how do you frame a question ?

A group of young girls aspiring to be USHA gathered around in the athletics school to know directly from the legend herself. One girl spoke 'Athletes are not taken seriously. If I ask my partner what quality he finds appealing about me, without any action verb like running, the answer is 'how about when you are silent ?' Even though it is an oxymoron, you get what you ask for.'

Usha replied  "I feel something is missing in my life if I do not run. In my entire sporting career, I achieved everything I aimed for, except an Olympic medal.

The feeling that I could not get one had been hurting me for long.That is why I came back to the field, soon after I became a mother, to train young athletes.

I was first inspired by Balakrishnan Nair, our physical education teacher. He made me run with the champion of the school -- one Baby Sarala.

We all have to start somewhere. for you this sounds peculiar. Next time ask in a different way to aid your question."

Soon, mood of the girl turned to quiz herself about how would she frame the question. She thought to herself framing a painting would have been easier.
