Oh! that's why they say "Watch your words" (Don't bother It's another one from That BIG BOOK of PJs )

ya Sure it is and it doesn't end on flowers only... Gul apparently also comes handy when you want to point out the absence of something.

for eg. Light gul hai= Electricity's gone

So a pretty handy word to have in your pocket
