Color Conundrum!

The TAPMI new campus is magnificent. It is a 42 acre lush green campus studded with pink buildings. Wait a minute! Did I say pink? Oh!!! Forgive me ... but it is actually "baby pink". At least that is what one my dear friend says. And I dare not question her. After all ... since when did a man become qualified to debate on colors and that too with a woman!

One of the many weaknesses that The Almighty has bestowed upon us (read "men") is the inability to differentiate colors. We have always lacked the sensitivity towards color when compared to our fairer counterpart. Probably due to this we have been eternally accused of having "boring" and "stereotype" wardrobes. We may never know the exact reason behind this kind of difference. Scientists say that it is all in the genes. But whatever may be the case, I have a strong belief that this is a very special skill which can be developed over time, by practice and perseverance. And so, in order to prove my point, I have decided to put in a serious effort and dedication to learn this skill (or art).

Considering that my current skill set level prevents me from clearly distinguishing between baby pink, pink, fuchsia pink and mauve, or between purple, violet and lavender, I understand that the path is not easy. But then I am trying! Believe me, I have already started!

And by God's grace, it wont be long before I "truly" start enjoying the colors of life!
