Long ago, I had heard a story of an old lady who lived all alone…one day while doing her routine work she loses her specs. She searches for them all over the place…in a little while it would be dark, and then it would be difficult for her to see anything at all. Frantically she tries all the nooks and corners of the house…but in vain! She must soon find it or else she would lose her way….

Just then, when she has given up..She sees herself in the mirror. A childish smile breaks on that wrinkled face…all the time that she was searching for the specs..They were nicely perched on her nose!!

Many a times, even we search for things that are right in front of us…they always were! But due to our ignorance we never realized their presence in our lives until we lose them…

Some geeks like me don’t even comprehend their absence until (although I missed it sometimes!) its right back in front of them. Its then, that it hits you that what you have been looking for was always around you…its we who look for it in all the wrong places! And once we realize this we too smile to ourselves like the old lady…

I just did!!
