Past few days I have been stuck up with the number zero. Have been thinking about the importance of this number. Placed right between the positive and negative numerals it symbolises neutrality all by itself, both ends lying on either side. Its like the number knows the art of balancing and yet shifting to create meanings for the positive’s or negatives. Symbolised by a circle, ‘zero’ signifies Balance, stability and symmetry, a beginning of a never ending journey around a locus. ‘Zero’ is complete in it self. Put a negative sign or a positive sign in front. The end result zero again. The more the number of zero’s behind a number the more becomes the value of that number itself. Imagine a life without zeros. Can you?
Yet we entitle a person who’s failed with being a ‘ZERO’. WHY?

Well, thats Y one who fails is called Zero cos society cannot stand the one who is complete in itself. the selfish society wants everyone to depend on it for survival. To be incomplete without it. :D
But on a personal note, ZERO means that you came back from where you started. Achieved nothing, formed nothing. These are also the traits we associate to a failure. Hence failure has become synonymous to ZERO.
There's quote by my favorite poetess ED ' finite to fail but infinite to venture' perhaps thats why we call failures zero so that they can venture in myriad ways ..
Well Zero is an invention of India .. so we are HERO :) ... if you talk of the 0 as a 0, just don't think about it.
the deepesh has said well ... 0 is complete in itself ... but ... without a zero one can achieve nothing more than a 9 ... so on a personal note: ZERO is the root for all the achievements. buried deep in the land no where to be seen ... without if the tallest trees wudn't stand.
