उत्तर
Welcome to the magical fairyland of Twatsa. The Mother Fairy, Tossamer Walfrost lives in butterfly islands and insect grottos. All around the wonderland are swift bubbling streams of treacle, cascading from hillocks of orange marmalade. The candy floss flowers invite butterflies with transparent wings. Once in a while, across the dark chocolate sky, shooting stars are seen. They drip and fall on land covered in caramel wafer. Little gnomes, goblins, and elves fly swiftly visiting children in their dreams. The mermaids in the sugary seas use doughnuts to keep them from drowning. And somewhere, sometimes a dreamy kid makes castles of walnut and kennel for his pet in this fairyland of Twatsa.

(1) The author's new house was situated at Bangalore.

One of the advantages of growing up in an Army household was the frequency with which we moved. 'Postings' came with predictable regularity every three years. What was unpredictable and therefore exciting was the suspense. Where would we go this time? Ambala, Pune, Dehradun, Allahabad, Tejpur, Bangalore, Yo! ............ In my short span of thirteen years we had moved lock. stock and barrel eleven times!
Every move meant change. New journeys, new places, new schools, my new books, new uniforms, new friends and new houses. We lived in tents, bashas, Nissen huts, flats and bungalows. No matter what the shape and size of the dwelling, mother soon put her own special stamp on it and transformed it into a familiar place - our home - complete with bright yellow-curtains, coffee-brown carpet, assorted pictures, hanging ferns and potted palms - providing a comforting sense of continuity in our essentially nomadic life.
I was thirteen, the year we moved to the Cantonment at Allahabad. In stark contrast to the razzle-dazzle of the city's commercial areas like Katra and Chowk, the Cantonment was a quiet, orderly place with broad tree-lined roads that still carried the names of long-dead Britishers. Our bungalow was on a sleepy by-lane called MacPherson Road. When we first saw it, my brothers and I were delighted. It was by far the biggest house we had ever lived in. The task of furnishing those huge, echoing rooms daunted Mother.
