00:17Somebody comes and tells you, but you are sad and you say, Oh, am I sad?

00:20I just forgot that.

00:21Somebody comes and tells you, you have not had meals since the last 36 hours.

00:38Now that you have reminded me, I've also started feeling hungry.

00:42But for the last 36 hours, hunger didn't matter.
