Part 1: Smiling Strangers
Journal Entry: 04 Jan 2018
"Four people till now including an old man on the 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."

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 dustbins for every 50 to 100 meters 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 the 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 realization that every shell is some or the other way different and every shell has its own beauty. These non-living shells made me realize 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 realizing their own beauty. JUST BE YOU!!!!!!!

The part between 1 and 2
After taking a solo trip to South India last year, I decided to kick start this year with a solo trip to Araku. I stayed the night of my first day in the Railway station as per my minimum budget plan. Even though I did not sleep well because of cold, I felt rejuvenated by the breathtaking views of the morning. This picture is one of those spectacular shots. Solo trips always posed me with questions and seeking answers to those made me carry something back to my personal wardrobe.
