My eyes only see red


Changing my tab cover from white to red made me wonder on the gush of appreciation. Was it the color which was playing the trick…? Torching towards it inferred how much are we smeared with the color red.Second to the school of thought advocated by researchers, robed in this majestic color sure-fire to turn heads.

 A prick will instantly show red not only on the place but also on the face. Traffic Red Light warns us to hold our reigns, on the run red colored diversions make sure are not left discounted. Restaurants use this color liberally as believed to be an appetizer stimulant. The VIP or Ambulance ear-splitting light leaves us bedazzled all petitioning for a smooth pass. Reception of red coated fire engines always leave us keyed up. Walk on a red carpet is a moonwalk. A bride is always incomplete without red, whether it is her face or the grace. The supremacy of red light was also proved by NASA that it helped to heal wounds, burns and skin ailments. The cosmetic benefits subsequently emerged made it available in High Street salons. Association with courage makes it a color that is often on shields, and achievement patches.

 Red is assertive, daring, determined, energetic, powerful, enthusiastic, impulsive, exciting, stimulating motivator a highly visible color. The first color to which babies connect. Cumulatively it shows that effect of the color red is significantly unique and operates at a sub-conscious level. Signals health, status and fertility not only in humans but animals as well.

From all the Tell-tale, messenger of peace & harmony Dalai Lama is also dressed in shades of red …
Honor to confess  ”My Eyes only see red…”

Suddenly you will realize your world has turned red,something we were seeing but not accepting.

 I promise to stay with you longer than a page turn this time……

Third Part of us...


National Geographic Channel while publicizing on Third 
gender matched a light in me. India full of colours which 
exhibit all in one call them in some expanses aravanis.
The epic Mahabharat, in which Aravan, sacrifices himself to stop a war. His last wish to be married was fulfilled by Shri Krishna, who changed himself to a woman as no one willed to marry who was doomed to die. Aravan’s story is not forgotten he still lives on & worshiped in their hearts.

The base on which our history sleeps tells us loud n clear we were always three. Reflections of transgender spirit are ancient and deep.The Mesopotamian chronicles of humanity, Goddess Ninmah from Sumerian, Akkadian fables 1700 BC, Babylonia and many more verify of individuals who performed religious duties as third gender.

 The Hindu law, Manu Smriti (c. 200 BC–200 AD) explains the biological origins of three sexes:

"A male child is produced by a greater quantity of male seed, a female child by the prevalence of the female; if both are equal, a third-sex child or boy and girl twins are produced; if either are weak or deficient in quantity, a failure of conception results."

Buddha also showed light on this by codifying four main sex Males, Females, People of a dual sexual nature and People of non-normative sexual natures.

Hindu god Shiva is often represented as Ardhanarisvara, with a dual male and female nature. The sculpture carved in Elephanta Caves near mumbai is still a living example. At the time of Christ the third-gender predecessors were clearly evident. Adam was mirrored an androgynous before the split into Eve.

What took us so much time to know or still knowing fail to understand….?

Makeup your Sign Language



Holding high opinion on KFC Deaf and Dumb Workforce, DD News channel imparting news to them ever since my salad days took me deeper. Realized Sign Language cannot be demarcated as their legacy.Which is beautifully weaved with permutation of manual, facial, body movements. A persons body language always tells his story more than his words.


Once perceived we need to interpret detect the hidden meaning, successful decoding is a vital skill.  Individuals will crack and understand messages in different ways based on their experience and understanding of the context, their psychological state,time and place of receipt with many other potential factors. Perfecting is an art of a successful communicator.


 One of the most popular psychology study revealed that verbal communication is only 7% in overall communication. The rest 93% is coming from non-verbal with 55% of body language and 38% of tonality.


Incredible dynamic nature of us makes studying of human behavior a challenging task. On balance, nonverbal behavior is the most crucial aspect of communication.

Real vs Fake Makeover



Hype of Virtual World is increasing day by day it has changed forever the way we communicate, made distances shorter and the world smaller. Valentine’s round the corner only make me wonder that in spite of all the drum beat, a real thing can never be faked with an imitation. I would still be swept off my feet by a real card than a virtual one. We as humans are hard wired to hold a thing which we get than admire it in a box. A winning trophy in hand instantly gushes our adrenaline making us go red. Which can never be revived by seeing it as badge of honor on a screen.


   Connecting with our networks, we fall back on Emoticons to publicize feelings and expressions. They can never make it to the real ones. Any day phone call makes it more worthwhile than a text, presence in person for anybody would be always an unforgettable event down the memory lane.


We still have to mirror the fact...


 How the virtual world is making us lethargic by string-puppet our thinking…? 


Texting always springs up the word in half way making us feebler.


 The effort of pulling a dictionary and scan for a meaning is bygone. 


Beauty of handwriting without say has lost its radiance.


Virtual World may have broadened our horizon but still it can never win over our psychological side…. Real Vs Fake…..
