This is the very first post of this blog... of Purples & Maroons. WHY PURPLES & MAROONS? Hmm... The story behind choosing this name for my third blog is quite long, and I'm not going into details. Instead, I would prefer to give you the gist. Well, Purple and Maroon are the interesting hues. Let's see... umm... Purple is a peppy color, little girly, next choice after pink, lively yet smooth, vivacious and... and, yes, and cute, so full of life.
On the other hand, Maroon... umm... what does pop up in mind when we think of Maroon? A color that is dark reddish brown to dark purplish red, or we often use the word to refer to someone or something that is marooned. In short and sweet, Maroon is something dull and lifeless, but yet a part of life. Purple and Maroon could be the positive and negative forces in life.
Though this could be an attempt to actually decode the hidden meaning of the title, the actual meaning is coming from something else. Purple symbolizes periwinkle flowers blessed with purplish pinkish velvety petals. The delicate personality and cuteness of these flowers always stunned me. They are simple, and unlike roses and lavenders, lack fragrance. But somehow and always they have been able to mesmerize my senses for reason - 'unknown'.

In Marathi Periwinkle or Vinca is known as Sadafuli (meaning: something that blooms all the time) and for me happiness is as pure and purple, and as precious as a periwinkle. Periwinkles are forever.
Now, coming to another hue, Maroon. Well, that was the shade of a shirt, yes, the shirt with half sleeves. The Maroon shirt that made SRK look awesomely handsome and cute in DDLJ. And that's the story. that's it!
So, Purple and Maroon are two colors, two moods that swing, two feelings both happy and sad, two vibrations both positive and negative, two things one living and one material - A purple blossom and a half-sleeve shirt.
And therefore, the shades of Purple and Maroon define me, complete me and make me what I AM.
