As the years of my life passed, I realised that Newton had once said very truly, "Everything that goes up must come down". My journey started just from the very moment I was born.

(20) We found girls to spend all our money on.
(21) We got ourselves out of those girls` hearts and then from the college.
(22) We dreamt of being a Roadie.

I worked hard, got them into good colleges.
Their frequency of talks with us reduced drastically.
They started avoiding us.
Our presence in front of their colleagues embarrassed them then.
I got them married.

It is now when I realise that those were the first and the last twenty years of my life which I actually lived. Life resembles a chemical reaction. It has stable ends at both ends. Only the reaction occurs high.
