DoEs-CoLouR-ReAllY-maTteRs???

Oh really? Does it really matter? Does colour play a role in our lives? Well we will certainly find it out…If oranges were to be green would it still be called an orange???It doesn't matter what the colour of the fruit is but what really matters is the pulp from inside. What matters is the taste of the fruit and not the look of the fruit. What matters is the sweetness of the pulp and not the appearance of the fruit. We will appreciate the fruit only if it tastes good rather than it looks good. We will get value for our money only when the pulp of the fruit could fill our hearts with its sweetness and we can probably say, ‘Dil garden garden ho gaya’. But if we buy the fruit just because it looks good then it might happen that the curve of marginal utility will dip faster than AAP’s popularity


I think now you can visualize the path and direction of our discussion.
We should try to ameliorate our inner values, our soul, our heart because our body has evolved from dust and one day, inevitably, it will turn into dust but our heart our soul will remain immortal and people will remember us for our values, for our actions, for our deeds and not for our appearances. Even you will agree that people remember Mother Teresa more than any other actress. She is worshiped for her sanguine behaviour, for her kindness shown towards people suffering from leprosy. And at a time when others refused to touch those people she hugged them, treated them and acted as a benefactor for them.


So what is the point in striving and dying to have a 36” 24” 36”/ six pack abs cursing your body, inflicting  pain upon it by following a strict and stringent diet- having boiled food and God knows what not… Wait a sec; I am not propagating to have an appearance which can even give inferiority complex to a Sonakshi Sinha but what I am telling is to embrace humanity so that we can subliminally influence the lives of other people and be immortal in the pages of History just as Mother Teresa did and is remembered as the Nobel Peace Prize awardee in 1979.


And for all you girls out there, you are beautiful, you are gorgeous, you are amazing, you are inspiring, you are charming JUST THE WAY YOU ARE and the not the way you try to copy others because you cannot be the best copycat but what you can be is the best you, the best yourself, so BE YOURSELF. Le de ke mallik ne yeh Nazar hi toh di hai toh phir kyun dekhe duniya, kisi or ki Nazar se.


Let me tell you one thing we never like the actual FB profile-holder, but we like their FB profile pic (courtesy: Photoshops). There is never a direct relationship between the FB profile pic and the actual person. A girl who looks like a Johny Lever after doing all the trivial editing in various atrocious photo editing apps becomes a cheap version of Rakhi Sawantthinking that she can impress people. Yes you do impress a lot of them but don’t seek demand, seek respect because if you seek demand then it may last for a minute, for an hour, for a day or for a fortnight but if you seek respect, however, it will last forever. Yet we love Johny Lever because he is more of humour and less of rumour unlike Rakhi Sawant. I think you can comprehend what I am trying to explain. Remember one thing: demand is always inversely proportional to price.


And just as it is considered a prudent practice to emphasize on substance over form principle while evaluating various events and transactions to maximize shareholder’s wealth similarly we should relentlessly focus on alleviating the substance (inner values) rather than form(outer appearance) so that we can leave ineradicable impressions in the hearts of people.


Therefore, even if oranges were to be green it would definitely be called an orange. Therefore on this auspicious occasion of Holi, hope that we all become as vibrant as the colours are. Play safe folks!!!
