YELLOW! - CBC BLOGTAG2

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 YELLOW.

If you have been reading my other posts in this series you will know that was partial to Yellow in school and then I expanded my views and preferences.

                         

Yellow to me is all about the sun. Though it may not be a primary colour, the sun is primary and essential to life. Our lives revolve around the sun as much as the earth revolves around it. The next thought that comes to mind after the sun is the sun flower and a lovely hymn that is connected to it.

For over a decade Chennai bleeds Yellow during the IPL though otherwise they bleed Blue. When the CSK team chose the colour and the name, I was one of the skeptics because there was one sect that operated close from Chennai that had chosen yellow as their colour and initially this reminded me of their colour. Also Australia was the other notable cricket team that plays in Yellow. We have a love hate relationship with the Australian team. Over the years people of Chennai loved CSK and yellow and you will not bat an eyelid to see people of all ages wearing shocking yellow CSK tees and going around.

                              

Today turmeric is much sought after in homes as a disinfectant for all food stuffs that are bought from outside. Over the years, turmeric which incidentally is called Manjal (yellow) in Tamil has not just been used in cooking, but as a medicine, cosmetic, disinfectant and so much more. Vegetables and fruits which are bought from the market are soaked in turmeric water before use.

Finally, emoticons or emojis as they are popularly called are yellow. Bright, warm and exhibiting varied emotions this must be the most popular of all.
