Memories of Varanasi

Memories of Varanasi - My memories of Varanasiaren't of its over-crowded nature, animals rampaging through the streets, funeral pires, people bathing in the Ganga, the various Hindu temples or any of the "spiritualism" of the place - because frankly it's all a bit hard to discern amidst a sea of crooks and touts - it is the thousands of children flying kites from their roof-tops in the evening. It ranks among one of the most magical sights I have ever witnessed.
