Autumn... The name of the season itself drives so many feelings of awe as well as melancholy as soon as we just hear about it. It is rightfully said to be a second spring when every leaf is a flower before it sheds away, becoming just the memories.

The falling leaves have been an inspiration to myriad of art pictures, articles, stories and a lot has been in metaphor with human stories. We see the pinnacle of greens in summers and the leafy landscape is gradually splashed with yellow, orange and reds which has captivated our attention and imagination since ages.
Artists have always juxtaposed the ideas of falling leaves with memoirs of our stories as autumns have always been known for breathtaking sights and being humbled and overwhelmed by their vivid colours and emotions associated with them.
