Author's POV

A sunny day in the city of Kashi. The oldest city. People are awake even before the sun rise. There is a calm silence near the ghats. people are coming to see the sunrise from the ghat. Whispers of Mahadev can be heard from the priests preparing for the famous ghat aarti.

Naina, who lives near the ghat woke up to see the aarti today and took the blessing of her Mahadev before starting her journey for her dreams. Her mom and brother are still sleeping as yesterday they helped her to pack for her journey. As she left her bed her son Jugnu a one year old shitzu came licking her paws. As usual he wake up with Naina only as he cannot left her at anytime.

She kissed his face and got into the washroom to get ready to visit the temple. She is blessed with natural beauty, have a fair complexion with pitch black eyes and long hairs.

As she is going to visit temple she decides to wear suit and got ready.

Quietly she kissed jugnu and left her home after locking it. The ghat is very near from her house as they are natives of kashi and her grandparents build their house.

She feels blessed to able to live near ganga maa.

As she proceeds towards ghat she sees the head purohit of the temple. They are very close and they know each other personally.

She bend forward to take his blessings.

BE HAPPY, NAINA... the purohit blessed her.

Ohh, badhai ho beta aise hi aage badhte rho bhagwan tumhe humesha kush rkhe aur tarakki de Purohit Ji blessed her lovingly.

He has seen her from her childhood and knows her struggle.

Purohit Ji smiled seeing her retreating figure.
