Met Blanche, the 'je suis Shweta'.
Whose more vegetarian than anyone, I know, and more yogically spiritual than I'll ever be. It feels strange to see so many foreigners in a desi garb, who seem to have such great insight into our country's ethos. An insight which we refuse to even acknowledge.
What is it that they find here, in benaras and dwell here for weeks, months when we will dismiss these places in a day?
What is it that we, they, all of us really go looking for when we go to a new place?
