Two questions
1. Hi, man what happened, why are you so gloomy
2. Can we go for a ride
I selected this question to know about his current mode. The objective of the first question is to understand the current problem faced by my friend. May or may not he will disclose what happened to him. The second question I asked for making a change to his current mode, I know he likes to travel, so if I call him for the ride, he will surely come.
