Friday word: COLOR

I got the friday word from Mona's blog. I used to spell the word as C-O-L-O-U-R but since moving to the United States, spell it as above. “Manoeuvre” is now spelt as “maneuver,” “centre” as “center,” “kerb” as “curb” etc. Of course there are many more words but I am so brain-dead right now. Yes, people I do have a brain and you all thought that I was some vacuous blogger who wrote stories about her extremely boring and uneventful life. Well I do lead an extremely boring and uneventful life that it puts me to sleep as well. In fact the sure way for me to get sound sleep is to recollect the day’s events before going to bed and I am dead to the world! In fact I am yawning while typing this post.

Moving back to the friday word, I love colors but paradoxically my wardrobe is full of pieces in black and shades of grey. Therefore in conclusion, not only is my life boring but so is my wardrobe! The only thing colorful right now is my language. I had a post ready but the quirky and hungry blogger ate it up and it didn’t get published. I am too tired to write the post all over again. Normally I draft in Microsoft Word and cut and paste into blogger but I was lazy this evening; therefore serves me right!

I don't have any anecdotes or stories to share with the word "color." Since I will not cuss in a public forum hence there will be no colorful language in this post. I suck at poetry therefore will not have a lame-ass poem. The only other colorful things are my paintings, one of which I am sharing with you in this post. I painted this abstract representation of monsoon around ten years ago.



Those familiar with the Deccan area of India do know that summers are very hot and the overall landscape looks barren. With the advent of monsoon, however, it springs to life. There is nothing more pleasing to your senses than the fragrance of earth after the first shower. I absolutely love the monsoon season and this painting depicts my interpretation of the colors and moods of the season.

@Asha:
Thanks!
Err...I am not a sports person so of course will not be watching superbowl..however do enjoy your weekend

@Sanjay:
Thanks!

By the way your poems are not lame ass but are pretty poignant. LOL life is indeed all shades of grey. The reason why i dress in monochrome is because I love white and black and therefore have shades in between.

@Magiceye:
Thanks a lot for your appreciation.

@Shruti:
Yup....I absolutely love the deccan area and myriad landscape. As you can tell...I am getting homesick again!

Hi, Sai!

I wear a lot of browns,blacks and sometimes blue...I wish I could bring myself to wear brighter colours, but find myself shying away from them.

That's a lovely, vibrant painting,Sai! And I know what you mean about the earth after the rain - so clean, pure and fresh,it makes me light-headed!

Hi Lotus:

I hear you about wanting to wear brighter colors but shying from it. My sarees however are very colorful.

Thanks about the painting!

I too wear a lot of dark colors. I swear I'm addicted to black clothes! It's become a challenge to shop!

Hi beenzzz:

Hey I am addicted to black. In fact I was arranging my clothes this morning and I realized that I had four black sarees and two gray sarees!!!! Most importantly I seldom wear sarees yet managed to get greys and blacks!
