Disneyland & my love for PINK color

I just happened to remember.... sometime... long long ago......, I created a blog. I used my universal ID and password and got logged in!!

Experimenting with customization, I happened to find a template painted in all PINK!

And I was tempted to select that without further probing!

My love for PINK color is probably as old as I am!! My mom says when I was barely 2 yrs old, my infatuation with the color started. At that age, I refused to wear a dress(lehenga) that was blue in color, for my uncle's wedding, because it was not PINK. All the members of the family tried, but failed. And utlimately, I attended the wedding in a simple plain PINK frock.

My dad says I would often demand my hair to be turned PINK, and he had to appease me by assuring they would... one day when I grow bigger!

And then I remember selecting all dresses that were PINK, all the dolls in PINK color, PINK sandles, PINK hairbands, and even PINK-glassed goggles. And the PINK frilled frock my dad got from Philippines(in which one of my childhood friends commented that I looked an angel), I remember I wore it in all parties I attended over the next 2 years. And I had even renamed myself 'PINKi' and insisted my parents to call me by this name ONLY. Incidently my best friend's nick-name was PINKulu(Telugu effect!) too!!

Of what I remember, I was highly fantasised by fairy-tales, stories of princesses - all in PINK from head-to-toe, of PINK castles, and of princes coming on white horses(or did I think even the horses were PINK???). and then Pran's PINKi(of diamond comics) too dominated the fantasies of the rest of my childhood!

Gradually, the significance of PINK color reduced in my life। With school & college life, black & white became more prominent in the form of loads of books! And then my computer display settings were changed to silver and other shades of gray to sooth the eyes! With marriage, shades of red and maroon entered my life.

A recent trip to Disneyland, LA, California ferried me back to the PINK days of my life. The cartoon and fairytale characters all over the fun land were highly overwhelming!! And I met all my princesses too, as if they were all real-life people - Cindrella, Princess Belle, Jasmine, Ariel, etc.

Though for a day, PINK - the color of childhood, innocence, dreams & fantasies was back in my life! And once again, I saw the world with rose-colored spectacles!!
