Splashes of colors

So here is the recipe. Pick your favorite color: Blue? OK. Now throw a can of blue on the spotless white wall. Let it follow its own random pattern. Next, take your second favorite color: Red? OK. Do what you did with Blue and let both of them have some overlapping area and let some of it have its own identity. Go crazy now and take all the colors and start splashing the small cans of them on the wall which was white first. 

Well, that's another way to define life. May be yours, may be mine. Every color has its own significance and you are bombarded with colors all the time. Some of them are painted with a fine brush and elegant strokes. Some of them are born because the bumpy road you had to take to avoid the traffic and reach somewhere early. Many fingerprints are left on the wall as people find and fill empty spots on the wall. Some simply go unnoticed.

Colors and music are so similar and yet are so different. They become haunting when the lights go dim and beautiful when experienced with a good company. Intensity of both can be controlled and yet can be felt intensely with open mind. Like a wild wind running as a child, these colors have their effects and importance. When they get up and get a life of their own, they form shades. Shades define the moment, picture and life.
