प्रश्न

Given a chance, any adult would wish to become a child again for many reasons. Fill the boxes with some of what you imagine could be the reasons.

e.g. I need not worry about project deadlines.      
I can wear my pajamas the whole day.      
I can sleep as long as I like.      
तक्ता

उत्तर

e.g. I need not worry about project deadlines. As man advances in years he ceases to be innocent. Man doesn’t show his real feelings. He reveals only that part of his personality that is worthy of acceptance.
I can wear my pajamas the whole day. As everyone involves in a “make-believe” relationship, even good people are forced to wear masks, for the sake of keeping links alive. The face is no more the index of the mind. It is inscrutable. Even loud laughter could conceal a plot to topple.
I can sleep as long as I like. People keep on changing their face masks like dresses. We don’t know who are our real friends. If we are frank, we gain real enemies and false friends.
