The mystical myth about Kasi

We are going to Delhi,Jaipur,Agra,Rishikesh, and Kasi as my mom tells me i drift away, wordlessly on my own thoughts why,why India.As i walk out from the room with a sulky face and an heavy heart but i had no choice but to go.It was just a mental block whenever its call India,there so many reasons terrorism,poverty to name a few.As we are flying above the cloudy blue skies my dad says a thing or two about the places we are going to visit.The one that truly caught my attention was Kasi or its now known as Benares.
He says that ''You know Pravin you are lucky that you are coming here,its once in a lifetime oppurtnity you know in Kasi people say that its a place where you call it as a one step up to heaven,humanity and life all began and evolved here'' without really caring wat he said all i did was nod my head with a heavy sigh.As we land and carry on our tour all i did was grumble my life away at 1st well with a population of billions all i knew that i was in a country that was like sardine packed and the smell of i am nt sure what it was all i knew it wasnt a pleasant sight but as we stayed on throughout the days i started to realised or opened up my eyes,India was actually a country of everything there were full of opurtinities,rich in resources and yes people see it as the holy place in earth.
The one place of all that i really wanna go back to is rishikesh where its just simply breathakin,quiet and simply purifying.This is where the ganga river starts and joins up at up kasi, the triangle.Coming bck to Kasi if i thought i was going through a horrid time in Delhi my my Kasi was no better with its overcrowded population which is double the size of the city.Apart from that it was really an fascinating sight or even mysterious this is where there say where live of earth beings actually begin.Here you can see alots i mean alots of ghats along da river bay it was kinda freaky at first but then it was just full of questions where you just simply get an answer ,if it was meant to be a step to heaven or a place to purify sins definitly i am a lucky 1.....i guess its 1 in a lifetime oppurtunity...:)...and an eye opener to many belive's.
