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