GREEN! - CBC BLOG TAG 2

This post is part of the Chennai Bloggers Club's CBC VIBGYOR BLOG TAG 2 where some of us will write a post on the colours of VIBGYOR each day starting 1st of May to the 7th of May, 2020.

The colour theme for today's post is GREEN.

To be quite honest green was not a colour that I liked in my younger days and then I grew up.

In the millennium year one song happened in an epic movie that opened my eyes to this beautiful colour. The song begins with green and goes on to many more colours but the song is named green and shows how green signifies new beginnings.

Green is the colour of nature and there is something soothing about it. Many childhood days have been spent looking at the passing fields and meadows from the train windows and as you grow and realize that these are the sources of our food the respect for the green fields grew in the mind.

On the cricket field if we may bleed blue we are thrilled if the Men in Blue maintain their perfect record in ICC tournaments against the men in Green each time. And the scene below is etched in memory for a very long time.

Surprisingly green is not a popular corporate colour. When I see the BFSI space which is dominated by red, blue, possibly maroon or saffron, Karur Vysya Bank chose two shades of green for its corporate colours and they make a huge visual impact.

On the road green is probably the most awaited colour, so much that many cannot even wait for it and make a mad rush when it is amber. So green is then a sign of energy and a positive energy that is waiting to burst.

These days green has been painted a communal colour and it is quite unfortunate that something that is so beautiful and is a primary colour is treated thus. Let us not forget that those who are in any other colour apart from green are waiting for the change of colour to green at the earliest.

I am waiting eagerly too! Go Green!
