Psychology of colors

The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color. It is ubiquitous. Yet what does it all mean? Why people are more relaxed in green rooms? Why weightlifters do their best in blue rooms?

Colors often have different meaning in different cultures. And even in our contemporary societies, the meanings of various colors have changed over the years. But today many researchers have generally found many of the myths to be accurate.

Going more on the line lets have a look what every colors says:

Black:

Black is the color of Authority, power and secrecy. The “Black Shirts” were the special security troops in Hitler’s German army. Black is also associated with sophistication and elegance. It’s popular in fashion because it’s also stylish and timeless and it makes people appear thinner. Black also implies submission. Catholic priest wear black to signify submission to god. Fashion experts says, a woman wear black implies submission to men. Also there are many phrases on black, like Blackmail, blackwash, blackout and many more.

White:

White symbolizes innocence and purity, Christian brides wears white gowns, White flag is universal symbol of truce, even in myths, Angels are usually depicted wearing white robes. It also represent neat and cleanliness, like whitewash, white room is dust free room, doctors and nurses wear white because that imply sterility and hygiene.

Red:

The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is also the color of love. In Russia red means beautiful. Red cars are most popular target of thieves. Red is the most commonly found color in national flags. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. Since it is an extreme color, red clothing might not help in negotiation or confrontation. In interior decoration red is usually used as an accent. Decorators say that the red furniture should be the perfect since it will attract attention.

The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Sports steam sometimes paint the locker rooms used by opposite team bright pink so their opponents will lose energy.

Blue:

The color of sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. It causes the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Blue is the color of loyalty and faithfulness, as the phrase “true blue” means loyal and faithful. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interview because it symbolizes loyalty. First prize always gets a blue ribbon. Also, people are more production in blue rooms. Studies show weightlifters are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms.

Green

Currently the most popular decorating color, Green symbolizes nature, as it does in out Tiranga. It’s the easiest color on the eye and can improve vision. It is calming and refreshing color. Performers sit in green rooms to relax before any stage show or TV show. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients. Green is youthful, while dark green is masculine, conservative, and implies wealth.

Yellow:

Cheerful sunny yellow is attention getter. It’s an optimistic color and in India the color of festival of springs is yellow, a yellow ribbon is a sign of support for soldiers at front. It also have negative effect, like people lose their tempers more often in yellow room, and babies will cry more. It’s most difficult color to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused. Yellow enhance concentration, hence it’s used on legal pads, and to-do notes.

Purple

The color of royalty, purple connotes luxury, wealth and sophistication. The Egyptian queen Cleopatra loved purple. To obtain one ounce of purple dye, she had her servants soak 20,000 snails for 10 days.

Purple in child’s room is said to help develop the imagination according to color theory.

Leonardo da Vinci believed that the power of meditation increases 10 times when done in a purple light, as the purple light of stained glass.

It is also feminine and romantic. However, because it is rare in nature, purple can appear artificially.

Colors of our flag:

Bhagwa or saffron color denotes renunciation or disinterestedness. Our leaders must be indifferent to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work.

White:

The white in the center is light, the path of truth to guide our conduct.

Green:

The green shows our relation to soil, our relation to the plant life here, on which all other life depends.

Ashoka Chakra:

Though it’s not related to color psychology I would like to tell you what it means. The “Ashoke Chakra” in the center of white is a wheel of law of Dharma. Truth or Satya Dhrama or virtue ought to be the controlling principle of those who work under this flag. Again, the wheel denotes motion. There is death in stagnation. There is life in movement.

India should no more resist change, it must move and go forward. The wheel represents the dynamism of change.

There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun. So Lets be the one who turned a yellow spot into the sun.

Vodka can save you !!

Aside from being a fantastic drink, vodka has many uses which you may not have known about. Since vodka is one of the world's most popular drinks, many of us have a bottle handy in the home. And since its typically filtered and pure, it makes a handy liquid to have around.

