Write a essay on when the pigs fly in 250 words
Answers
Answer:
It is used as a phrase to highlight the impossibility of an event happening. I have not seen this idiom being used much in India, or rather anywhere I suppose, but it seems to be very popular with interviewers and group discussion moderators so much so that they often prescribe the candidates to write an essay on it, or have a long 15-20 minute discussion on it. If you were to tell a person from the 15th century that in the future people would easily live up to the ripe old age of 80, he would probably say, "Yeah, and pigs would be flying by then". Well not exactly that, but this example shows that any claim that seems outlandish now and possibly may even be a reality in the future is treated with so much disdain. This also shows the innate fear of the unknown exhibited by human beings."It must be false because I do not understand or cannot fathom this". Anatomically pigs cannot fly, but in an alternate reality, if pigs did actually have wings, it would be super awkward to imagine a pig that actually will not fly! I guess this is why this is such a popular topic with the interviewers as it has that 'in your face' punch and really makes you think. Interviews anyway are more like a personality test and how you react to such a weird topic and how you come up with ideas on the fly really shows your mettle as a candidate. On the other hand, this will also rule out the less inquisitive yet more analytical sort of candidate who relies on hard facts and analyses to arrive at conclusions. That day will also mark the beginning of a new world where pigs fly!
