The last night of this trip, which will actually end tomorrow, is so sad that I was thinking about how to spend it. It was a little childish, but I decided to float it like last time. I will explain it again, but Dia is a flower plant that floats on the Ganges River to make a wish. However, even such a small ceremony is not easy in India.
First, since the Diamanger asked for an absurd amount of 200 rupees, after buying Dia, a fake monk came up to me and held my hand and prayed for me, asking for 100 rupees. But by this time, the price of India has become accustomed, so I bought a candle for 10 rupees, and gave the fake monk a gift with a raised middle finger instead of 100 rupees.
It is not easy to make a wish.
The funny thing is that two years ago and now, I bought these candles and floated them in the river and made a wish very seriously.
Strangely, I do this when I come to Varanasi, as I am not religious.
And just like before playing the lottery, I think seriously about what wish I will make for a long time before I float the dia in the river.
As I watched Dia illuminating the dark Ganges River, all the moments of my travels flashed through my head like a lantern.

Another trip to India that seemed like a dream has come to an end. When I go home, will I miss India so much that I want to come back like the last time? When will I ever be able to get away with it again and go on a trip?
At the age of 24, the first trip I took recklessly during my wandering days dominated the first half of my twenties.
And I can't say that this second trip changed me a lot.
But one thing is clear, I feel a little different from before.
I bumped into the wide world, met people, and felt free from within the framework I made. It relieved the pressure that had been bothering me tenaciously and made me feel relaxed.
