are sanguine and not hopple. As for the Hyderabad Guy Mr Vamshi whom i met at Varanasi Airport, the deliberations centred around different temples and places that i had visited in South India including Tirumala, Rameswaram, Kanniyakumari, Kancheepuram, Coimbatore, Bengaluru, Hampi, Madurai, Chennai, Secundarabad and Udhagamandalam. He suggested a huge Lord Ganesh Temple in Kanipakam in the South which i should try to visit some day. The people by and large were more civilised in South India and this was a remarkable feat in a nation where summers had enough enduring heat.
As for Vistara the inflight magazine in its January issue had a story on Vistara's five sensational years starting with two aircraft between three cities it was now 41 aircraft at its disposal flying to 34 cities in India and overseas. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my warm greetings to Ms Lorna and her daughter Ms Grace hailing from Wales in UK whom i met at the Varanasi airport. I would also like to extend Good Wishes to Queen Elizabeth II of Britain and her family members.
As for the newspaper of the day with the ad on We Are One First mirrors the urgent need to protect constitutional values. There was another story on envoys from 15 nations visiting J-K a state with airports that have a parking bay. As for the JNU violence it was unprecedented and it was all stage managed with arsonists enjoying the right wing party's support and students in the melee were left to fend for themselves. People from varied fields including Hindi Film Industry visiting JNU should be welcomed by one and all as they showed solidarity with students who were in the firing line on Sunday with no fault.
As for New York Times which carried a story on Ukrainian flight being hit over Iran is something that is highly unfortunate and it is time tensions in the Middle East Ebb. Fires in Meroo National Park in Australia as reported in New York Times is something to ponder over and when they would abate is hard to guess. Sooner they are tamed the better it would be.
