Steel gray is not my favorite color..Well maybe only when it's the color of the sky ..with glossy green leaves on trees, peeling their moss covered barks, in the foreground to contrast it ....and the dark murky waters to catch those reflections and create the sight I can fall in love with..I love that steel gray...because it reminds me of those summer storms of my childhood, of those lush green paddy fields swaying in the crazy wind along the railway tracks and the streamlined journey of birds....And I love that exact shade of gray which used to make me happy with thoughts of sitting in the balcony, watching the fat raindrops collecting on the leaves...and inhaling the earthy smell .. ..If I could,I would go back to them...to those exact smell,taste and sounds...once again ~ ~
Wow I luv this shade of grey !!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to every bit of it. This reminded me of my childhood though it was devoid of paddy fields but the fat rain drops and the smell of the earth takes me back to my home sweet home. I miss it.......
ReplyDeletehi sulagna,
ReplyDeletelovely description of this shade of grey ... everybody relates to colors in different ways ... the great saint devotee meera was also transfixed by this color as it always reminded her of her beloved krishna...for me this color reminds me black and white movies ... because i am a movie fan of old hindi movies :)
