First Word 47

Saying I love You…in colour.

From the obvious, red is the colour of blood and a ruby. From philosophic perspectives, besides danger – so you stay away from it, red spells beauty, passion, fire, sacrifice, socialism and communism (in this case togetherness and selflessness). The Chinese and many other cultures make it the face of happiness. Scientists have linked the red in food to long life. Foods that have red -beetroot, strawberry, carrots and others are believed to reduce incidences of cancer.

In today’s world, it’s the colour of LOVE.

Well, if you represent the Very modest’ fraternity your head could be ringing – Cliche, cliche, cliche! But for the sake of the people you so love – like the little one stroking you from the inside, why not tell the world there is LOVE inside you love that makes your heart pump more excitedly. Get that red dress, sandal or bracelet.

Our fashion felt for the ‘modest’, and went softer on the red. But the ladies could be having some hot red going on, don’t you think?

The rest of Pregnant is well arrayed with things that make you see, feel and hear love – within and without. Some yummy yoghurt – blended with fruits and crowned with fibre-rich cereal and some ‘egglicious’ on page 28 shall treat your taste buds to some love, as they smack you and the baby with health.

The rest of the stories are ‘un-put-downables’ – The Mja Mzito journals, Health, Fitness & Fun, Labour and Delivery columns all put your life in a LOVE-ly state. Peep into Dad’s Diary’s First Impressions on page 56 and let me know what you think.

Happy ‘LOVENTIMES’!
