Queries Galore!!

Research is in full swing over the type of questions children ask and the reasons behind them. Often, even adults ask questions that fellow adults term as “childish”. Research also informs us about the child in the adult and so on and so forth. I have a few questions too but I don’t know who is the right person to answer them. The ‘right” here is very important, since some of them could be quite touchy and could perhaps require a bit of knowledge, maturity, understanding and sincerity. The four values that I do not find too much in spite of the so-called information revolution.
