    The elderly sit on the front porches of the houses or common verandah's to discuss various topics like the rising food prices, falling values in politics, insubordinate & disrespectful youth etc. Views[657] Many elderly people from across India go to Varanasi and spend their last days and wait for death to arrive. It is not an exaggeration to say that almost half a million of such people reside in this oldest & holiest of cities for Hindus in India. Views[814] At least once in a life time, visit Varanasi and take a holy dip in the river Ganges - this is what a typical Hindu believes in India. Especially, the elderly wait for an opportunity to visit Varanasi, irrespective of their old age, health condition, financial situation etc. Views[558] It is not uncommon to find a widowed elderly woman on the ghats of Varanasi. Most of them find a place at old age homes in the city or earn their livelihood by selling 'chai' (tea) and just live by the ghats under a temporarily arranged hut. Views[597] It is easy to get lost in the narrow alleys of the ancient maze like city of Varanasi and one often finds a kind smiling gentleman who patiently explains the way to reach a place.
