A Day in My Life - Without Colors

I woke up one day and rubbing my eyes tried to gauge the situation that I was faced with... Well I had lost all sense of color, I could only see things in "Black and White". I thought it was just a hallucination but slowly I began to realize the grave situation that surrounded me. Well the first problem I faced was, I could not identify my toothbrush, well I know it sounds weird but there are four members and naturally there are as many toothbrushes. Now each looked the same, black handle and white bristles!!! Somehow I overcame the situation, I will not go into how but it was not easy at all!!!

Then I took a bath and wanted to dress up but again all the shirts looked the same either Black or White... Flabbergasted I wore a white shirt and black trousers... This I realized was just the beginning of a long hard day that lay ahead of me... As I left for my office, I could not make out between cabs and private cars... After a couple of failed attempts at stopping some cars coupled with some disgusting looks, I hit jackpot and finally managed to hail a cab. I was beginning to get anxious by now but decided against disclosing this fact to anyone as they would think that I had gone nuts and would not believe me.

I was troubled many more times during my office hours as I had trouble recognizing different documents as different types of bills are distinguished by different colors... So I had to manually read and sort out the bills, what a pain!!

After lunch which was another troublesome task as I had difficulty identifying different things on my plate. So I decided to take rest of the day off and made my way to a nearby garden. But alas! Even the flowers seemed to have lost their charm, without colors, every flower looked the same... Some flowers even looked disgusting in jet black color!!! I then made my way to the sea-side, thank God the breeze doesn't have any color... The cool sea breeze relaxed me a bit but I knew that if this situation persisted, then I was going to be in deep trouble. I spent some time there watching the waves come and go, people enjoying themselves, eating ice gola (hell I could not make out the flavor)...

Soon it was time for the Sun to go home and I thought this would cheer me but it was the most disgusting sun-set I had ever seen... I just closed my eyes and thought that I had had enough. With moist eyes I prayed to God to relieve me of this unique situation. I realized how unfortunate people are those who cannot see, I sub consciously made up my mind to donate my eyes after death. But, Ah!!! I realized what use of eyes which I am myself not comfortable with!!

I closed my eyes and shut out everything from my system, just went blank... pretty much in sync with the day that I had just spent! Somebody was jerking me and there was a splash of water on my face, probably the waves had come far... I opened my eyes with a startle and found that my mother was frantically trying to wake me up!!! I struggled to come to terms with the situation at hand but was relieved that my vision was normal again... Colors had returned to my life again!!! I hugged my mother and immediately told Her that I would like to donate my eyes if something happened to me.... I would consider it the best gift that I could gift to anyone, if someone could see the colors of life with my eyes. I thanked God and hurriedly got ready for office. I realized the extreme importance that colors play in our lives, without them life becomes tedious and drab...
