From
jewellery bazaars slinging with festive ornaments to milk shops crowded with
daily customers, from chaat-bhandaar stalls stirring with feasty people to
school walls decorated with colourful paper decorations, from blue sky to
green-green treetops, life, at all times, is bubbling with a panorama of
colours.
These colours
are not only in surface appearances but also in our thoughts and emotions.
While some thoughts trigger us to feel the emotion of sorrow, some others cause
us to feel the emotions like love, bliss, joy and ecstasy. Life sprouts with a magnanimous
variety of bright-bright colours.
Words are
colours. Food is colour. Everything has a colour attached to its appearance. In
one moment, while I may feel yellow, you may feel green or blue or pink or
purple. In one moment, life may turn out to be a pastel colour while in another
moment it may appear like a scorching sizzling palette of hot colours.
Desire is
colour. A wish is a colour. Positivity and inspiration are yellow, while love
is orange and red and pink. So if you look into the eyes of someone you love,
your world sparkles with a palette of reds and purples and pinks. Similarly
when you remember a childhood memory, your world suddenly twinkles witb a
crystal jingle of all things golden, green and yellow.
Isn’t everything got a colour? Yes, everything does.
Colour is
one of the sweetest gift of life. It is a fish in the ocean that everybody
watches all at the same time. It connects everything to everything. Love is colour.
But hate is colour too. Joy is colour but sorrow is a colour too. There is
nothing in life that is colourless. Ask an artist. They will tell you what
appears to be colourless too is made up of colour.
Look at the
butterflies and the flowers. They are dripping with vibrant colours. Look at
someone falling in love. They are ebullient with colour.
More than
anything else, look at your body. The flesh, the blood, the mucous, the bones
and the eyes – isn’t everything got a different shade of colour? There are a
whole lot of rainbows endowed to human beings than any fairy land, do you
agree? Then, look at the mind, its got colour. Thoughts are colours. Emotions
are colours. Feelings and sensations are colours. The life is a vibrant palette
of colours, a mesmerising gradient and a unique conglomeration of hues.
It is a
barrel of rainwater that reflects a different colour each time you look from a
different point of view. In fact, a point of view is a colour too.
It is our
attention that is the light behind every colour.
A billion
people, all may look at the same thing and see a different colour in it. We
taste colours and breathe colours. Through our attention, we create new colours
every moment. Throughout our life, we create, only god knows, zillions and
zillions of colours. Some colours are dipped in happiness while some are
drenched with sorrow. But these are just different colours. Change the point of
attention and you can change the colour too. In every moment, life has a unique
colour.
So, what is
the colour of your life right now?
