While flying from Mumbai to Lucknow, India, Anuja's friend, Anita Bhatnagar, was mesmerised at the splendour of clouds at sunset. It seemed as if the cirrus clouds above and the cumulus below created an illusion of land below while being above the clouds over India.

A sunset for which Anuja provided an apt qoute from Rabindra Nath Tagore; "Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add colour to my sunset sky". This sunset was seen near Devanahalli, Bangalore, India.

As if to give approval for it, there is a "check mark" in the sky, as Anuja observes, affirming the beauty of the clouds, spotted over Bangalore, India.
