Despite the funky smells wafting through the air, the filth around the river, the sangam in Allahabad where the Ganga, Yamuna and the mythic Saraswati meet is one of those rare places - there's something in the air that enchants you. Having grown up in this charismatic city, devouring the tangy chats while the cool breeze of the sangam blows into your face was a ritual almost every other evening. This place has made me appreciate and enjoy the little joys of life. The fun-loving people, the heritage and the food is what makes Allahabad such an alluring city.
