PART 1: SMILING STRANGERS #

💭 Four people till now including an old man on platform, a school kid with a cycle, three adults in the farm and a little lad in my side compartment smiled so gracefully. They are all strangers to me. They just reciprocated my smile.

little lad- so little cute smile

PART 2: SHINING SHELLS #

JANUARY 06′ 2018

After returning from Araku, I decided to run the next day. With google maps as my running partner, I ran from RK beach to Rushikonda beach- a 12km run. The roads are so clean and there are dust bins for every 50 to 100 metres which left me awestruck. I joined the early morning joggers on beach road and continued on the beach road till GITAM college chasing the sun. Finally, after reaching rushikonda beach, took a time lapse of mesmerizing sunrise over the waves of the ocean.

After some time, as a part of hobby to collect some physical articles from the place I visit, I started collecting shells which looked different. Initially, I collected a few of them. But, as I proceeded, I came to a realisation that every shell is some or the other way different and every shell has its own beauty. These non living shells made me realise that, even every human being has his/her own self beauty. But, they are chasing or imitating or trying to please (collecting) other people(shells) without realising their own beauty. JUST BE YOU!!!!!!!
