I don’t know what it is to be Young

Orson Welles what a great person whom I admired the most. When I watched his unforgettable film “Citizen Kane” I may not have realised its entire potential back then.

Ever since, I have been learning from this ubiquitous film in search of “rosebud”. Only such a brilliant, creative and imaginative person could have produced these distinguished craft.

I also remember vividly and continue to listen to the soothing song “I know what it is to be young”. Written by Jerry Abbott in 1984 and recited by legendary Orson Welles is a timeless reflection and hence repeatedly resonates in my ears.

It captures the essence of youth and passage of time, painting a picture of youthful exuberance and the inevitable march of time. It reminds us to cherish the present and to learn from the past.

Sincerely what do you think? Do we know what it is to be young? Is past and present comparable? Everything that has been touched has evolved. Turnaround continues at an accelerated pace.
