For a long time, I used to believe that the sun went inside the earth during sunset and then walked the whole night before rising again at the horizon in the east. Then, in later years at school, I learnt that the earth is round. That set off a train load of questions inside my little head. How did the people on the other side of the world remain standing? Why doesnโt the water in the seas fall off? If the earth is round, why does it appear flat? Childโs mind is dizzy Questions abound inside the head.. This world of wonder.

I think the same questions go through the mind of every child when they learn facts.
