Varanasi – the city of temples, hermits, sooth sayers, salvation seekers and a place of learning since centuries. Finds a mention in the Puraans, Upanishads and other mythological epics.

A city of Kaal Bhairav, Maa Annapoorna, Baba Vishwanath & Sankat Mochan.

A city of the Holy Ganges where a dip in its water is supposed to wash all your sins and grant salvation.

A city of Harischandra Ghat, where the great Raja Harischandra himself burnt the dead & lit pyres.

A city of Manikarnika Ghat where a pyre is always burning. The fire has never been extinguished for thousands of years. It is said that the moment the fire is extinguished, Pralay will happen.

A city where my ancestors migrated from Karnataka to attain higher knowledge and settled on the banks of Ganga; a city where my childhood was spent running in and out, bare footed, of myriad gullies and lanes, dodging bovines and their droppings.

A city that gets its name from the two tributaries of Ganga – Varuna & Assi.

The new Bull bar & the Hellas were fitted on 27th Jan, ’10. A few weeks ago I had picked up a pintle hook from Mayapuri, Delhi. This was fitted yesterday. It practically took the whole day to do the needful.

The step was removed, bumper and the inner casing were removed and two metal plates of 12mm thickness was elctrically welded to the pipe at the rear and holes drilled. After the contraption cooled down, the bumper was refitted and two neat holes were created, thus eliminating the need to cut the bumper. And the pintle hook was bolted on.

Pictures will explain..
