This is not very tough dear.. try using symmetry.. then take small sections.. along the line of symmetry
I hope this hint suffices?
btw a user on our site.. skygirl has solved this one.. and wud upload the solution.. so u could wait for that.. but i suggest that you should try solving this one on ur own!
