Started the day at 0430 hours n was not too well on 12th
January, They say Goddess Ganges has to call you to be able to visit the
Sagar on 14th January maybe I was not going to be lucky this year
either, so here I was I cancelled the trip, but the photography bug
kept biting me, n I was off at 1600 hours for Kolkata, 250 km away,
Reached an hour late to my home in Kolkata and next day
morning with medicine for fever stuffed in me, I was off on 13th
morning a 3 hours train ride, followed by 2 hours boat ride across sunder bans,
I was at Gangasagar
I was one of the 5,00,000 ( five lacks ) that reached the site that day and
14th was amazing , had a great time photographing at the Ganjes
And it was an amazing site, yes it was lovely to see some amazing
folks, and what was so amazing is none of the people seemed stressed at the Confluence
of Ganges and Indian Ocean,
Another interesting factor was, most seemed to be poor people who were
at the Sagar, all happy and laughing and living in the moment, maybe I met five
people who were affluent, the rest all patient and amiable, how very amazing
and makes one wonder the relationship with money and moksha
