I was born and raised in Calicut, which is a rather crowded city, and during my college days, I was required to move to another city. In those days, I would actively partake in exercise routines, and as a part of my exercise program, I was required to go on long runs. When I first undertook this task, the destination was the countryside near a lake. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. The place was a famous bird sanctuary, so I had the opportunity to witness several species that are unique and rare, which I had never seen before. Additionally, the lake was filled with beautiful, elegant lotuses. Since my visits were in the morning, I had the pleasure of witnessing the blooming of these splendid flowers. It was one of the most picturesque scenes I ever had the pleasure to encounter. I remember thinking to myself that something so exquisite as this should not be frequented. So, I decided that my visit to this place would be limited and rare, as I wanted this place to be a special and invaluable location.
