Shades of Colours

Beauty is not in colour; 

It is in the perception; 

It is in how you see things.

Treasures Unearthed

I still remember my High School 6th grade lesson titled 'What I found in my Pocket?' by GK Chesterton. Thanks to my English teacher at that time - Mrs.Meenakshi. Her way of articulating stories in classes and method of teaching made the lessons unforgettable.

Like how GKC narrates the memories he recalls when he was looking at each of the things from his pocket, I also had similar one when I was seeing some of the things I found in my room. These are those which I used once, but now these are like a expensive treasures.
