  1. The number twelve instantly gives a picture of time, the clock. When the clock strikes 12 all the hands become one. It could be possible that this symbolizes unity,coming together.


  2. ll

  3. the one thig that the 2 guests have missed is the relavance of the the number 12.
    It is said to have cosmic ignificance since most changes occur either by the number 12 or by a multtiple of it. for eg 12months to a year, 24 hours a day, he Famed Kumbha ela happens once in 12 years and so on.

  4. In his poem 'Keeping Quiet' Pablo Neruda advises the reader to stop what he is doing for just a few minutes and devote that time to a quite introspection. These few moments free from the cares of the world, dedicated to understanding one's inner and true self may be a way to prevent all the wrong in the world. Instead of finding fault in others or declaring war or harming the environment, these few moments would build a better place. Neruda sees an example in nature itself - all the world comes to a standstill during the winter season when everything is quiet, calm and white. Then in the spring the earth blooms again, all the better having seemingly introspected in the time of inactivity. This however, must not be confused with total inactivity.
