    “This is home, the biggest house in town”. A place against the store fronts under the canopy of the Queen Victoria Building, an ornate late nineteenth-century shopping complex, which fills an entire city block. Warren finishes his day around 11pm and comes here, unpacks his suitcase and makes his bed from an old foldable bed pad and few layers of threadbare blankets. He empty’s his pockets and tally’s up his earnings for the day. He takes Bronx and Gypsy for one last walk around the block before they all bed down for the night. “God put me on the street for a reason”. by: ramonandhika Views[644] “It’s good for your heart, mind and soul”. “Living on the streets is brutal”, he said. In his first week, someone stole his bag containing all of his clothes, worldly possessions and photos. He lost the only physical reminders from his past life. Since then he’s been mugged, robbed and was almost killed by someone wielding a crowbar. Late one night, an unknown assailant hurled human feces and a bottle of urine. Through it all he remains hopeful. He has a good heart, a big heart, and he prays for all those faceless people rather than wasting time on himself. “I want to go to the Heaven of God where nobody is homeless, no rich or poor people, where everybody is happy and everyone is equal”. by: ramonandhika Views[741] “He is not jobless, but he is homeless”. Around ten each morning Warren makes his way to Pitt Street Mall, moving to the same place he sat the day before. He begins his daily ritual of setting up shop. Around three he packs his stuff up, stows it in a safe spot before taking his dogs for a walk in Sydney’s Hyde Park. After, he retrieves his belongings and sets up in another place down on George Street. by: ramonandhika Views[700] “They gave me back my reason to live”. That’s the love Warren has for a pair of Jack Russells, Bronx and Gypsy. He became their dad when a mate upped and moved to Queensland a couple of months back. It was the day after he’d tried to end it. He’d stood at the curb of a pedestrian crossing on George Street waiting for the very moment before a bus would pass by. He lifted his foot to take the step but a woman pulled him back by his red rucksack and saved his life. It wasn’t his first attempt. The burden of living hand to mouth on the streets is a heavy one. He’s quite optimistic now, “I was saved for a reason”. by: ramonandhika Views[692] “An untold story on the streets of Sydney”. Sydney Australia, like any metropolis has its cracks and crevices. Hidden in behind and in between the passers-by, I happened upon Warren. He’s 56 and for the past two years he’s been living on the pockmarked inner city streets. Life was once good he tells me; an opal miner who moved into construction only to have his business partner stab him in the back leaving him with a debt to the bank for over six figures. by: ramonandhika Views[714]
     
    A saint who stood still at the same place even till I left.He was definitely thinking something I thought to ask but it seemed like I would interrupt him in the midst of his divine thoughts may be he is observing the ways of life or possibly hoping for the better future of Varanasi. Anyways once you choose hope, anything is possible. by: shivarajvanshi Views[285] The Ganga which is considered as the most sacred river of india with an ironical fact that it was ranked as the 5th most polluted river in the world in 2007.A river which not only has religious importance but also serves as a lifeline for millions of indians who live along its course and depend on it for their daily needs.The dead Animal carcass floating in the river is like a wound in our heart for the fact that this is the water we drink. by: shivarajvanshi Views[448] In Hindu traditions, cremation is one of the rites of passage and the Ghats of Varanasi are considered one of the auspicious locations for this ritual. This is one of the cremation ghats which reflects the fact that death is the destination we all share.About an average of 80 bodies per day are cremated on various Varanasi Ghats; This practice has become controversial for the pollution it causes to the river. In many cases, the cremation is done elsewhere and only the ashes are dispersed into the river near these Ghats. by: shivarajvanshi Views[807] Varanasi city has nearly 100 ghats(riverfront steps leading to the bank of river).Most of the Ghats are bathing and puja ceremony ghats,while a few are used exclusively as cremation sites.This is Kedar Ghat which is used as a bathing and puja ceremony ghat.Where one can observe the vibrant elements of human characteristics and their believes on almighty. by: shivarajvanshi Views[349] Varanasi also known as Kashi, is an Indian city on the banks of river Ganga. The Ganga is considered as the holiest river in India with massive spiritual, religious and ritual significance.It is believed that death at Varanasi brings salvation. It attracts about 3 million domestic and 200,000 foreign tourists annually. by: shivarajvanshi Views[500]
