Tradition in business

When I handed Anurag my red business card – a ritual start to introductions here, and his colleague Atol, my green business card, he said ‘but it’s the wrong colour, today is Thursday, today is yellow.’ He then went on to explain his uniform for each day of the week, dependent on colour according to Hindu tradition – apparently Thursday is yellow. He was duly dressed in yellow – even his socks, he informed us. Friday requires light colours (Anurag likes to wear pink) and the weekend is Black and Gold.
