The Cycles of Life
The first time Afrika and I went to Varanasi I chose a room north of Assi Ghat. It took three days to find it, trudging around under the hot sun because I refused to stay in a touristy guest house. Nothing new, it was my modus operandi: get a temporary room until I found the perfect one, especially when I wanted to settle down for a couple of weeks. Since real estate searches provided an opportunity to become acquainted with the surroundings, by the time I found it I already knew a few shortcuts, local beggars and shopkeepers, and felt at home.
