42. Night

I was in a small village in Bhind district, Madhya Pradesh.
We were sitting comfortably in an open space in front of a small house and chatting with the household members.
I saw him then.


"What is his age?" I asked.
"Hmm.. he is already in the night of his life," someone explained to me.

What a term!
Night of life!
And how true!!

  2. It all depends upon what kind of life you lead and who you are.

    I have seen wizened persons looking so old and it is a surprize to find that their actual age is much closer to me. It makes me feel guilty!

  4. Sunilbhai, I agree with you. Some people due to the hardships in life tend to grow old faster!
