As I spent my early years in Kolkata, during my childhood I hardy got time and opportunity to witness sunset. Sun used to set behind some concrete unknowingly while I was busy in playing. But if I look back my life today there are few sunsets I remember when I spent quality time. Why sunset is special to me? Even I don’t know. Might be because of freedom, it always a come with sense of relief. So when I seriously started appreciating Sunset? I guess it is during my 11-12. I use to go for walk alone in evening. Might that be the time when I first started appreciating it. But in that time hardly I witnessed sunset. I use to walk around a lake alone and that lake was east facing. Thosewere crazy days. Alone walking by the lake had some hidden expectation of seeing someone special walking. So I truly can’t declare that as my first admiration for sunset.I moved to Bangalore in mid 2008. It was a complete new city. I started living alone for the first time in my life. Fortunately I got a room at top of a building which has extrem
ely good view of west side. From that you clearly can witness all activities happening in Bangalore Old Airport. I can bet it has one the best sunset view. Even after I got married we have stayed there almost a year. Amenity wise that house was no way equipped for married couple but my wife never complained. With few amazing sunsets in background my girlfriend for 10 years turned into my wife. Again I got into my comfort zone, I was no longer alone and she started taking care of everything. Which she complained me about sometime after 2 years of marriage but still handling it.When I was changing my house and searching for new one, my wife used to check all amenities to match requirements, mine responsibility was to check the terrace and top of the of the building. Somehow we managed house which has reasonably well view of sunset and a amazing view of sunrise which I have hardly ever witnessed
Somewhere I read and I never forget that the day might be as cloudy as possible but before sunset sun always uses to come behind those clouds, may be for few minutes only on top of some buildings sunlight uses to fall for first and last in that day. Believe me , I have observed this multiple times and that gives me a enormous joy inside. For me that is the hope for new day whatever may have happened toda
y. Sun again will rise tomorrow may be I am in bed but normally what I heard it use to be ontime, like most of the cinema hall. If it is written 3 -0 clock mostly it is 3-0 clock.I think I have crossed half of the sunsets of life . If not very close to that. Even today I spend some time alone during sunset. I feel an urge from inside to come as better person for next day. Often few faces come to my mind whom I lost by life or by my mistake. For all the wrong things I have done and all the wrong words I have uttered I silently pray to God/Nature to forgive and give me strength to come as better person tomorrow, whenever I get up that should not matter.
