varanasi 

i have been in the holy city of varanasi for two days. at sunrise, i took a boat ride on the gange and watched people taking their ritual baths before praying and a few bodies being cremated. the backdrop of the old city with the light of the sunrise was spectaculor. the boat is also peaceful as it is far away from the usual tourist annoyances... chai? lady come here. what is your country? etc... i'm not doing much here, walking around, sitting, having tea. slowly recovering from a few body illnesses... still got an eye patch - which makes me look like a freaky pirate - or 'green mumba'...
btw - the pictures below are from my stay in kachchh, from when the girls decided to dress me up in traditional dress... much fun.
