I’ve seen a fair amount of sunrises and sunsets in my life. But it was at CGH Earth’s Tilar Siro Andamans that I witnessed the sky unfold in colours unknown — where the horizon blushed with tender pinks and molten golds, and the sun rose from the pristine blue seas, painting the skies in shades of crimson and fire as it ascended into the waiting sky.
Little did I know that the same evening would be surpassed by an even more spectacular moonrise. Or perhaps I had never imagined that black and white could be so captivating — because when the moon rose from the sea at precisely 18:35, it cast a spell upon the waters, turning them into a glistening expanse of liquid diamonds. It was the day after the full moon, and when it slipped behind the clouds, the world was cloaked in darkness, only to reappear with even greater splendour: beautiful, magical and mysterious. The moon’s fleeting disappearance behind the clouds turned my world to darkness, a moment of stillness, waiting for the moon’s return: more brilliant, more magical, more alive than before.
