Ok, so I am taking this Writing Assignment to test my English writing skills. I am no newbie to writing. However, I sometimes need to feel the need to have approval from a specialist, especially where my grammatical and prose construction are concerned. Now that I am here, and my topic is on "Colours", I need to let the creative juices flow and the get the better of me.
"Colours", what pops into my mind when I think of colours. Well of course, who would know more about colour than a woman. Her life is surrounded by colours. I wouldn't say that men don't know about colours. Of course they do. But, my many interactions with men have left me with the feeling that all shades of blue are just blue to men. Well this isn't about gender rationalisations. Instead let me focus on what importance and role does colour play in the life of a woman. An Indian woman's life is surrounded by colours. White for purity, red symbolising the wedded bliss, the vermilion on her forehead, the dedication to her suhaag, the green in her bangles, the indigo in her laundry, the yellow in her curries and the favourite maroon and magenta shades of her lipstick.
Colours surround every sphere of our monotonous humdrum life. They fill our lives with vibrancy and ebullience. I wonder what life would be without colour. The searing blue of the sky on a cloudless day, the lush green foliage of a monsoon season, the smell of the wet brown mud after the first shower of rains, brings to mind that sometimes colour accompanies sound and smell and has a mnemonic impact. I am sometimes fascinated with the different blend of colours I see in nature. Given that modern technology can replicate any shade of colour in a lab, from pan-tone to mid-tone to metallic to hues and what nots..nothing beats the innovation of nature.
Some of the most fascinating shades are seen in the colour of eyes, people of various nationalities have. I have watched and marvelled at the depths and shades the colour of eyes reveal. I am sometimes lost in the deep embers of colours and myriad shades of emeralds, turquoise and topaz. I find eyes fascinating mirrors of our soul and the gateway of our emotional repertoire. Then next in the order is foliage and flowers. Those deep purples and gold, oh the hand of the Almighty and his creative presentation is truly ethereal and sublime.
I could go on and an about the beauty and the vibrancy of colour and it would not do enough justice. So I'll end here, ever thankful for the fact that the Almighty has painted this universe and all its essence with so much colour and beauty, that his creation but marvel at its wonder :-) If I find time, I'll come back and add to the above. In the meantime, if you happen to read this post, my humble request would be to please correct me, so that I better my intermediate writing skills.:-)
Cheerio
