Why now? Why now?

Do I really have to do this?

Is that what I need?

Can I choose not to?

Will it be safe?

These are some of the questions that may pop for some of you while talking to someone. Opening yourself all out there not only makes you feel vulnerable but scared about safety at times.

The details may contain feelings of hurt and sometimes remind you of memories of the past. However, sometimes it’s a good idea to let it out and empty your bucket. It could be to anyone – your friend, therapist, partner, or family. It’s not necessary to share everything but somethings.

World is a lonely place when there is no one to share your hearts out. Communication is very important and integral to all communities. It is not limited humans but for everyone that exists in nature.

Happy weekend!

Madam Curie nΓ©e Maria Sklodowska, was born in Warsaw on November 7, 1867. She received numerous honorary science, medicine and law degrees and honorary memberships of learned societies throughout the world. She and her husband together were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. Furthermore, in 1911 she received a second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, in recognition of her work in radioactivity.

Here are some of my favorite quotes-

1. A scientist in his laboratory is not a mere technician: he is also a child confronting natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy tales.

2. Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

3. All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.

4. Science believe in things, not persons.

5. We must all have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves.

There a movie – Radioactive available on Amazon Prime which beautifully captures her story. πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬

Why Colors Matter?

Tippy tippy tap – which color you want? I choose pink, I choose yellow, I choose red, and on and on… Why are rainbows colorful?

As a child weren’t you choosy about the colors you’d wear or have a favorite toy of a particular color? Why do colors matter?

One of the most beautiful thing about nature is colors. They are present in everything from soil to sky, from bird to animals, from flowers to fruits. Everywhere and in everything that we see is filled with colors just like the children’s book.

There have been hundreds of books written on colors and the psychology behind it. Two of my favorites are – The Little Book of Color and Handbook of Color Psychology .

Colors have meanings, for example, red symbolize stop πŸ”΄ and green symbolize go 🟒. Colors are often used as expression, for example, emojis – 😊πŸ₯ΆπŸ€’😑.

The Global Color Survey gives you a approximately 130,000 results from all over the world once you take a small survey on what you think about color.

While some colors have a warming effect, such as yellow 🟑 or orange 🟠 others may have a cooling effect such as blue πŸ”΅ or white βšͺ.

Colors even have an impact on our appetite – what if all the green 🟒 vegetables turn white βšͺ or if all the fruits were purple🟣 in color. This study talks about the psychological impact of food color and people’s expectations relating flavor based on color.

Ending on a colorful note! 🌈
