Colors!!

Have you ever paid attention to the colors around you? Are you aware of the fact that colors have meanings and depict emotions? If not, this post takes you to the world of colors.

Origin of Colors - The atom is the smallest unit of matter consisting of a nucleus (with protons and neutrons) surrounded by electrons. Every material in this Universe is made up of elements which are in turn composed of atoms (of the same type). Atoms absorb light. White light is a mixture of all the colors of the spectrum. Generally, though materials absorb light, the light that is not absorbed (in other words, the color that is reflected) is the color you see.

Colors can tap moods, change actions and cause reactions. Colors are a source of power; each one has a function and purpose. I have made an attempt to unveil the meanings of the most common colors.

• RED symbolizes fire & blood and hence is associated with power and importance. It is also considered a symbol of danger, though Red Roses symbolize love and lust.
• GREEN is the color of harmony and health. It symbolizes self-respect and helps in bringing about balanced state of mind. It relaxes your eyes when they are stressed out.
• BLUE is the coolest color – the color of the sky & the oceans. It is considered the color of Divinity & Spirituality. Blue broadens one's horizons and gives a calm & conservative feeling.
• YELLOW is the color of wisdom and intellectual energy. It helps in improvising one's decision making skills and gives a cheering effect.
• PINK symbolizes love, care and acceptance. Pink is considered a feminine color!
• PURPLE symbolizes mystery and royalty. It is generally associated with imagination and helps soothe one's mind.
• ORANGE depicts creativity and thoughtfulness. It is a dynamic bright color with curiosity being the main characteristic, leading to the exploration of things. 
• BLACK is associated with authority, power and is also considered a symbol of death. Black in the general sense is said to conceal things.
• WHITE symbolizes peace, purity and kindness. It depicts a fresh beginning and is a symbol of loyalty.
• BROWN is the color of Earth and depicts 'down-to-earth' feeling.

Thus, color is in every part of life. Take a moment to look around, feel the colors and enjoy the colors. Wishing you a colorful life! :)

About Me - My First Post on My First Blog!

Hello!

     I feel the best way to start my first post on my first blog is to introduce myself. I am Aishwarya. I am a calm, friendly and a caring person. I love to spend quality time with my family and friends, like playing shuttle, caroms and always enjoy listening to songs.

      I live with my parents and my sweet little brother in Hyderabad. My dad works for one of the leading Public Sector Insurance Companies of India and as a result of his Promotions & Transfers, I had the opportunity to study in the major towns of Andhra Pradesh. My mother is a Homemaker and my brother is in his 9th std. I completed my schooling from St. Anthony's High School (Xth Std - SSC Board) and my +2 from Narayana Junior College. 

     Fifteen years of fun, two years of hard-work and my passion for engineering, especially Computer Science Engineering, landed me into Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), University College of Engineering, Osmania University after qualifying EAMCET. I enjoyed my life as an Osmanian where I learnt new technologies and also met people from different corners. I am presently working as Software Engineer in Capital IQ, A Division of Standard & Poor's. I am greatly thankful to God for having been blessed with such a wonderful family, without whose support I wouldn't have tasted the fruits of success in life.

     With a lot of excitement,I created this blog in September,2009. I didn't find anything interesting to post then and so gradually lost interest in blogging. Frankly, I had even forgotten that I had created this blog. However, my desire to Expand Horizons brought me here again. Hope I continue blogging from now and you enjoy reading my further posts!
