इन काली सदियों के सर से जब रात का आंचल ढलकेगा जब दुख के बादल पिघलेंगे जब सुख का सागर झलकेगा जब अम्बर झूम के नाचेगा जब धरती नग़मे गाएगी वो सुब्ह कभी तो आएगी जिस सुब्ह की ख़ातिर जुग जुग से हम सब मर-मर के जीते हैं जिस सुब्ह के अमृत की धुन में हम ज़हर के प्याले पीते हैं इन भूखी प्यासी रूहों पर इक दिन तो करम फ़रमाएगी वो सुब्ह कभी तो आएगी This song written by Sahir Ludhianvi more than 62 years ag...

Photographing sunsets or sunrises is normally all photographers' favourite pastime. They can do it almost endlessly at every dawn and dusk. So has been the case with me. And when the charm is to capture the last sunset of the year, then you don't want to blink, just to click... click... click.

Read Moreकल आपने पढ़ा हिमालय से जुड़ी दो जगहों के बारे में। आज जानिए समुद्र से जुड़ी उन दो जगहों के बारे में जहां आप बीते साल का आखिरी सूर्यास्त या नए साल का पहला सूर्योदय देख सकते हैं- कन्याकुमारी का संगम: कन्याकुमारी हमारे देश की मुख्यभूमि का आखिरी सिरा है। यहां अद्भुत समुद्री संगम है। यहां पर बंगाल की खाड़ी, हिंद महासागर और अरब सागर मिलते हैं। इसीलिए इसकी महत्ता किसी तीर्थ से कम नहीं। अंग्रेज इसे केप कोमोरिन के नाम से जानते थे। तमिलनाडु में नागरकोइल व केरल में तिरुवनंतपुरम यहां के सबसे नजदीकी शहर हैं। देश का आखिरी सिरा होने का भाव भी इसे देशभर के सैलानियों में खासा लोकप्रिय बना देता है। लेकिन यहां की सबसे अनूठी बात यह है कि यहां आप एक ही जगह खड़े होकर पूरब से समुद्र में सूरज को उगता हुआ भी देख सकते हैं और पश्चिम में समुद्र में ही सूरज को डूबता हुआ भी देख सकते हैं। यह अद्भुत संयोग आपको देश...
