Ethereal experience...

10th Feb 2013 I have visited Varanasi several times but this time eagerness was to the hilt. The evening Aarti at the ghat was something that i was looking forward to. From evening we waited for the Aarti at the ghat to begin, and at 6.30pm, the bells started ringing and with the sound of conch shells, the Aarti started. A magnificent view . The ghat was peopled and hundreds of camera's clicking. The flash from the bulbs and the glow of the lighted huge 'diyas' mingled together to illuminate the sky, as if to invoke the Divine. All this mirrored on the Ganges!! Heavenly!! When i looked above at the night sky on that day, I felt what i always believed. We have only one life to live, so lets live with a smile and let others smile too, for one never knows when the final call comes. We should love ourselves and create every moment with happiness, I am sure then, death will be peaceful and without any regrets.
