straight from "The Heart"

"How does half an apple look like ?" was the question asked to a participant during an interview for civil services examination.

Indeed the question was the simplest of them all. I'll tell you later what was his answer.
Meanwhile just imagine a piece of apple which is half cut. A fresh apple say. The first thing which strikes our mind, may be its redness, freshness, taste or even a knife besides it. That's good , but not complete actually....

We always appreciate people who are successful in life and have a bold face to show this world,
but have we ever given a thought to those in majority who could not succeed inspite of their hard attempts ?

We always look upon those who were always better than us,
have we ever thought of someone who is not at all capable to be better ?

We always prey to God that he ensures us all good things in life,
How many times have we thanked Him for everything He has already given ?

We always come across young chiks expressing their love,
Have we ever wondered how many hearts were broken to make that "love" ?

We see guys promising and proposing their wishes to beautiful ladies,
Have we ever observed a girl holding back her tears during the "proposal" ?

We even see a blunt and rough boy who was never soft to girls,
Have we ever wondered if even he lost his heart and decided never to give it again ?

We see stage performers, star casts and also the crowd which is their fan,
How many of us are fans of those who risked it all and are still stuggling ?

We always criticize players who could not perform well,
How many of us hold sympathy with them ?

We always perceive and appreciate the so called "good" things in our life yaaro. Thats surely being optimistic , but ignoring the rest is'nt at all optimism. Spare a thought for those questioned in the second lines, and life shall define you what's love, where's God and why He made you ? The ecstatisy following shall always be ours.

"The other half." was the answer given by the candidate who was ranked AIR 2.Who knows this simple question would have been his deciding question.

and yah, Happy Valentine Day in advance !!! enjoy your day.
