I was born and raised in Calicut, a city located in the southwestern coast of Indian subcontinent. I am an extremely introverted individual who tends to shy away from social situations. I enjoy solitude. I enjoy walking alone. And during these walks, I would often encounter sceneries that fascinate me. On one such occasion, I stumbled upon this beautiful beach, which is not that far from my household. My hometown. Since I went there during the hours of sunset, I had the opportunity to witness one of the most beautiful and serene scenery that I ever had the pleasure of encountering. It was almost magical. The sun had almost disappeared and the clouds were painted red and the sea perfectly fit into the background. It was almost like as if the nature painted a picture and left it hanging there so that all of us could see. So I decided to immortalize this moment by taking a picture of it. I would often visit this particular site in order to relive that moment. And I would take pictures in order to compare both events. It actually makes me think about the impermanence of life, which makes it valuable.
