The oldest city on our planet, Varanasi

I wanted to come to this city since I could function as a thinking human being. It was not the holiness or the temples that attracted me; it was the beautiful sunsets, the boats, a long row of old buildings, and above all cremations on the bank of the river Ganges. It is a holy city that has a history of inspiring religious tales and horrible religious atrocities. My two days in the city are a kind of disappointment because it has been raining for last many days, and the cloud cover is not letting any type of good photography to take place. Still I would say that Varanasi is a magical place, huge river flowing through the city, many Ghats, boats moving in every direction and of course the stenge of burning human flesh.
