An Evening @ Varanasi

          

Don't treat this as a work of fiction, this is a personal experience. :-)

"In universe every individual has something to say, something to act, something to contribute, everyone is able to make a difference, our thinking might not able to complete it but an ability to start on thinking surly make a difference"

How can i make a "Difference"

          Recently I have had a very unexpected & thrilling experience when I was at “The city of bells”, “The city of Aarti’s”, in recent era named as Varanasi, famous as Banaras, known as Kashi in ancient times, Is very well famous for “Kashi Viswanath Temple”, an old Predict about the city as only the oldest living city remains same as of from many eras. I was in city, very first time to check out some personal issues and formally one evening I visited to the famous dasaswamedh Ghat near to Kashi viswanath temple, I was sitting on stairs, looking about the poor condition of our mother river “Ganga”, People comes here to clean their all Sins, ever without thinking that their sins spread with flow of Ganga and effected many people’s directly-indirectly. After staying five to ten minute when I stood up to move back, I saw an around of fifteen to twenty foreigners (age between 6 to 40) carrying jute bags with them stepping towards the dirtiest bank of dasaswamedh Ghat, I bunged to observe about their movement, they march in the Ganga and what I see, my eyes was not ready to believe on, they just collecting dust material in their jute bags which are flowing & floating on the bank of river, after filling the jute bags they throw misuse material at their proper place i.e. in a proper “Dustbin”.

I thought to make a chat with them-:

"Hi, my name is Aryan Malhotra…from which ascent you are …?'  I asked with a formal shake hand.

             

"Namaste", "My name is Jackson, meet my wife Arrian".. He replied, "we're from France".

I shocked by their response in a truly traditional Indian style which somewhere we are forgetting about.

"Namaste" I replied, all peoples here belong to France…?

"No, Not at all, some from Germany, from Check Republic and few are from Australia and Russia" Jackson answered.

"Oh, by what time you people are here…?"

"Arian is here from last ten years, I joined her around nine year ago, almost all people are here from six to eight years".

"But as per my knowledge, foreigners roam here for one or two month vacations, this is not a long time to stay here, did you like this country, something here attracts you people to live for such a long vacation"
          

"It’s not a long time, we love this country because I and Arian meet here, she is here when I visited this place nine years back, I impressed by her dedication towards her work and from that day I decided to stay here"

"I saw you people are collecting waste material and throwing in Dustbins, very crazy thing isn’t….??"   
"You can say it’s, the only obsession we've is to clean the country by doing our part."

"It’s not an easy task for you few peoples to clean this…?"

"We try our best to come here on a daily basis dear, what can we do, we did ??"..Arian said first times.

"Are you not feeling shy about this, when our country people are commenting on the way & task you people do".

"They smiled, we are doing what we feels right, what society thinks we don’t care, if all people cleans some nearby their neighbor area, like their house, if they collect the waste material to throw at proper place, if people think twice before throwing flowers, things used for pray in water, there is no need of anyone to do this, If all people complete just only their part, it is enough to make this world a beautiful place to live, am i right..?"

"Absolutely you're right, but why you take your kids…?"

"They smiled again, because they liked this; this is only time when they learn to fight with world, learning to live different, learning to make some changes, we're not doing this to earn any money, fame from here, but we're doing this only to make this a better place, besides someone has to begin this, then why don’t us".

This is really a nice meeting with you people, i can say the first & the best evening at Varanasi, you peoples are really great, sometimes I'm thinking we're going from erection to demolition and you people are doing just vice versa, it’s really a pleasure evening for me, I learned a lot from you peoples."

"Pleased to hear, Namaste" they both replied.

"Hope we'll meet again"
          

"Oh sure, you found us here daily at 6 PM till we're in this world" they smiled and answered.

"Thanks".

P.S - "The words used in Q&A are not exactly same as of actual discussion, I just try to express the thoughts."
