Let’s rise with the sunrise

Sunrise represents a new day. This is the time when birds start chirping, people wake up with new dreams and perhaps, fuel a few resolutions. Simply put, it is one of the most beautiful sights of nature. It is perhaps, rightly assumed that the mere sight of a sunrise induces calmness in the beholder.The darkness of the night gives way to greyish-bluish sky on a clear day, which then begins to lighten up. Soon an egg-yolk-like sun starts to make its presence felt, illuminating everything around it. As one poetic description suggests, “the sun broke forth triumphantly, warmed the earth, spreading its gleaming tendrils to every corner of the world, and chased away the dreadful night. Like a symbol of joy itself, the beams hound out the last of the shadows which used to haunt the land.”Every sunrise brings new hope. If you get up at sunrise, you will be healthy, wealthy and wise. It is a time when nature is at its best. Sunrise is a time when there is calm and quiet, the atmosphere is pure and fresh and there is no dust, smoke, or noise. We can inhale a lot of pure oxygen. He who goes out for a walk at sunrise is doing his health a huge favour. The rising sun gives us light and warmth. It gives new life to withering plants and a new lease of life to all living creatures. — Text and photos by Ziyan Humji
