Picture-perfect sunsets can amuse almost anyone under the sun. From amateur mobile photographers to professionals, everyone has tried their hands to capture sunsets across the world. Of late, social media has been inundated with sunset photos from Mumbai. Reason? The recent showers cleared the Mumbai skies and gave some spectacular views. Also, thanks to industrialist Anand Mahindra, his tweets about sunsets in and near Mumbai have sparked a trend among social media users. Now, there is a line-up of stunning sunset images on his tweet thread.
On Tuesday, Mr Mahindra tweeted, “A few days ago, social media was inundated with pics of Mumbai's clear post-shower sky and spectacular sunset. Never too late to join that bandwagon! Pic on the left was apparently somewhere in Alibaug. A Rothko painting (on the right) come to life - or is it the other way around?”

Another user posted a photo of a "perfect" sunset over the sea. The warm hues and the fluffy clouds make this photo look enigmatic.

Mr Mahindra's post was flooded with reactions that showed different sunset views from different parts of the country. Seeing the huge response to his tweet, the chairman of the Mahindra Group wrote, "Whoa! This is turning into a ‘World Cup' of sunsets. All teams/entries welcome, in that case!" Along with this, he retweeted a sunset postcard from Hubballi, Karnataka.

Mr Mahindra retweeted some of the photos on his Twitter page. Here's one of them:
And let me make this the last RT. Because, at the end of the day, the most important & memorable sunsets are not necessarily those that are the most visually spectacular, but those that are part of our own, personal experiences.. https://t.co/g88YLVDENe
