A Winter Sunset

These days the third formative assessment is going on and the mundane task of invigilation duty, evaluation of answer sheets leave us overtaxed. Therefore, when in the last period, my eyes caught this breathtaking view of the setting sun in the backdrop of a winter evening while entering the classroom, I just could not resist from giving myself a treat of a sketch break.
However, it preys on my mind-"Why does the sunset appeal more to our mind and heart than the sunrise?" Is it, perhaps because they hold the hope of a new dawn, a new beginning, a fresh start. But then, only to culminate in yet another twilight, a night fall. A truth- how very ironical !
