The Blank Black, The Wise White & The Graceful Grey

“Rose is red, leaf is green,

Clouds are many but Sky is blue,

Too colourful the world is and

Conscience doesn’t need any clue”

So, what’s your favourite colour? Ask this question to any person …some will say red, some blue, some will go for yellow, some will say green… you will not get one who doesn’t like colours. Fill any painting with several colours and it will, no-brainer, become colourful. Have you ever delved in your mind, “Is it really full of colours?? Is it just what it seems to be?? Or it is something else??” if you think so then its time to beguile you to something which was veneered with open eyes.

Again coming to the word “colourful”, if something is full of colours then it is not necessarily full with colours. For example, if it has the colour red, we can say that it doesn’t have any colour except red as is proved by science. The same is true for all colours. And ask anyone about the colour white, most of them would say it is colourless until it has some other colour mixed. All the colours are mingled together to give white. This is the only colour which is colorful and nothing is missing. What is the reason behind?? It is just too simple to be understood. It tells us to remain simple and enjoy the feeling of completeness as White is Wise.

Moving further, the colour black is profoundly loved by the youth in clothes and accessories. But Black is Blank. This colour is nothing, it’s a colourless colour. It is actually the absence of colour which gives black. It has nothing to show to others or in other words it digests everything coming to it and leaves nothing. It is the colour of emptiness as well as eagerness. Since it is empty enough to show you nothing and eager enough to gulp whatever it gets. It again depends on how you take.

Between the above two extremes, there exists a gap filled with the graceful colour grey. So what exactly is the colour grey???? Is it black with white mixed or is it white with black mixed?? You answer and it will again reflect your attitude. Isn’t it? Grey is graceful when it has both, White and Black perfectly combined. It is the colour which is colorful with patches of colourlessness. So relating it to human nature, it is blank as well as wise enough to understand and withstand everything.

These colours do reflect your personality upto some extent. So which kind of person you are… the blank black, the wise white or the graceful grey???

I WISH THERE WAS….

I wish there was a Singer in me,
Wishing this I started singing,
I mumbled SAaaa...
My mom said NAaaa.
Complaints grew,pleased were few,
Everyone asked,Brother KYUN?
I felt disheartened,had a cry,
If they can sing,why can't I?
Continued singing,kept on trying,
Each moment being,HORIFFYING,
Well one day It seemed,I caught melody,
I knew oh Lord,it's the remedy.
Now,
I know there is a Singer in me,
So wished there was a programmer in me,
Wishing this raised anxiety,
But wishes Friends,got me into IT.
