  Overcast at the beach means more to some, than to others. Most people may have lost a beach day (from their vacation), but this local woman depends on tourists for her livelyhood.

  These few lines by Mark Twain say it all: "Benaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together". Hindus believe that one who is graced to die on the land of Varanasi would attain salvation and freedom from the cycle of birth and re-birth. Abode of Lord Shiva and Parvati, the origins of Varanasi are yet unknown. Ganges in Varanasi is believed to have the power to wash away the sins of mortals.

  This elderly woman was standing with her grandchildren close to the main entrance of Hagia Sofia, selling home made wallets. I was so inspired by her face that I began to stare at her, and I was frozen in space. I mean, how can her skin appear so smooth and soft-like, only displaying wisdom? At first, she was smiling at me and even if I wanted to take a picture of her I felt like it was wrong and I didn't. Then I started chatting with her in meta-english and she was so kind and friendly. I gave her some Liras and she gave me two beautiful wallets she had made.

  The variety of folk dances and songs lend vivid splashes of colour and music to the atmosphere that is already charged with excitement of the camel races and the cattle fair. The bargaining process, which involves a great deal of haggling between the camel traders and the buyers, add to the spirit of the fair. This fair attracts people not only from India but a large number of tourists from other countries as well
