The word "interest" always interests me,
Interest is an interesting word, you see!
Nothing is possible without interest, I feel.
Interest generates knowledge, action & zeal.
Interest is what is needed by one at first,
Interest acts as a driving force & is like thirst-
To quench this thirst, there is motivation.
Efforts are indications; interest is the inspiration.

Do you think you can play your dirty tricks?
Do you think no one can see your dark streaks?

Even a little child knows this.
The cow is near and so very dear. In India, the cow is considered to be our mother. Like mother's milk, cow's milk too has nourished us.
