The Tinge of RED

Sitting at my couch on the Sunday afternoon, doing nothing, I looked at the color of my bedroom wall, painted with carnelian red.

My mind started boggling and it went on a completely different tangent.


I started thinking red. What is red? I questioned my curiosity.
Red is a fire burning as hard as a passionate desire.
Red is an afterglow of the sunset.
Red is feeling brave with all your might.
Red is the heart of every lover and a dead end sign after every fight.

Hmm… red is a running nose, when you are down with cold after getting drenched in the first monsoon shower.

Red is a hotness, you get inside when you burn with anger or blush with grace.
Red is a lipstick. Red is a shout. Red is a signal that says, “Watch out!”

Whatever it is, we just can’t imagine our lives without it.

While my mind is still pondering over the after effects of red, the conscious part of me brought me back and gave me a drastic thought.

I instantly pulled out my laptop and keyed in the words, ‘The tinge of Red’.
