holi

colour, is what you see when you close your eyes. it is what pervades the blank screen under your eyelids when you can't see any more. nostalgia, seasons, the feel of a person..they all have their colour equivalents. colours seep through memory. with eyes shut, you see lemon-yellow and you know it's summer. crimson-orange for sunsets, white for the softness of old age, green for forests in the rains, terracotta for the coziness of him, sky blue for the feel of my mother's soft cotton saree... i'm still to find my colour for loss..i think it's colourless.
