Ganga Ghats

Yes, we did behave like tourists clicking snaps on the Har Ki Pauri, but inner calmness of Ganga flowing with all its force is simply great.

We sat there for sometime as if time had stopped and for the three of us it indeed did. It provided an opportunity for one be completely be in sync with self and it is these moments that you really keep wondering on what is that mystic power in Ganga that provides you with so much serenity.

As I wondered, I was taking back by the fact that we had been to Haridwar on an occasion for much importance – it was Budh Purnima. The place was filled with pilgrims sleeping on the banks of the river trying to get the first chance to bath in the morning. While the amenities provided to people where little one could see the calmness around as if everyone was satisfied to sleep on the little piece of plastic that was sold for ten rupees. While we made it back to the comfort of “ginger” a budget hotel nearby, it was the longing to be back at the ghats that made us wake up early and head back. Sometimes you never really understand the true charm of a place and being at the ghats of Ganga is one such experience.
