When we think of the
alphabet A, the first thing that comes to mind is about apple. I have glazed
the skin of the apple that I’m biting now, rubbing it against the sari that I’m
wearing and giving it a shine. That’s how my fruit vendor does…rub each and every
apple on his pants, up and down on the outer thigh to give it a shine…and I’ve
tried this act several times. It is fun and also the red skin gives out a glow.
Can this happen to the cheeks…get that tinge of red by rubbing? No way, the
soft skin will get an injury.

| A for Apple |
How much truth is there in
the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”? A simple comparison to this
is all about the benefits the apple gives the body. It is fruit that is liked
by people and eaten without fuss.
When a child first starts
learning English, the first letter A relates to apple…the child repeats ‘A for
apple, B for…’ and so it goes on.
Apple can be carried
without fuss and eaten whenever one wants. Apple is good combination for mixed
fruit salad. Add apple to custard and the fruit custard tastes heavenly. Make
jam or jelly, that’s another way of doing with it. Serve a plateful of sliced
apples to guests and they’ll never deny it.
It’s been an “Apple apple
writing here”, and that is all because I chose this word A and that’s made all
the hullaballoo with my writing today.
