That Little Yellow Dress

Since I was a young girl who loved ponytails, books and baiy kakkaa, I used to adore the color yellow. The brightness, the sunny-ness, and the happiness of the color drew me to it. So, it was no surprise that most of my rainbow colored wardrobe consisted of yellow dresses, pants, bangles, belts, shoes, etc.

The passion continued even when I was growing up. I remember having a yellow bag in Grade 4, a yellow dopatta dress at the age 12, and so on. Even When I moved to Male’ I had many yellow material goods, mostly pieces of clothing. Then the phase got to its maximum, with me buying only yellow stuff. Everyone at home would say their eyes are gonna fall off. Haha.

People used to associate me with the color yellow, and I was proud, until… until that sad day, when I came to know, along with most people in this very country that YELLOW is the official color of a political party. Even then, I didn't care. I used to wear yellow all the time.

Sadly, not anymore. I still do wear yellow a LOT! But Its a different picture now. I can’t go out wearing anything yellow without people associating me with a political party. I never experienced any such thing in my life, so I never did care. Now, the picture’s so obvious. People no longer can believe that anyone can wear yellow. They will associate it with MDP.

But it doesn't still matter to me. I don't care what people are gonna think. I love wearing yellow, And I’ll still keep wearing yellow.

I’m not gonna change who I am just because people don’t know.

That Little Yellow Dress should not be blamed.
