clolurs of life

what's your fav colour? do you hate any color? what are positive colors and what are negative colors? what are positive? can we discriminate colors as good and bad as well? if yes then how and why?

these were few questions that went around in my mind on the very day of holi and before and after that. i never shared it with any1, yet i've been observing ppls likings and dislikings towards various colors.i always wonder y black is treated as a negative color by many elders? what mistake/wrong has it done? how can wearing/ carrying a black color to a sacred function/ritual/gathering would effect the happenings? why Hindus prefer Red and Yellow (and some saffron), why Muslims prefer Green and why Christians prefer Whites? How are the influencing ppls minds? Why doctors say green color (earlier) and blue color (now) have curative effects? How are the differences formed?

Once I was observing a child's behaviour and reaction to a particular stimulus, for the same stimulus yet another child responded differently (both have same condition with little variations). Later in the Pychology class I learnt that perceptions vary greatly. and in child psychiatry class I learnt about beliefs.

and now when I recollect above mentioned three instances...what I understand (or rather perceive) is that we believe that colors are different. I think what i perceive a color may be different for others. For example I like pink color and do not like blue color. may be the same color (pink) you see it as blue and think that u like blue and see the other color (blue for me) and think that it's is pink. we both actually like and dislike same colors, name them differently. to simplify it, if we both see a same color and call it commonly as orange (for example) but what we see is different actually..that differences in actual perception causes likings and dislikings. (still sounds complicated, eh??)ok leave it!!

well woteva color be it, i like almost all the colors, and for me i treat all the colors equally, that is no single color can be called as a good/bad. only thing is not all colours suit to all contexts. for me colors are equal to children.some are dark colors and some others are light colors yet all are colors, similarly some children are easy and some are difficult yet all are children. like how few colors look grt in few contexts and some others look horrible but for that we can not cal it as a wrong color. children exel in few ares and find difficult in some other areas and hence for that we can not call them as failures.

when i see ppl discriminating colors which are abstract, i'm afraid, how much discrimination they must be showing towards ppl n children.

there is a close relationship between colors, children and me.......

definitely all are different but treat them equally for what they are n have. accepting is what all that matters.

for me everyday is a holi-day, i play a lot with colors n children. yeah, it's fun.
Hope you had a grt holi on holi day.
c u in the next post! tc!
