Abhimanyu Aneja's video: The Last Sunset in Mumbai Video Portrait

Finest steel must go through the hottest fire, said by Hrithik Roshan, It started in Delhi with repercussions of the lockdown during the second wave of Covid -19 that I had to deal with on my own. After a catastrophic end of the wave, a lot of people lost their lives and some lost their jobs but I almost lost my mind. The economy was down and I was stuck behind the walls and I was watching my morale break apart affecting my fitness routine and my productivity. My instinct of self-awareness alerted me psychologically that something was wrong. I was gaining weight and loosing self-confidence. This was a shock to me considering my history of being hyper active and run&gun kind of lifestyle. I started to figure out what could I do to fix this and my first instinct was to take a vacation but I realised I couldn't be stupider, I have a theory that states if you look good, you feel good and I hated myself at that point of time. I could see the fatigue from inactivity on my face. While the lockdown jeopardized my fitness and left me mentally and physically stressed out, I decided that I didn't need a break, I needed to train my body. I called up my old friend and trainer Sourish Dam Roy in Mumbai, who actually shot this video, I asked him if I could come and stay with him for sometime and if he could train me for a while and his response was yes but he had to leave for a trail running race in Manali so he was there for about 10 to 12 days in Mumbai. I said its enough to push me out of this. I went to Mumbai and trained with him day and night for about 12 days, and it rebooted my mind and I felt like a new person. I went on cycling and started to explore different places again and I did a lot of photography, I lost a couple of kilos which lead me to a proactive life-style and ultimately reignited my creativity and productivity. This video was shot during my last day in Mumbai on the roof of Sourish's apartment at sunset. I was reliving the moments that I had in Mumbai and thinking about the shit that I had come out of and I felt a sense of freedom. So are you the person who can solve his own problems?
