that's amazing as i find. you can be a bad person all your life and then you just land here and wait till it is over and then all your sins- or however they call it here- will be finsihed.
thats pritty cool.

today there are a lot of funerals. did not count them, just sat in the lassi store and saw all teh bodies being carried on a wooden board down the pathway to the ganges.
dead bodies will be burned here. in front of the ganges. on huge pile of wooden sticks, accompanied with a lot of people, relatives and tourists. first they walk through varanasi, a specific route, along the lassi store, and then down to the ganges. they settle the body, covered with golden and orange textiles, on the big pile of wood and then burn it.
there are a lot of rituals in between, they must. i did not see them. went there but left quickly, was suppossed to see a friend.
i am sorry.

i am at the moment a bit surrounded by it. it makes me speechless, seems like the only way is to stop talking about it and honour.