Differences you can make, Save Planet by doing such small the trivial things

Earth Hour,
From last couple of years we have been noticing the changes in climate, summers are becoming scorching and winters are freezing, natural calamities like flood and drought are becoming regular. Reason: Pollution, Green House Gas effect, abating greenery, Deforestation and many more. And all of know the result will be devastating as ice age in near future. So we are going to do about it? All of us have many ideas, that government should put tab on emission norms, plant trees n all. But what about you? As a friend said, today leads tomorrow. What contribution are you going to make today for a better tomorrow?
Did you ever thought about how much energy resources you can save everyday with just small-small things. As the time consideration, I’ll just focus on two things:-
1) 20 seconds,
2) 1 hour,
20 seconds, you know very well Bangalore traffic, whenever u stuck, what is the thing which troubles you most if you are not in an A/C packed car. Pollution. Some time you feel die or go mad with the suffocation of smoke of vehicles. I have something to share to make your contribution to prevent this pollution.
Whenever you stuck in traffic, if the stopping time is more then 20 seconds (you may calculate it by the timer on red lights, or by experience of riding/ driving that how much time the halt going to take) You should stop the engine revs. From time you stopped the engine to the green light, you would have made a significant contribution not only to the environment, but your pocket and energy resources too. Imagine it collectively if it is done by most of us around I’m 100% sure, traffic jams and stucking at a red light will be far better and greener.

My second point, 1 hour, which is also termed as earth hour. Switching off your Systems for an hour. We normally spend 30 minutes to an hour in lunch session. In this duration our system is mostly idle . If we shut down the non-critical systems and lights over your cubical in this duration, you can save a massive amount of energy. So if we take a look at bigger picture, that it is being done collectively by all of your office, you can imagine what amount of energy we can save. You must be knowing that the major energy production is done by coal, so we are not only cutting down the energy consumed and electric expenditure of our organization we are actually save the planet from CO2 being emitted by power companies. Not only this, the time you leave the office if no critical task is running on the machine, or there is no some sort of resource sharing on the machines, then you can switch of the machine for whole night. Now this can be a massive amount of energy saved every day.
So by doing two such trivial things in everyday routine we can actually do quite a lot contribution to our mother planet earth.
Apart from this, I want to start a kind of campaign for plantation of trees at right and needed place. And there is no better place then EGL Biz park to do this. We have hundred of offices, buildings around which are centrally AC, which generate enormous heat and CFC which is responsible for Ozone Layer penetration. But anybody can guess the number of trees we have in this business park, the number would be even less then 10, if we exclude the palm trees outside Microsoft, which are of no use. Though we have many small green park, almost outside every office. Not only this the walk-ways are there which has sufficient space to plant trees, like we have ample space on the left side of the building. This space can be utilized best for the plantation of tree. And the offices in Biz parks can take care of these trees, after 3-4 years those trees will not only add beauty to the architecture of this business park but also made this greener.

Most unfair thing about life

Most unfair thing about life

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What is that, a bonus? I think the cycle is all backwards. You should die first. Get it out of the way. Then live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young. You get a gold watch and you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs and alcohol. You party. You get ready for High School. You go to grade school and become a kid. You play. You have no responsibilities. You become a baby. You go into the womb. You spend your last nine months floating...you finish off as an orgasm.

सरफरोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है !!

सरफरोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है,
देखना है जोर कितना बाजुए कातिल में है ।

करता नहीं क्यों दुसरा कुछ बातचीत,
देखता हूँ मैं जिसे वो चुप तेरी महफिल मैं है ।

रहबर राहे मौहब्बत रह न जाना राह में
लज्जत-ऐ-सेहरा नवर्दी दूरिये-मंजिल में है ।

यों खड़ा मौकतल में कातिल कह रहा है बार-बार
क्या तमन्ना-ए-शहादत भी किसी के दिल में है ।

ऐ शहीदे-मुल्को-मिल्लत मैं तेरे ऊपर निसार
अब तेरी हिम्मत का चर्चा ग़ैर की महफिल में है ।

वक्त आने दे बता देंगे तुझे ऐ आसमां,
हम अभी से क्या बतायें क्या हमारे दिल में है ।

खींच कर लाई है सब को कत्ल होने की उम्मींद,
आशिकों का जमघट आज कूंचे-ऐ-कातिल में है ।

सरफरोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है,
देखना है जोर कितना बाजुए कातिल में है ।
