SUNSET.......










It acts as a magnet for me! Witnessing the setting sun is my favorite hobby since couple of years. Some people think sunset means 'win' of DARKNESS. But according to me, it is a healthy goodbye to the ‘day’ and warm welcome to the coming Darkness. Sun slowly creates space for moon to take over the SKY, leaving behind color palate, which fascinates me a lot! Sky moods during sunset are simply amazing! Numerous colors mixed in ‘perfect’ proportions. …


Seen and observed it for days together, I am able to recognize moods of SUN too! Like Sun in hurry, sun with a frown look, sun with tears (seems either me or sun are mad!), lazy sun, shy sun and many more. Sky becomes HIS companion in setting these ‘setting’ moods. It’s the time when I can directly look in HIS (sun) eyes, without blinking, without stressing them…
Apart from the setting Sun and me watching it carefully, there are several other events occurring. Day ends, Dark takes over, Moon takes the centre stage slowly along with millions of stars, plants and flowers start loosing their fresh mood, birds, animals call off the day and return towards their homes, nocturnal world begins with owls, rats, frogs (during rainy season), snakes starting their ‘day’ after a nice sleep. Watching birds flying back to their nests makes me aware of caring nature, aware of eagerness to be at ‘home’!
Light diminishes as I think about the next day’s sunrise… I get up and start ‘returning’ to my house, sun always leaves behind some rays to aid me find the ‘right route’. I turn around and start walking, thanking SUN without words…………
