  Here I briefly discuss why supersymmetry is considered a leading candidate of
physics beyond the standard model. I also highlight the salient features of
different supersymmetry breaking models. A few other symmetries, broken or
intact, asscociated with any realistic supersymmetric model are also
identified. This write-up is too simple-minded for an expert on supersymmetry.
It is basically intended for those who are busy in other areas of high energy
physics.
