#AtoZChallenge – Flash fiction based on life’s philosophy or mood or emotions, interpreted using colours.
I am taking a little liberty here by taking K for Kaalaa (masculine) or Kaali (feminine), which is hindi translation for black colour. Other colors were Khaki and Kelly Green, which were posing to be difficult to interpret with respect to the sequel I am writing. Black is considered to be inauspicious in Hindu culture and is not used for any auspicious occasion in any form.
Continued from Part 1: Ivory Princess
Part 2: Jade Prince
On to the Part 3: Kaali Nazar
