The other day i was thinking about the colour GREY.
It was a funny train of thought really.
I have always held a personal belief that rural India and people from the lower socio-economic strata have an inherent albeit simplistic life view as well as a certain joi de vivre, and hence prefer bright colours in their clothing and acoutrements.
It follows that urban settlers and higher socio-economic profiles would prefer muted and subtle tones.
Extending this logic, i think it may be possible that this is reflective in their rational thought and philosophies as well.
They do not see shades or grey tones. Its black or white.
The implications of this are many, including the fact that they would be missing out on so many possibilities that life may offer in any given circumstance. But due to a limited view and therefore a limited expectation of the outcome, they overlook the grey-tones.
