Why I love Black…
Most of us fail to recognize true beauty of people and things, we are guilty of being impressed by the outer package, the plastic covering. We judge a book by its cover, at least some of us do. Same is the case with colors; the bright vibrant ones attract and the dull, drab and boring ones take a backseat. The extreme case is the black color; it is a mysterious, dark and in-your-face color. I love it because it hides my flaws as I have a BMI of 29, I feel safe in this color like many of my kind-of-healthy people do.
We have been asked to write about five black things I wish I had, so here goes-
1. Black Mirror– I would love to have a black mirror, which would show the true nature and personality of the person standing in front of it. This way we could avoid getting duped by sweet-talking but back-stabbing people.
2. Black cape– This would be a magical cape and would transform all negative thoughts of a person wearing it, into positive ones. I wish someone makes it soon before positivity is wiped out from this earth.
3. A black heart – I would love to come across a person who is full of toxic thoughts and ill feeling for the world in general. I would help him/her change his/her thinking by talking to him/her and getting to the root of the problem, because people are not bad but it is their thinking and understanding of life. If my talk doesn’t work, I always have the black cape to fall back on 🙂
4. A black Cat – I would let it cross my path and not take seven steps back, for countering the bad luck. The superstition associated with a black cat affects a lot of people and sometimes they visualize bad things happening to them or expect a stroke of bad luck coming their way, when a black cat crosses their path. This kind of thinking has to go out of the window.
5. Black iPad – This iPad would let me pen down my creative thoughts and help humanity and me too. I would churn out articles and stories to eradicate darkness from our lives with the help of this dark color, Black.

Loved your post…would surely love to use the black cape once… 🙂 All the best 🙂
Do you know why black cats cross the road you walk on?
Well the poor guy, just needed to get to the other side…
Hope you share your black cape with me?
Poor black cats cop a lot of flak! Such a stupid superstition, huh? Interesting take on the black things you’d like Sulekha! Good luck with the contest! 🙂
What a creative list Sulekha. Black cape is a specially cool idea! And of course that iPad.
Jet black tresses, Charcoal drawings, black thunderclouds after a hot sultry day, ebony of piano keys, the black princess of Ajanta …
