I've seen pretty rainbows and I've seen beautiful sunsets but what I saw recently was a spectacular mixture of both. I was awestruck! I thought India was a land of innumerable colours, until that evening, when the sky displayed colours I had never seen in my life! To me, it looked like a rainbow had exploded in the sky.

Painterly effects

It was a burst of a variety of colours. It looked like God, when He was painting the sky that evening, got creatively messy and simply poured a lot of paint only on our side of the planet - just for us! The result: a breathtakingly beautiful and colourful sunset.

No two sunsets are the same. Each evening, someone up there finds it a pleasure to paint the skies, just for us. How many of us actually take time to admire the works of this great Artist?
