Question
Imagine that the ancestor from 1910 (AD) visits Neel in his dream. Compose a dialogue between the two about the various gadgets the visitor sees in Neel’s room.
Solution
(Neel is sleeping peacefully and his ancestor Mahesh from 1910 visits him in his dream)
Mahesh: | Hello, Neel, my name is Mahesh. Do you know who I am? |
Neel: | Mahesh was my great-great grandfather's name. I hope I remember correctly. |
Mahesh: | Yes, you're right. I'm indeed your great great grandfather. I wanted to see how you were doing. As far as I can see, you don't like cleaning your room any more than I did. |
Neel: | I'm doing good, and yes, Mom has been asking me to clean my room all day today. I don't like doing it because nobody enters my room beside me. But now that you've come to see me, I'll tidy it up as fast as I can. |
Mahesh: | You're a good boy, Neel. You're more obedient than I ever was. But what are all these objects in your hands? |
Neel: | They're just my gadgets. Would you like to see them? |
Mahesh: | I have never seen anything like these, tell me more. What are these round things? |
Neel: | These are called headphones. We use them to listen to music anywhere we want. |
Mahesh: | Wow, we only had a gramophone to listen to music when I was your age. |
Neel: | That's exactly what these are, small gramophones that you can take along with you. |
Mahesh: | And what's this small block they're connected to? |
Neel: | It's called a mobile phone. It's just like a telephone, but you can also take along it with you. |
Mahesh: | It looks more complicated than that. What else does it do? |
Neel: | You can also take pictures, play the radio, set an alarm, and even watch movies. |
Mahesh: | Does this little block do all this? No wonder your generation is so smart. |
Neel: | I wish you had all these gadgets in your time too, Grandpa. |
Mahesh: | We don't need these objects to have fun. Our times were simpler and much easier. But promise me one thing, Neel. Never let such objects take control of your life. Happiness comes from inside you, not from things outside. It comes from the people you love around you. |
Neel: | I promise, Grandpa. I will always treasure my loved ones more than material things. |
Mahesh: | That is all I had to tell you, son. I will go back now. Be a good boy. You have my blessings. |
Neel: | Thank you so much, Grandpa. I will always remember your advice and keep my word. |
