Today was the first day I regretted not having a camera in my cellphone. And how! It was a pleasantly cold early morning at Ahmedabad as I boarded a Spice Jet flight back to Mumbai. It was almost 6 am. The flight took off on time and luckliy enough, i managed to get a 'window seat' :P . I was lost in thoughts, a process aided often enough by my Ipod and its music for all different moods of mine. A few minutes after the take off, I glimpsed outside my 'window' into the vast expanse of the sky. What I saw, took me a while to digest. A beautiful horizon.. The lowermost part was the black expanse of the earth below.. followed by a fire red flamed layer of clouds and then probably a vast stretch of dark royal blue sky partially hiding the crescent of the moon in this fresh morning. I visually stored this beautiful scene in my mind.. as I kept staring at sky out of sheer awe.  Wait a minute, I thought. There's much more to the canvas than just that. The red flaming layer of clouds now had a yellow tinge on the top. And then, as I scanned, I gradually noticed the light sheet of bright green followed the yellow and then, as anyone with the sense of VIBGYOR would know, blue, beautiful indigo and violet!! I was thrilled. I was getting to see the entire canvass of sky painted in rainbow colours. I stared hard at the sky. the girl next to me mustve thought i was probably flying for the first time.

The best thing about this beauty was that the colours seemed to merge almost seamlessly. I looked closely to try and make out exact disctinctions between the colours but they were so velvety and merged like magic that it left me speechless. Ok, may be i am overreacting to some normal phenomenon, but i am saying what exactly a frustrated soul like me on this crowded cemented hell experienced up there in the skies. I groped my bag for my digicam, but nopes, I had left it in Mumbai. the only way to remember this picturesque canvass was to store it in the memory card of my eyes. I decided to replicate it in whatever way i could when i got back to Mumbai to be able to share it with the rest. And the result is this picture you see above. It is what I have attempted to create from scratch in photoshop. But i assure you, the real sky rainbow was 100 times magical than this is. but you get the idea, dont you? Can't get better entertainment and freshness than this on an early morning inside an airplane.
