Bond Quote by Samuthirakani
“Till he's five, a son dotes on his father; at 10, the father represents torture; at 15, he's a pain; at 20, he means nothing; at 25, there's a yawning gap in the bond. But, the 20 years of non-relationship disappear once the child becomes a father. He realises what he's missed out on, what it means to be a father. Sometimes, it's too late.”
