Your Five Childhoods

    _ Sahil Shàrífdíñ Ëñglísh 

Your life is over the moment your childhood is over.  You may continue living even after your childhood is over but that life will be similar to the game of a cricketer who is expected to score fifty runs out of six balls –  he knows his playing is useless but he must complete the game.  

The good news is that you don't have just one childhood . On the contrary,  you have five childhoods . You lose the first childhood when you become 12 years old. You lose the second childhood when you begin to doubt God , Heaven and Hell. You lose the third childhood when you  begin to understand the  bitterness and the  danger behind  sweet smiles  and sweet words of the people around you. Your fourth childhood is over when you begin to live the life of your choice and people begin to trouble you. Your fifth childhood disappears when you get married. 

Once these five childhoods are over , it really doesn't matter whether you are outside or inside your  grave .
