Its 'that' time of the year again.Weather must have been intoxicating like a vintage wine there.Gentle winds must have been merrily tickling the trees ,forcing them into a rustling laughter.Kindred human spirits would have joined them merrily,unperturbed from anything outside a big semi-circle.
Here,approximately 786 kms away,I heard a voice from next cubicle ."Hey,we are going for a darshan to KashiVishwanath this weekend.We have a day there.You have studied there,don't you ? Tell us what we can do there in one day."
"What can you do in Varanasi in One day ",I replied,"Let's see.There is Kashi Vishwanath Temple there.Nearby there's Dashashwamegh Ghat.Plan out to see morning and eve n i n g A a r t i t h e r e . T h e r e i s a l s o a ......" [TIMEWARP]
You can spend entire day planning to make anything, from a robot which spits fire to a mobile toilet or even a PMM1,only to abandon it. Or better,you can spend entire day validating why your I.C engine teacher doesn't deserves his wife.You have the option of joining a 'baithak' at hostel centre and criticize anyone under the sun,from mess food to George Bush,and of course, world is listening with rapt attention.Also y o u c a n..............

"Hey.....kya hua bhai ? Kahan kho gaye.Aur batao.......aur kaun kaun si places hain wahan?

If you cannot borrow your friend's bike and your cycle is way beyond repair or stolen,hire a rickshaw for Rs 10/- and take a night ride from Lanka to Hyderabad Gate.Let the whiff of fresh air fill up your nostrils,and sound of cricket your ears as you imagine what would lie on the other side of the gates of MMV.Also ,when you reach backside of VT,your rickshawalah will start complaining.Get off there itself and walk rest of the distance.Its fun.

"Knock. Knock.........Are u there ? Tu fir kho gaya ? Sab theek...."
"Oh ofcourse.....bas aise hi....."
"Tell us where we can spend the night ,where we can find decent food.We don't want to get sick."
"There are many nice hotels near Cantt. Station.Varanasi has many good resturants too.You can find almost any cuisine to your taste... [TIMEWARP]
One can find God anywhere.But one can get lipsmacking samosas and isspeshul chai for Rs 5 at only one place..Had a bad day ? Have a chai and forget it.Had an awesome day?Have a chai and celebrate it.Its not just a cure only for hunger..What about staying at ghats tonight.Just pull over one of those taqhat and lie down along with your pals.Stare into an empty dark sky,and then into the dark water.Succumb to an overpowering numbnesss You don't mind mosquitos and stray dogs.Do you? [REVERSE-TIMEWRAP]
"There you go again.......we are getting late.Just tell us what to shop for and bring back from there ?
"Really Sorry....lack of sleep I guess. Varansi is famous for sarees.Shop for them.Bargain a lot.You can also bring back......" [TIMEWARP]
Bring back some of the moments.Bring back the lure of total irresponsibility.Bring back the freedom to make mistakes and laugh at them.Bring back a place where I can roam aimlessly.Bring back the delusion of a golden world out there.Bring back the promises made......and broken...
