why zero??

Zero is the most enticing number, shape and idea. As a number it has no value, but it can add power to or gobble up any number one writes. Shape because its so easy to draw  or write it but its so heavy in its meaning. Idea because its a "nothing" yet everything. Its a never ending figure, we start it where we end it. Thus, Zero is a hero!!

I was once labelled as a "BIG ZERO" by somebody. Now, i was a kid and i could not figure out what this phrase meant, whether to take it as a compliment or a scolding, as I loved 0 since the time i learnt to draw it, but the person telling it was frowning with a red face! Anyway, today i smile and chuckle all alone when i remember giving the person a gentle smile uttering a big "Thank You" and politely walking away. :)

Well, society has many a times tried to zero down a girl, a woman. But they tend to forget that turning a girl zero will only empower, strengthen her. 'Coz ZERO is power!! A girl stumbling on a stone, falling, and then trying to walk up is a zero, but a boy doing so a hero!!!!!! Its not a generalized observation, but yes, majority. And is this what we call is boons of living in a just human society?????

Zero stumbled, fell, lay flat on face and walks upright now with two-legged monsters flying all around on their broomsticks to wipe her out........

Zero moves on...

born zero...

“A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.”  

Coco Chanel aptly puts in the feelings of millions....no, in fact almost every female in the vista. However, hard it is to be or to act what a girl, a woman wishes. Privileged are the few, disgraced are the many...

I was a born zero. I had almost a petite round skull and hair almost zilch...nil. And i looked like a pretty ZERO :) . 

They say i was born between two very interesting beings or non-beings, i don't know exactly what they are, Mr. Rahu and Mr. Ketu. They say, but they say very late. Only recently i have known about this wonderful planetary positions during the time of my birth. Wonderfully Alas! :(  And my life unfolds.......
