Color-curve

Rainbows. Colorful curves that never fail to strike awe into the hearts of kids, at least in my opinion :)

These beautiful curves have always fascinated me... I used to get really excited whenever I got to see one on those rare occasions they actually did appear, although I vividly remember being left wondering why my self-framed rain + sun = rainbow equation didn't always hold good on quite a few occasions. It was one of the first times I observed that something was wrong with an equation. There have been an overwhelming number of such observations ever since :P (Thanks to physics, math and chemistry). Most of them a direct consequence of my silly mistakes. Hopefully I don't stop making these 'observations' for a long, long time :) I find them an indispensable part of how I learn :)

So then I realised there was an element of luck to all this. Luck that seemed so hard to come by on those days you wished you could see a rainbow, especially when the rain/sun combo was actually there! Now the modified equation was rain + sun + luck = rainbow. Luckily I got lucky a few times :) Like when I clicked this pic :D

Anyway, I guess I should start thinking about looking for the end of the rainbow now... So that I can find the leprechaun's (supposedly) hidden pot of gold ;) Maybe I'll get around to doing that sometime soon :P
