Varanasi, India: As a child I could sleep any where, even with noise, songs & music or lights. In India such sleep is described as "sleeping after selling the horses". Now often I keep on turning in my bed even if it is quiet and dark. Today's images have people sleeping "after selling their horses" in the early morning bustle of Varanasi.

वाराणसी, भारतः बचपन में मैं कहीं भी सो जाता था. कितना भी शोर हो, गीत संगीत हो या रोशनी हो, जब सोता तो घोड़े बेच कर सोता. अब शाँत अँधेरे कमरे में भी कभी करवटे बदलता रहता हूँ. आज की तस्वीरों में वाराणसी के घाटों पर सुबह के कोलाहल में घोड़े बेच कर सोये कुछ लोग.

Varanasi, India: Da bambino potevo dormire ovunque, anche con rumori, canti e musica o luci. In India, il sonno profondo è descritto come "dormire dopo aver venduto i cavalli". Ora spesso resto a girare nel mio letto anche con tutta la quiete e il buio. Le immagini di oggi hanno alcune persone a Varanasi che dormono "dopo aver venduto i cavalli".

Renunciating time - Rinunciare il tempo- समय त्याग

Varanasi, India: The orange of the Sadhus' clothes signifies liberation from the world and its rules, but leaving the world is not easy. In Banaras I heard two sadhus saying "Hurry up, it is time for the prayer", so I thought that even as a sadhu you can't stop running behind the clock. Today's images have sadhus.

वाराणसी, भारतः साधू के केसरी वस्त्र का अर्थ दुनियादारी के नियमों से मुक्ति है, लेकिन दुनिया को त्यागना आसान नहीं. बनारस में दो साधुओं को कहते सुना कि "जल्दी करो, पूजा का समय हो गया" तो सोचा कि साधू बन कर भी आप को घड़ी की सूईयों के पीछे भागने से मुक्ति नहीं मिलती. आज की तस्वीरों में कुछ साधू.

Varanasi, India: L'arancione dei vestiti dei sadhu (l'asceta) significa la liberazione dal mondo e dalle sue regole, ma rinunciare al mondo non è facile. A Varanasi ho sentito due sadhu parlare, "Fai in fretta, è l'ora della preghiera" e ho pensato che anche i sadhu non possono liberarsi dalla tirannia del orologio. Le immagini di oggi hanno i sadhu.
