Lyricist, poet and acclaimed writer Javed Akhtar turned 63 on yesterday. Javed announced the arrival of youth in his life by bringing comical comparisons with various instances of age.
Says Javed Akhtar, “Sixty-three is exactly two years short of sixty-five. I am still young. When you define age, it is always your age plus ten years. For instance, when you were 15, you always felt that the 25- year-old girl was old.
At 35, the 45-year-old woman seemed over the hill and so on. I think the person who is 73 is really old.”
