One of the mysteries and beauties of Sikkim is the Tshangu lake, high above the ground. At approximately 12,000 feet, up in the mountains, is this clean and serene lake. Hundreds of colourful Maruti vans (these seem to be the favourite cars here) flit up and down the mountains carrying excited tourists. Tshangu lake is absolutely clean and fresh, no one is allowed to enter it, no boating, nor throwing anything. There is a small temple of Shiva (Shiva is known as Tshangu here, hence the name of the lake). The China border is just about thirty yards away but one is forbidden to take pictures of that side, nor is one allowed to go there. Army personnel man the border and they also keep track of the cars and the people who go up and down the mountains.A thick mist suddenly flows at any time hence tourists are asked to go down to the plains before noon especially as winter sets in as it can be quite dangerous. The twists and turns on the mountain side are quite sharp.The main animal here is the yak, a long haired placid animal, more a cousin of the horse and the donkey and yak rides are the favourite pastime for children.Photography is forbidden there because |
| A. | it is a sacred place |
| B. | there is a thick mist surrounding the area |
| C. | the China border is just thirty yards away and therefore secrecy is maintained |
| D. | it is difficult due to uneven terrain |

The American soldiers were digging shallow trenches right in the middle of the track. Chinhohong wondered what they were up to. Surely, they were not digging slit trenches in the middle of the open track. But their purpose was soon apparent. They were obviously putting down AP mines and laying body trap wires along the track. Fascinated, Chinhohong watched the little khaki figures working with the jerky movements of mechanical toys. In no time at all, they had put in half a dozen brass AP mines and laid several strands of trip wire across the track. Then they had put back the earth and the leaves on the road to make the surface look undisturbed. They finished off soon after nine and then posting a sentry on either side of the bend they began to dig their foxholes on the opposite slope of the hill. Methodically, putting their heads close to the ground, they cleared the intervening undergrowth to give their guns an unrestricted field of fire. Their purpose was clear. They would sit in their foxholes, guarding the track, and ambush any enemy troops that happened to be walking along the track.On the opposite slope of hill, they began to dig: |
| A. | Loopholes |
| B. | Black holes |
| C. | Vixenholes |
| D. | Foxholes |
| E. | None of these |
| Answer» E. None of these | |

Osho retells a Sumatran legend. “God created man and woman together, with joined bodies, so that each was a couple. But it became burdensome. If the husband wanted to go north, the wife was unwilling, so the bodies would have to be dragged together. Or vice versa! It was such a problem that God decided to divide them. But then they got lost in the wide world.' Sumatrans still believe that each one has a partner somewhere, and that people are forever seeking him or her.Osho narrates a Christian story Adam was very alone and depressed. He asked God for a companion, so God created a woman. God asked Adam, “What will you call her?” Adam was ecstatic to have someone to talk, to love, to relate with! He said he'd call her ‘Eve’, ‘Eva’, ‘Havva’. “Why?”, asked God. Adam said, 'Because that means life. She is my life, without her, I was nearly dead”.When deeply in love, a woman becomes God for the man, and vice versa, though ultimately they are just two manifestations of one soul. They are soul mates. The flipside: Often men and women meet and get so fascinated with each other that they think they have found their soul mates. Then they start living together and find that they are living with the wrong person! Such is the power of imagination that takes love to such peaks, only to throw it into abysmal valleys later!What is the belief of Sumatrans? |
| A. | Everyone has an enemy |
| B. | Everyone has a partner |
| C. | Everyone has a friend. |
| D. | Everyone has a lover. |
| E. | None of these |
| Answer» B. Everyone has a partner | |

Etiquette is the unwritten code that governs social behaviour. Etiquette reflects formulas of conduct in which society or tradition have invested. Western etiquette tells people to greet friends and acquaintances with warmth and respect, refrain from insults and curiosity, offer hospitality equally to guests, wear clothing suited to the occasion, talk properly, eat neatly and quietly, avoid disturbing others, follow the rules of an organisation, arrive promptly when expected, comfort the bereaved, and respond to invitations promptly.Violations of etiquette can cause public disgrace, and in private hurt individual feelings, create misunderstandings or real grief and pain.Some people feel etiquette to be an unnecessary restriction of freedom of personal expression. However, wearing pajamas to a wedding in a cathedral may be an expression of the guest's freedom, but may also cause the bride and groom to suspect that the guest is expressing amusement or disparagement towards them and their wedding.Etiquette is dependent on culture; what is excellent etiquette in one society may shock in another. Etiquette can vary widely between different cultures and nations. In China, a person who takes the last item of food from a common plate without offering it to others at the table is seen as a glutton whilst in most European cultures he is expected to eat all the food given to them, as a compliment to the cooking. In some societies it is considered disgusting to eat with the left hand, and left handed individuals are sometimes forced to use their right hand. Recently, internet has created Netiquette, which governs the drafting of e-mail, rules for participating in online forums, and so on.- Bhuvan's JournalMarch 31, 2007Fill up the most appropriate word: Social behaviour ____ by the unwritten code. Etiquette. |
