The Adventures of Bindi Girl: (2012)
“I cleared the Osho trip from my head, happily munching bananas and frolicking along the shore. Perhaps of all places I’ve been in India, I have felt the most peaceful on the beach. No big surprise. Mental note to self: I am a beach bum, a California Girl. And, in spite of a desire to laze away the days, I’ve got this thing inside that feels so “western” and so “old-me” programming. Whenever I’m ultra-cozy and truly comfy, it’s, “Uh-oh! Time to uproot myself lest I get stuck here in this hut, th...is hammock, this haven! India isn’t about complacency! I’m here to learn, not to veg out!”
Okay—the beach was starting to get a little boring, too.
So, on the spur of the moment—my travel M.O.—I decided to catch a train up north to Uttar Pradesh, winging it on getting tickets to Varanasi, the most holy city in Hindu India, without reservation. Shivaratri, the high festival celebrating the God of Creation and Destruction himself, was coming up soon, and I’d met a pair of Israeli guys, fresh out of the army, who were going to hop on whatever train they could squeeze into—a potentially hellish three-day, third-class journey—in order to make it to Varanasi in time for the celebrations.MoreLess
