Of tablets, leaves and petri dishes

Posters for biohorizon are creating a problem. Rachna feels that pink tablets are not a sane idea because pink is not a sane color (pink is gay... duh). She does, however like pink tablets, that is why she put it on the poster. To make it crystal clear, she likes the color (though it is not sane).

Ashwani feels that the tablets are bad because they hide the text, now Rachna wants petri dishes (or leaves... why leaves?). The petri dishes are not pink, they are a sane color.

But Ashwani does not want petri dishes, apparently petri dishes are not related to biotech... biotech is fermenters, etc (though why u should not grow microbes on petri dishes in a biotech. venture beats me). Ashwani also wants bright shining bacteria (fluoroscence bacteria), which would then be green... pink vs. green... an insane color vs. robin hood's merry men...

Of course, the bacteria could also be yellow, which to me is the worst of all colors. Yellow is too bright. The best color, of course, is red... blood and life. Why should red be okey for guys and not pink? (If Tom Cruise or David Beckham wear pink, they are metrosexuals, not gays. The latter applies only to those who are not Tom or David). Then, of course, we have blue... Aashima said today that pink is for girls, and blue for boys, she was, in typical aashimian style, completely robed in blue...

The best combination is black and silver... I would like to see special I-cards for Biohorizon in Black with the names embossed on it in silver... now that would be good... but how do u get this simple idea across to a bunch of fashion neanderthals?

Then again, I feel that the pink tablets were okie in the first place...

raghav273: i am not gay, but i also do not consider it insane/irrational

averma43: coming back to the issue... i think something tht can give an image of the field shud be put on the poster ... i am just trying to relate petris to biotech. havent seen any in my lab.. though i visit there seldom
