It was early morning. The sun didn't rise yet. The sky was dark. The atmosphere was foggy. It was 4 in the morning.
If it were some other city then there'd have been pin drop silence but as I've observed "Ye to Banaras hai , yaha ki reet hi alag hai" ; here people were already up and heading for their Morning rituals.
Some Tea stalls were already occupied by people around. I was a little bit of sleepy but I had to be ready for the day ahead of me.
Quickly I took a shower and got ready.
I choose a sky blue kurta with white print on it and a plain white Palazzo with it , wore the same silver jhumkas , tied my hairs in a ponytail and finshed my look with a lip balm.
And then finally I headed out of my room. Yesterday was a terrible experience for me but as said "life and death are uncertain" so I had to get out of that mindset of yesterday and focus on today.
I waited outside the hotel for a few minutes with Shiv and then the three musketeers of mine were here so we headed out.

"So where are we going today?"
Asked Sania who was damn excited
"Tulsi ghat"
Replied Shiv

All the 3 of them knew that in my mind I'd many indifferences with Lord Ram just because he left Sita ji just because of a Dhobi. And so the 3 of them were a bit tensed and looked at my to check my reaction. But I on the other hand was enjoying that morning breeze. It was so soothing. Truly felt by me "Banaras ki hawa Mai Nasha sa hai".

We finally reached the Tulsi ghat.
The sun had risen.
The view was really touching my heart.

A faint sound of music playing Shree Ram Chandra Kripalu Bhajman..
I felt losing my hatred towards lord Ram with the notes of the music touching my ears. I felt my anger washing away.
My mind felt calm....

This song felt so soothing in my ears.
I lost all my sense and was just hooked onto this song.

"Isse Tulsi ghat kyu Bolte hai , paata hai?"
Asked Shiv

"General knowledge Baad Mai, do you even know we are in a deadline, time pe music bhi to we got to make and since 3 days we are just roaming around"
Sophie said furiously

"Feel it before you make it"
Shiv replied calmly

"Tulsidas wrote Ramcharitmanas while living here and that is why it's known as Tulsi ghat"
I said which shocked all the 3 of my friends.

"You know about lord Ram?"
Asked Sam

"I sure do"
I said calmly

Today was the day when I finally understood the importance of lord Ram and the impact he made in our lives.
Just because of one deed, a man's character cannot be judged and questioned is what I learned.
He was such a great human being.
Even after death Ram's name is taken
"Ram Naam Satya hai".
The golden ruling period is said to be "Ramrajya".

One thing I realised was that he did not abandon Sita he was made to do so in order to maintain the balance of his kingdom and that is why he is called "Maryadapurshotam".
While lord Krishna believed in the concept of tit for tat as in the evil deserved evil and good deserves the good that is why we know him as "Purnapurshotam".

Anyways, this place is in my heart from now on. The peace I'm feeling now can't be expressed in words....
