RED!





RED!

Nature loves the color. Flowers. Birds. Butterflies. Chiggers. Blood. It's all over the place; it courses through our very bodies.

But, I defy you to name another red more eye-popping than a male cardinal in winter. Against a background of dull winter gray and brown, their color is vicious. It rips into the eye, paralyzing the optic nerve. You cannot help but stare. Speechless.

They are bodacious.

Hello dear Aby.

Do you have birds around you in New Delhi?
