A quiet night, a cup of coffee and the sea

Image
My favorite night plans are a simple one— coffee and the sea. I find it very peaceful to sit on the seashore at night in Mumbai and enjoy coffee. I will reach my coffee at the seaside. Holding a cup of hot coffee in the cool breeze feels like a perfect combination. I slowly sip coffee and watch the waves in front of me. I don't remember any busy schedule in such moments. I just enjoy the present moment. Sometimes I see city lights, sometimes the ocean and sometimes the sky. If the night sky is clear, then watching the stars becomes my favourite activity . I thought how beautiful it is that even in such a busy city we can spend a few moments with nature. I sometimes listen to music with coffee. Sometimes soft songs and sometimes old favourites. But sometimes the main music also stops and only the natural sound of waves is heard. I feel that there is no need to make happiness complicated. Sometimes a cup of coffee, cool breeze and the sound of the sea can improve your mood. I find s...

Mumbai nights and the tranquility of the seaside

Image
My name is Kanika, and I live in Mumbai. I have always loved Mumbai’s nights. After a day of hustle and bustle, traffic and work, the city takes on a completely different side at night. I especially enjoy spending the night by the seaside. When I reach the beach at night, the cool breeze is the first thing that touches my face. The sound of the ocean waves gives a unique peace to my heart. I often sit quietly for a while, simply watching the waves. Sometimes, it feels as though the ocean is absorbing all my fatigue. The view of the night sky is also spectacular. On clear nights, the twinkling stars look like natural decorations over the sea. Looking at them, I get lost in old memories and dream about the future. For me, sitting on the beach at night in Mumbai is not just about hanging out; it is a way to spend time with myself. Sometimes I listen to music, while at other times, I simply listen to the sound of the waves. I believe the beauty of Mumbai lies not just in its buildings and...
