The Eleven Senses of Man

All quadruped animals have five sensory organs – eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin; though they do have something that bipeds don’t – an extra-sensory perception that we call intuition. Bipeds on the other hand have five sensory organs and a very rudimentary intuitive. Scientists say that there is a direct correlation between agility and the five senses. The more senses you have, the smarter, the faster you are.

Taking into consideration this fact, man should have been a little less bright than any other animal on earth. But it’s not so. Why?

My ‘Wonder’ful Passion

“Type of the wise who soar, but never roam, true to the kindred points of heaven and home.”

I am passionate about Wonder.  I mean the activity of wondering. I also mean the state in which one finds oneself overwhelmed by fabulous wonder. And I also mean that moment when you can’t keep it to yourself anymore and you have to share the moment with someone and call it wonderful.

Nothing deterred him from fulfilling his passion…

There was once a dog named Scott who served his master well right from the time he was born and taken care of by his owner. The owner got Scott to drive away his flock of sheep’s predators, the foxes, the wolves and all that desired to reduce their numbers one by one. Scott was trained to do so all the while he grew up and he loved his job too. There were several reasons why the dog was so attached to his job. His only friends were the sheep who along with his master was the world for him.

Mr. Red’s come back in my mind

Our brain is biased in its very own way. Have you ever noticed how colours attract your attention and eventually change your perception? RED is a strong colour that conjures up a range of seemingly conflicting emotions from passionate love to violence and warfare. Red is Cupid and the Devil.

The Circle of Change

Red lends royalty to purple and majesty to orange, it lends love to roses and danger to road signs. It brings passion to a mind in love and rage to a mind in pain. Why have we given so much importance to one colour? Why is the colour of our blood the colour of power too? Is there a subliminal connection between our modern day perception of the connotations of Red and what we saw as we evolved?

From Slice of Life to Spice of Life

Red is a colour associated with a wide range of emotions. And the same colour plays such a vague role in our lives; every phase of life that you’ve been through, red has a different personality.

Big Mr. RED

Grandmamma spoke a lot about Big Mr. RED

It must have been a figment of her imagination, or maybe, I’ll never know. Whenever she remembered her days at the institute, where she met grandpa, she’d talk about Big Mr. RED. She was always haunted by the words “I told you……aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”. It echoed throughout the corridor. Big Mr. Red lurked the corridors spreading the RED.

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.
