Beige

After quite a while, I have come to understand what "beige" is. It's apparently a kind of lightish brown or something. Now, why someone would decide to name it "beige" is just beyond me. Of course, "lilac", "lavender" are also concepts not in my purview.

The word "beige", however, conveys so much while saying so little!

"How're you feeling?"
"Beige"

"How was your exam?"
"Beige"

"What do you think of India's chances at the World cup?"
"They're Beige"

One is left pondering about the deep meaning behind these words. It's like ringing someone up and saying "T.S.Eliot" and hanging up.

It's just a beige sort of thing.
