yup figured it out to some extent . The blue of both authoritative and of subordination has an undercurrent basis in trust.The trust that both are viewed with is reflected in the colour.So they have a common ground in the value of their being .

We are doing a course on colour and have to give a presentation on blue . Blue. What is blue? How many similes and metaphors will u get before u realise that nothing is really blue without conditioning , surrounding and labelling? Since that is what we're built on , it is a valid assumption to say that loneliness or dreams feel blue or footsteps or the ghost song feel blue.
A slightly confusing aspect would be the fact that blue is authoritative as in the blue pin stripes ,blue tie and the spiffy blue mercedes, the IBM logo,the SBI logo, Microsoft and yet why does my friend Vivek think of only blue when he thinks of Murali? Isnt blue the blue of subordination ,of millions of drivers, peons, security guys and the rest?Even if it hides behind the technical blue of the workman's overalls it still is subordination.
The mystery of blue ,colour of the shadow side, of the melancholy,and the raat.

I look acrossthe harbour's misty blue,

And find and lose that magic shifting line,

Where sky one shade less blue meets sea...

Here are a few observations on the colour blue froma book the faculty gave us:
Mosquitoes are attracted to the colour .
A blue candle flame is said to indicate the presence of ghosts.
A blue cover for a magazine on a newsstand increases sales.
Sharks dont like blue.
Asian babies are born with a blue spot on their lower back when they are born which vanish in a few days ..
here is a final one..
What did the cow do when it ate blue grass?
Mood Indigo.
What do u connect with blue?

questions..

Prachi mentioned to me a few days back that to live such a philosophy would be great temporarily...would be interesting.I got thinking...Can someone actually live a philosophy? Even if u believe that, how real is that truth? And what great belief it would be..an obsession ? How does one have the courage to do that? Are Philosophies only for proposing , finding fascinating and leaving them to gather dust on a corner shelf, or to be something of the past? And if u did live them , wouldnt it be the most enriching experience be to live through all of them temporarily and your own too? Life would just be so much more. Is this just abstract thought?
Why?
I cant leave my comfortable shell and venture out to believe anything and make it a part of my life, other than what i already believe in .well, i dont have to but well its hard for one to think beyond your everyday doings, goals, trials and the instantaneous life?
The Instantaneous Life...thats what it is...can I live beyond the instant?
Shrug.
Anyway nothing matters, if I'm listening to Albert Camus.
I have lived my life one way and I could just as well have lived it another.-Camus

Awesome light... 

Photograph I had taken at a wedding .Incredible smile dont ya think? 

Avy told me today that existentialism is gone,' that was long back' he said. how, i thought ,can a philosophy be a thing of the past? How can he say that a philosophy, one that has frayed the white collars of a believer, that has made a bilious protest rise against its very core, a belief that could free man from the yoke of idolising and worshipping an Ahura Mazda or a Shiva, lying prostrate at the feet of a stone carving or statue ,empty except in its symbolism,a way of thinking that could cease mans efforts to believe in a another being intangible and abstract, how can such a thing be done with ?
Something that can explain so very simply all the meandering questions of every man about life and the eternal quest for meaning , that can say that the fundamental absurdity of life is that there is no meaning , no truth ,no reason ,a thing that can make a man believe in nothing and live for life's sake and not for a higher goal ,a thing that if followed may not end up as the overwhelmimg expectation of the masses , but may be one of the most free ,in the true sense of the word, most FREE and fulfilling ways of living.
Fuelled by the illogicities and doused by the miracles ,it exists in every lonely,depressing, self doubting feeling man has ever felt and has risen due to that question that every man asks more than once in the period of his lifetime , if not all the time -
What is the purpose of life?my life?
Existentialism answers back...
NOTHING .

a masquerade it is, all of it.....

I am not what i seem . Seeming is but a garment i wear. -Kahlil Gibran
The despicably true mound of poetry breathes its last sigh at these fecund words and walks on to a life without shame.
All of it , every word, every expression , all of it , a seamless travel into a phony progression of seeming? Well, yes.And its fine. I dont live like im afraid of it . Seeming is my possession and i am not ashamed of it. I use it and obey it , and defy it even if it has no rules to obey .I do not genuflect to it , as i know i can surpass it . And a garment doesnt cover one completely.....Revelation is just made arcane by the very act of seeming.
Clothes are a provocation to want to see a person naked.
so I am my garment .....
my surface , my skin
I am a melanin masquerade.
