A Lack of Color



Black
It’s a mere five letter word,isn’t it? Yet a full 3 hour movie was made with BLACK as its theme.This five letter word could have 5 million meanings,all of them,different and equally significant.What does Black mean to you? It could be anything, from the color of your party staple(LBD’s ladies?),to the color of your snazzy cellphone.It could mean blindness(A lot of Bhansali fans,myself included would agree),it could also mean the color of the sky before dawn breaks.It is possibly the most versatile color,yet Black,itself indicates a lack of color.

Black is the color of oppression
It is the color of mourning
It is the color of rebellion
It is the color of graduation
It is the color of space
It is the color of power
It is the color of mystery
It is the color of the night
It is the color of the wrong,
It is the color of the right,
It is the color of a lawyer’s robes,
It is also the color of the corrupt man’s money.
It’s the color worn by the jehadis,
Its also the color worn by nuns,
It’s what you see when you close your eyes,
And it’s what you fail to see when you dream.
Black is the color of charcoal,
The same one which makes our eyes beautiful.
It is a branch of dark magic,
It is also,the color of justice.
It is the color of the strong,
It is also what envelopes the weak,
It is the color which surrounds us all.
And yet,it is the absence of color.
Black,truly is beautiful.


Peace and love to all,
Nikita
