Q1 Though repeating again points for sleeping faster is not applicable universally. Healthy bodies do not need any exercises. Those who work hard go to sleep immediately as women who are doing the house-chore the whole day. Diseased and aged cannot sleep as they once did; they may sleep in the late hours and wake up early too. Counting numbers and exercises will not apply in the majority. Q2 Perfect from the point of view of good people. However even old clothes must be well washed and worn; old age parent must be taken care of, subject to there is no slide in other activities; simple living does not mean that you shall not hold higher position or earning lot of money, but pomp must be avoided transferring he ego; old "friends' (truly friends) must be taken care if approached only but not chasing around as their self-respect shall not be wounded as seen between Sudama and Krishna. Q4 Where is honesty here? Yes, the Doctor was a human. Mr Singh had the money to repay in time which shows his gratitude. Q5 i AND RUSSIA TOO ii WhyLos angeles only?; shoulder to shoulder 500 sq miles enough. ix The place with the longest single word is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu . at 85 letters, this Māori name for a hill in New Zealand is often truncated to Taumata. Q6 A topper always remained a topper because she did the homework better than others and others missed a few points which others did not know; karma is another. It's a pep talk ;and may rarely some one may beart the topper later. Q7 Good one though history has so many like that. KR IRS 5923
