I phoned her whether she would be able to come to see me.  I wondered if I might be turned down, but instead my request was wonderfully accorded to.  I was wondering how could it happen in spite I was hoping it to be happened that way.  She never responded to me like she did that day.  I was afraid she could refuse to my request.  I was thinking, knowing her indifferent attitude towards me, she might have got som

Yes, you can use the past progressive/continuous or past simple tense to make a request or suggestion sound more polite, for example, you can say "I was wondering/I wondered if you could comment on my blog", instead of saying "You should try to comment on my blog". 

In addition to 'I was wondering/I wondered', you could use 'I was hoping', 'I was thinking' or 'I thought' instead of 'I hope' or 'I think' to express politeness. That is to say, the past simple or progressive tense can have present o

Life is a song; for some it’s a short song and for some it’s a very long song but for everyone it has both sad and happy melody. A song should be sung otherwise it’s in vain.

After walking around the city for some time, they went to a big mall and were dumbfounded when they saw the two walls that could move apart and slide back together again.

The girl asked her father, "Oh, father, what is this?" 

The father who had never seen an elevator before said, "I have never seen anything like this before, my dear
