Your Next Weekend at Lonely Vanishing Beach Chandipur

There were no traces of any sea, not even a single drop of water. I asked a passer-by fisherman about the location of the sea. He said "Vanished".Suddenly, I noticed waves, then which were far away from us. As time grows, I saw a full-fledged sea in front of me. I witnessed the moment, how a completely dried out beach transformed into a sea.

Bong Blogger | List of Ghats in Varanasi

"Kashi Ke Kankar Mein Shiva Shankar" the literal meaning is Lord Shiva is in every pebble of Kashi. Yes, some extent it is true. But as you walk you will find important Mosques and Sufi Shrines there, these are also significant parts of Varanasi or Benaras ,making it an important Islamic city as well even it is known as a Hindu City. I have been there for only 2/3 days and it was impossible for me to explore the true colours of the city. Although, I have tried so much, at least to touch those important places. Among everything, the most important are Ghats (Embankment of on the riverfront) on the river bank of Varanasi. It is indeed a fascinating and charming city. The city is special for all, but I feel like, especially for Bengalis and there are many reasons for that but among them, one reason is a connection of Satyajit Ray's Film "Joi Baba Felunath" and Varanasi. The film had been shot extensively in Varanasi and the impressions are so deep into the minds of Bengalis. When I was

Trekking under heavy snow condition itself a challenge and preparing the list of things to carry for the trek is also a challenging and tedious job.
