A rainbow in the dark
Published by Abhilash Ravishankar on Wednesday, July 20, 2005 at 10:53 PMAbout the title:
Two things - One, probably, the title of my next short story and two the lyrics of a song by Dio - the best lines of which are reproduced below
You're a picture - just an image caught in time
We're a lie - you and I
We're words without a rhyme
There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
It fascinates me, this concept of individualism and the morality of rational self-interest in contrast with collectivism and the typical selflessness. Guess, I have been Objectivised by Ayn Rand. For, it is anytime much more interesting and inspiring than Harry Potter.
How does it feel like to be a Rainbow in the Dark ? Have you ever
- ever done things with humility and a tinge of pride - that pride you seek to earn?
- wanted to meet a friend or adversary who has a sharper mind than yours?
- felt a sense of incompleteness within yourself, coupled with self-betrayal?
- wished to chat with friends late night over a cup of coffee on ideas and visions rathter than chat over the chics/hunks in college?
- felt like crying out to the world, rebuking its insolence?
- felt utter contempt for mediocrity?
- slapped the incompetent bastard? (atleast felt the urge to)
- felt sympathetic about that friend of yours who laughs when you talk about philosophy with your girl/boy friend? (for he is such a loser in life)
- craved for cut-throat competition, but had to settle for snails behind you?
If the answer was an 'affirmative' for any of the above, then you are a classic case of a 'Rainbow in the Dark'. I hope to write a short story on the same soon. Provided my Mom keeps making more of those 'Gharccino's (the new kinda Coffee she is brewing these days).

But the darkness is a perception of the viewer and is not real.It may be a result of the viewer's blindness or his wish to close his eyes or his inablity to see light!!
Does it affect the fact that I am rainbow with seven vibrant colours?
For me, it doesnt and i really dont care!!:)
