Flight of a little birdy

A city that was built by deconstructing something massive and learning through it, the idea itself is so fascinating to have thought about. Creation and destruction is that one thing that can be roughly called to be the basic formula to get an idea about the city. Shiva the destroyer and the creator is the symbol of their devotion and love for god. Degeneration causes emergence and that is what has happened in Banaras. Religions emerged through this degeneration, and the entire city works consistently because it believes to be one body itself.

Religion has always been a dilemma in the minds of many, for its roots haven’t been proved, some believe it to be a myth provided to the people to keep them busy, while some believe in it and it provides them satisfaction. None can be questioned over but scraping through the layers of history to find an answer to this quest will always be an ongoing process. Through the information received from the people of Banaras and certain books- Shiva is believed to be the Adi god, the first form of existence  . Before which god has no shape or form, also interesting is the fact that shape is not a form. So then where does this start from?

The trip to this city is a chance to explore within the city, within myself and also understand that what makes a city, and not any city but Varanasi! A journey of stories, stories by the people and for the people.

My journey begins with a sparrow eating the scrumps of my idli at the airport, wonder where it came from and flew off.
