Agreed! Throwing the dead body started mainly because people couldn't afford the costs of the final rituals on one hand and on the other hand, couldn't break the promises that they had made to their deceased relatives that their final cremation would be done in Varanasi. Atleast cremation and final rituals should be made available to people who desire that in an affordable way by the government, by constructing the necessary infrastructure for the same. Belief systems are something that cannot be changed and it is only the duty of an efficient government to accommodate the belief systems into their quest for modernity.

Can't wait to see those neem(they do look like neem) trees grown to their full heights. What a sight and experience would that be then to be there!

The beaches are awesome but I wish that we could do the same for our two rivers .
Anyway , getting back on topic , I think it would be a terrific idea to have murals line the walkway .Once the trees grow , it will look spectacular .
Going off topic again , monsoons have really picked up now . Ahmedabad received over 100 mm in the last two days and I see the max yesterday was only 26C !
