    1. Why do the trees keep moving backwards when our car keeps moving forward?
    Similarly, I wondered why we saw parallax looking out the side window, that is, why distant trees appear to move slower and are overtaken by nearer trees.

    2.How language came into existence and who accepted it and named it as English,Hindi or whatsoever?
    Similarly, I wondered how we can understand any spoken language at all since foreign languages sound like gibberish.

    Gosh! I thought this would be easy. I know I wondered about lots of things that no one else cared about. But I'm having difficulty remembering any of them.

    Though I remember being firmly convinced that when I grew up I was going to own 1) a computer and 2) a nuclear reactor. Adults thought they were equally ludicrous.
