Sunrise at Sullurpetta

I took this picture while I was traveling from Sullurpetta to Chennai in a local train. The train left Sullurpetta towards Madras at 5:45am. The train goes through the eastern cost of India, covering the costal area of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. We enjoyed the cool breeze of the dawn and watched the sunrise. Almost 90% of the east side of the railway line towards Madras is covered with paddy fields, or lagoons or palm trees. On the other side we were able to see a row of Blue Mountains. Most of the people who got into the train from Sullurpetta and the intermediate stations towards Chennai were having fish, or vegetables or fruits which are to be sold in Chennai. A major difference between the people living in the Eastern and Western cost of India that I noticed is that, people in the Eastern cost starts their life much earlier in the morning; may be an hour before on average; than the other. One reason may be that, the sun rise at the Easter cost happens earlier than the Western side even though there is no time difference between both cost.
