To dream about a world without colours 'mushkil he nahi na mumkin hai'? Colours have always been , knowingly or unknowingly, an inevitable part of our lives. The rainbow, an amalgam of colors creates magic in the hearts of all human beings irrespective of their age, gender, race or color. Have we not wondered sympathetically how the visually challenged nurture colorless dreams?

But it's a pity that in a world so full of colors, we do not find time to be one with nature and feel her splashing colors at us, be it the reddish orange hues of the sunset or the blue sea with shimmering silver drops or the million shades of green plants divided or blossomed with millions of colorful flowers. Yet all of us have a certain liking or dislike to a particular colour of one's choice. This preference for a particular colour can speak volumes about our character.
