Story:
Bettu: ma, which religion are we?
Me: I dint get you?
Bettu: black,  white.. or maybe brown? What's our religion
(Rewind: bettu was practicing MJ and was watching the superhit 'Black or White')
Me: ah, I get it now. None actually.  Color of skin doesn't define one's religion. It only leads to discrimination and no religion actually teaches you to discriminate. No matter what color your skin is, color of heart defines a person. On that note, there could be two religions.. good and not so good.. if at all.

Imagine! When you think of it, such discrimination exists at grassroot level... white or not around the world; fair, dark, darker, darkest, wheatish.. in our homeland, with in the neighborhood,  with in each family. It can be found at the innermost core of existence!

Michael Jackson,  Martin Luther king,  Mother Theresa  (mmmmm .. all M's) have all stood up against the so called color-religion. They practiced Love.. colorless love, just like water!

Well - much as I dress up colorful,  ironically my fav color is the colorless white. The sun kissed summer afternoon motivated me to choose this simple comfy look. I wasn't ready for a hugging choli so switched to a cool, comfy, airy cotton top to go with it.
