Isaac Newton don't impress me much

I have been eyeing an apple tree in the neighbourhood for quite sometime. Today just after lunch, I went and stood below the tree. No, I did not fall asleep, nor did I wait for an apple to fall on my head and thereby start a new thought provoking venture into science. I reached up and plucked an apple from the tree and took a juicy bite. Ummmmmm, I think I just ran short of expression.

One thought provoking venture into human behaviour though......a full grown apple tree, with red juicy apples, looking invitingly at all passerbys and nobody bothers to pluck??? Its not even on some private property. Maybe, out here nobody needs to worry about where their next meal will come from; a sharp contrast from the land where I belong to........

Besides the picturing a juicy apple in my head and the smiling at the comment before mine, I just noticed your "potential for greatness."

Mis-lead on! :D

@Akash: I don't think there were too many apples after our onslought. In anycase, winter is approaching - soon there will be no apples, no leaves, no nothing!
