Like all great warriors, the Brahmaputra has a stunning sunset too. As he gets closer to sea he sees another river winding towards him - The Ganges. She is the lifeline of India and the fount of salvation. Ganga calls out joyously, “Brahmaputra! We finally meet! The mountains did foresee our paths!”.
Then it dawns on him - the Himalayas had told him of a sister, born in the same house, who had chosen a different path. The siblings mingle with each other, and together they break into thousands rivulets - one for every memory lived. In one large green delta the two, together, become the river ‘Meghna’ and merge with the sea.
