Sunsets are beautiful to the point that they seem as though we were looking through the doors of Heaven. Sunsets are just little glimpses but the beauty of the sunset is a farewell kiss for the day. So this GSoC journey is a sunset of my life. It enlightens my career and is a really good life changing experience. I learn from the past, dream about the future and don’t forget to enjoy life. Don’t forget beautiful sunsets need cloudy skies.
