Time and tide waits for no woman
Remember the Story of Gautam Buddha.
At the age of 29, Siddhartha left his palace to meet his subjects. Despite his father's efforts to hide from him the sick, aged and suffering, Siddhartha was said to have seen an old man. When his charioteer Channa explained to him that all people grew old, the prince went on further trips beyond the palace. On these he encountered a diseased man, a decaying corpse, and an ascetic. These depressed him, and he initially strove to overcome ageing, sickness, and death by living the life of an ascetic.
Accompanied by Channa and aboard his horse Kanthaka, Gautama quit his palace for the life of a mendicant. It's said that, "the horse's hooves were muffled by the gods" to prevent guards from knowing of his departure.
To all film bluffs yesteryears, the picture below just goes to prove what Gautam saw and felt.
No Elixir or the best of potions made by Shanaaz Hussain or any other manufacturers who tout their ware can stop this process
