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.

According to some experts, a staggering 93 percent of our daily communication is non-verbal. Facial expressions are easy to decipher. One can readily detect happiness, sadness, anger. Physicians can tell a patient is doing well (or not) by looking at his/her face. Eye contact is another type of non-verbal communication, which can tell a lot about the other person. The eyes convey a range of emotions-happiness, sadness, boredom, surprise, confidence .......... even emotional interest. Staring at someone's forehead may intimidate the recipient, staring at the mouth is sometimes interpretated as a sign of emotional interest. In fact, staring into someone's eyes is a sign of lying, and so is looking away. In certain cultures, lack of eye contact is taken as a sign of respect. If body language is to be defined, it is a combination of facial expression, gestures, eye contact, body movements and posture and voice. Frequent blinking is a sign of the person feeling distressed or uncomfortable. If the pupils are dilated, it ofter indicates interest, even emotional interest. The lips also reflect our body language, and lip biting indicates worry and/or anxiety; tightening of the lips may be an indication of disapproval. Slightly turned-up lips indicate happiness and slightly turned-down lips indicate sadness. |
