Mother Ganga

There were only life, purity and goddness.

"Benares is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together."

---Mark Twain

I heard you calling me.

I still vividly remember when my history teacher introduced us the story of taj mahal in high school. The story completely stole my heart and since then I'd dreamed of India for a long time but somehow always seeking for the right moment to visit there. Then this summer, I heard India calling me.

August 19 2010, late evening, I tenderly stepped my first foot in New Delhi.

Dust, noise, smell and just a crowd of people. Those are what struck me most in India.

And you know what. I miss them so much.

By the way I discovered my fav in India; Saunf.

I fell in love with the taste of exotica:).
