Varanasi Chai Stop – Poet’s corner

The epicentre of Campaign 2014, Varanasi, is finally catching its breath as politicians, party workers and journalists leave. As the city waits for the big day on Friday, the song and shayari that has always been organic to its culture has displaced the noise of electioneering. Our very last Chai Stop is from the Assi Ghat where some of Varanasi’s most loved writers help us come to a poetic end.
