COLOUR MY WORLD

Spiderman needn't worry about birthday presents. His lifelong costume, comprising blue tights and a torsohugging blue and red jumper, could have betrayed his birth date to excited fans the world over. The only hitch is that these may be his favourite colours, but they aren't his birth colour. A wardrobe overhaul with a generous splash of the right colour may shield villains from getting too close to his skin. This time it's chic colour therapists to the rescue. The procedure is based on a combination of star signs, numerological vibrations of one's birth date and earth or element signs, an ingenious method that takes forward the quest for the ideal personality and inclinations. A birth colour is a personal colour, corresponding to the real you, to recognise, celebrate and honour the same. Everyone's been taught to recognise colours, but the knowledge of a particularly favourable colour needs tweaking. Along with reading toes, knuckles, thumbs, wearing coloured stones and armlets, this method seems equally scientific. When you're blue, don't you need a fiery orange to charge up or a peachy pink to soothe those nerves?Colour is vital to moods. Only now, you may have to suffice with revolting baked clay. The Green Goblin, Spiderman's arch enemy, has an underhand agreement with colour therapists. His colour corresponds to personality traits that are unassertive, prosperous and kind. Didn't he almost kill Spidey?

Broadly, everyone born on the same day shares a birth colour. I share my birthday with Sonu Nigam. Our birth colour is canyon rose. He is sexy, musical and grand, bang on target as per the description. I quit singing class after two months when I heard my voice filling the room. Birth colour indicates where there may be imbalances of colour, which point to a potential problem; whether emotional, physical, mental or spiritual and even personality issues, which need to be addressed. So whatever is missing from one's personality and lifestyle can be filled by the description in one's birth colour chart. Is it, therefore, time to give Spidey some new spicy orange tights?
