We go on a boat with Dymon, a "boat man" from the Meer ghat.

A Ghat is a stair that gets down on the river. On every ghat, a lot of boats are waiting to bring people on the Ganges. It costs 75 roupies (87 cents of euro) for one hour/one person. The boat men are never the owners of their boat : every ghat has a "boss" that owns every boat, and taxes the half of the takings.

Dymon is boat man since 40 years. He rows chatting, tells memories of his childhood, or some anegdotes about the Ganges side. He storys are systematically sordids.
