It’s been 10 years in Sindhudurg (Konkan), and somehow my world is full of three prominent colours: blue sky, green trees, and yellow/orange sunset hues.
Today I feel it’s more yellow. The rains have subsided over the last few days; I’m not sure whether it will rain again, but I truly hope it does for a few more days. A beautiful, bright day with a slightly humid atmosphere. It feels soft and moody. The sea shines brightly on the coasts, and no one can ever guess where the water ends.
Some of my days are bright and yellow; I know what I’m doing, and some are blue, where even my hot coffee turns cold. Today is that warm yellow colour where I love to be with my family and feel grateful to be around them. I’ve finally accepted every colour of my life.
Even the heaviest grey days might feel slow, like that phase where something is definitely brewing but nothing is visible. I understand not every day needs to be sunshine-worthy. Every colour teaches me something and prepares me for something. I always try to match my day and sail through that phase.
What colour would you choose?

I was an orange but am a teal, turquoise, greeny-blue colour now. I changed with time and age and so did my preference. The colour lilac is very close to my heart for some reason. I admire people who love yellow, it is a happy and optimistic colour. I see yellow but somehow, it is always out of my reach.

While in Mumbai, the days seemed to have only one color most of the year – yellow of the sun. And when monsoons would come, the days would be constantly gray. Now that I live in Hyderabad, I find that the days have only two colors – the first half of the year is yellow, and the second half is gray! Loved your article and the way you associated colors with feelings and emotions.

Most days I am yellow with lots of green .But sometimes I am a little red in parts and blue for few minutes too.As colours go I love them all and like how you have used them to describe moods.Life is after all a rainbow.

What a lovely analogy to draw! I think I love the colour sea-green or sometimes cobalt blue. I love the colour yellow too. It changes as per mood, actually. I loved reading your post.
