Longtime back as a student of physics i was taught 'time dimension' to things. But a visit to Varanasi falsify that theory. Time stands still in Varanasi.

People here are in no hurry. Things move at its own pace be on road, at the ghats, in temples... You can find banarasis discussing state politics over pan or lassi. Choicest snack or brunch is kachori, dahi and jalebi to top up with lassi. If you visit any of the ghats galaxy of stairs welcomes you where you can spend hours watching ganga flowing. I am told one can enjoy ganga if one can save oneself from beggers, ox, sadhus and stairs.

Experienced people from administration told that even they keep a distance and interfere only if situation worsens. Otherwise banaras and its people take care of things. if there is a traffic jam volunteers erupt from nowhere and manage the show. Yours sincerely was witness to couple of such instances.

With general elections round the corner, kashi is also gearing up for an interesting fight. Veteran of a party, 'bahubali' from other while local strongman from another.

Lanes and bylanes are charasteristic of the city. And in the lanes is an entire world which is very philosophical.

One need not go to himalayas, a visit to varanasi makes one look on life in a totally different way. Another dimension. Time-less dimension.
