All of us are products of our childhood.

Have you seen my childhood? I'm searching for the world that I came from cause I've been looking around in the lost and found of my heart.

It's been my fate to compensate for the childhood I've never known.

I was born in a very poor family. I used to sell tea in a railway coach as a child. My mother used to wash utensils and do lowly housework in the houses of others to earn a livelihood. I have seen poverty very closely. I have lived in poverty. As a child, my entire childhood was steeped in poverty. For me, poverty - in a way - was the first inspiration in my life.

John could write a mean song. He had a lot of venom in him. Whereas I had a happy childhood.

Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all.
