“Kids are more resilient than adults. They can bounce back from hurtful situations. At most, they will cry until it stops hurting. But adults aren't like that. They can't cry easily. The scars from the hurtful times often ache at unreasonable moments of life. They can't smile like kids either. Unlike the kids, adults can barely be optimistic about a bright future. They already know that life is more about winters than springs. So, they compromise. Often, an adult learns to be happy even during the cold winters. But the adult is never too happy. The unfiltered happiness that only a kid can show becomes something of a utopian myth for an adult. So, when an adult sees a kid who can smile without any hesitation, they often try to smile along with the kid.”

“Don't be cruel to someone unless you are left with no choice. Your actions might become the final strikes on that person's soul who is already on the verge of breaking.”

“You shouldn't confess until you can't hold yourself back anymore. You might get over it or you will reach a point when you can't keep it in your heart anymore. Both are equally painful, my dear. Whether it's about getting over love or pursuing one-sided love, one needs to walk the path of thorns.”

“Make decisions after you know all the cards. Sometimes, people make the wrong decisions because they have never known what the right ones are. They believe what they know to be right. Only certain colours exist in their world because life experiences have blinded to other colours. My son, you have to take away the blindfold if you must.”
