Crocodile, Crocodile - What colour do you choose?

Few days back, our friend's 3 year old daughter was listing the colours of rainbow. Colour is one of the few early things taught to us. It is something that fascinates me to the core. How somber it would have been, if the world is seen just in the shades of black and white?

I always prefer to do the prism experiment to see the diffraction of light. Similarly, I wanted to see the newton's rings, but we were asked to do with a monochromatic light and hence I could see only the light and dark bands. How wonderful it would have been, if we were asked to do it with a polychormatic light. Oops, Is it sounding very technical?? Well, My intention is not to write a post which is very fundoo. Thou' I would love it but it is a long time, since I lost touchbase with my much loved, cuddled, fondled physics book- esp the light chapter.

It is said that the colours can even change the mood of our mind. It is in a way true. I somehow prefer working in brightly coloured cubicles, than the somberish gray. But, to my fate, most of the cubicles, I have worked are gray in colour. So, dont blame me if I am not working !! You see, it is just the colour of the cubicles ;-))

Personally. I prefer the colour of green - the lush green seen in the fields. It somehow lifts my spirits and whichever mood I am in, it immediately changes. My hubby and sis prefer the blue colour. I vividly remember the different shades of blue, seen in the bay area when we were driving to my BIL's office. waw, what an artist God is !!

Have u noticed the background of "Kadhalikum Aasai illai" song of the film, "Chellame"? Man, the camera has done wonders and captured the wonderful blue shades. Every few feet of the beach, will have different shades of blue. It is said that the song was shot in Andaman. Similarly, is the song of "Mudhalam sandhipil.." - starring Prabhudeva. I dont know the name of the movie. A beautifully rendered song with excellent scenic beauty but a horrible choreography, which literally made us lose the fervour of the song and the wonderful background.

Well, Did you know why our white uniforms look whiter when we use the blue (Robin/Ujala/regal/supertone sottu neelam) ?? It is said that the diffused blue colour reflects the light which counteracts the yellowing and hence the clothes seem cleaner.

Too much of techie stuff..so let me stop here !!
