Soaking the last sunset of 2018 at Nariman Point

Irrespective of what curve ball life throws, everyone has that one place etched in their hearts where they go, to find peace. Its just the magic of the place and the fantastic memories it holds, that works wonders which fills us up with excitement and the soul feels motivated to fight the odds. To me that place has always been Nariman Point 

My relationship with this place began 10 years back and till date, it is still is my go to place when I want my strength. It was this place where I went to shoot the first ever sunrise when I was still new to photography and had newly bought the tiny digi cam back then. The memory of that first ever solo trip early morning to capture the glimpse of nature still stands strong in my memories and pictures. 2018 has been a turmoil for most of us and I couldn't help but spend the last day of 2018 at Nariman Point to fix the broken and start my 2019 on a compelling note for thyself. 

This place has given me a lot of my first experiences in life and the fond memories of 10 long years. It somehow always manages to put my stress on the back seat as I relive the moments and see how far I have arrived.

This place will never loose the special place that it bears in my heart and I will forever be found here if I want to celebrate all the good and bad times in life. I was introduced to this place when one of my strongest friendships today, was evolving and filling me up with positivity. Endless waits by the seaside watching the sun set, ice cream sessions at the Naturals store there, enjoying the first rainy showers of Bombay, penning down the fantastic stories that my heart would want to rant while I watched the world pass by in their daily errands and not missing out on my favourite kacchi kairy!

2018 has been the most trying year and it has taught me a lot of lessons the hard way. But I am happy to end the year on a happy note as December was a month of a happy and positive firsts and how could I not visit this place and celebrate all of it? The bonds grown over this month have made me feel thankful and proud of myself for all times that I decided to give a little more of myself. Long lost friends that now hold a distinctive place in my heart and old friendships that now call me their family. Little things in life that I will forever keep cherishing and be grateful for. This will always be the view I would seek when my heart will spill its happiness in words. 

My Sunset Obsession will never diminish and here's to soaking the last sunset of 2018 as I bid good-bye to the most trying year with my Piscean companion. I couldn't have asked for a better company to spend the evening with and add more happy memories to this place. 

To sum it all, I know its been a year of turmoil for all of us. The confusions, the traumas, the heartaches, the longing, the breakups, the tough times. All of it has landed us in a lot of mess but we SURVIVED... And that's what we are good at... SURVIVING... So on this is last day of 2018 here’s a wish from me. I want you to know that its okay if it was bad but make sure you feel how much it was worth, what it taught you and how strong you are... From the emotional traumas to all the dramas, from all the random moments of joy and crying our hearts out, we did everything to help ourselves out of every situation which has worked out... Step into the new year with a smiling face, strong heart and magic in your thoughts and be positively prepared to create your new world in 2019. Paint the most beautiful scenes in it, as the universe is listening and it will go around to give you everything you desire. God Bless You!
