This journey started with preconception of what this city actually knows about death.
I carried a newly bought didgeridoo, more for the showoff even more for being connected. For a hymn to be blown through this woody hollowed body, with alcohol running in veins to paint this inner rough surface, with these faltering feet and shinning eyes, I landed on a vibrant concrete port in city.
A visionary is there beyond the horizon, but start of a journey should have a solid base, adherent to the ground. After all we are living in an over-conscious era, where preparation is given more importance than instinctual performance. So I adjusted myself and carried on.

City had scattered hue of different colors, intense, somewhere saturated also, making a formulation throughout the road. Colors dance on the walls, pillars and doors of the houses freely everywhere intermingle with a restful white throat-colder in forms of thandai that lead to a release of memories.
