Everyone wishes that their age stops growing post 21 or 23 or 25 at the max, but the moment we blow out the candles of our birthdays, the same opportunity arises after 12 months and seems like a blink. No wonder nobody likes their first grey hair or those tiny fine lines, and while there are no time machines now that can stop time for people, thank God for scientists.
