I never liked Haridwar... Truth be told, I don't like any city build as religion as a backbone; and me being an atheist is not the reason. The so called 'Holy' cities of India, specially the Holy places, are crowded as hell (or heaven; I don't know...), And nasty enough to trigger my OCD (I'm …
I was in Garhwal once before, about 8 years ago. I stayed in Chilla, a little forest area between Haridwar and Risikesh. It was during that visit, I came to know about Auli, the "Switzerland of India". I wanted to visit Auli since, recommended it to everyone I know; but this is finally when I …

I feel fortunate... Really... With my upset stomach setting me back, I was surprised to actually make it this far... I'm writing this from Joshimath, A hamlet near Badrinath.

ইংরেজিতে একটা কথা আছে; "Wiping your Ass" এটা একেবারেই বিলিতি আদব কায়দা, কারণ আজ অবধি, বাঙালি তথা গোটা ভারতের আশি শতাংশ মানুষ Ass, Wipe করে না, Wash করে। বাঙালি সারাজীবন কব্জি ডুবিয়ে খাওয়াতে বিশ্বাসী, তাই খাওয়ার পর কব্জি থেকে কনুই অবধি লাইফবয় দিয়ে না ধুলে, গা শিরশির করে, হজমেরও গোলমাল হয়ে থাকে। আর তাই বাহ্যের …
