Most wonderful experience
As an aspiring writer myself, it was an interesting visit for me from the get-go. To be an influencer back in the day and creating so much work is no easy feat. Thankyou for this wonderful introduction.
Beautiful spontaneous poetry
The highlight of all was the haveli of Bhartendu Harishchandra, renowned poet/laureate of Hindi Literature and reformer during the times of the Raj.
I very, very highly recommend this trip down the lanes of Varanasi, especially with Roobaroo, to each and every visitor to the city…
Apart from the food, the discussion from his life was very enlightening. An unknown part of modern India.
