Have we ever thought why we all get attracted to something or other in every phase of life. When we are child we get attracted by the form of beautiful dolls,toys thinking that will satisfy our senses completely but when we little grow up and enter the adolescence period we get enchanted by the form of opposite sex and wanted to spend time with them. In mid age we get attracted to sophisticated cars, a posh lifestyle, money , big home and when youth fades away we get attracted to if not anything
