The bitter melon ( also known as bitter gourd) is a fascinating subject for photography. Its bumpy, cucumber-like exterior contrasts with its soft, seed-filled interior. Known for its bitter taste, this fruit also offers numerous nutritional benefits.

One of the featured images of the bitter melon reminds me of ‘The Scream’, the iconic 1893 painting by artist Edvard Munch. He described the moment that inspired it:
“I was walking along the road with two friends – the sun was setting – suddenly the sky turned blood red – I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence – there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city – my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety – and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature.” (Source: Wiki Edvard Munch)
