Is Beige the new Fuchsia?
My Dad is a very open minded tolerant kind of a guy, and very rarely does he lose his patience. ( Well, he lives with Pooja, Ma and Me….he has to be patient !!!). But there was one moment when he totally lost his cool, and was seen fuming at the TV screen. The TV was tuned to the MTV Style Awards, and no my dad was not angry at the open attack to bharatiya sanskriti, it was a harmless little statement made by designer Narender Kumar: “ Well, pink is the new black anusha!”.
Well, dad being the typical male doesn’t have a very sophisticated color palette, he can barely distinguish one color from the other, so imagine his worry when he was informed that these colors were now swapping places!....Didi and I have over time explained the concept of many different shades to him, but now…now that pink is black, where does that leave gray my dad would like to know?...
But is is this range of colors that keeps mars and venus so distant. And my dad should know. Mummy can spot 5-6 different shades of White!
But Joy and Pradeep, worry not…Beige could never be the new Fuchsia!
