Just for you!

Was searching for perfect lines for the art I tried my hands long time back. I felt nothing else can go together with the picture, so thought of posting my artistry immediately!



Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.

Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile and say how perfect it is.

Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry and pick you up and take you to the park to play.

Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.



Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.

Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.

Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.

Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.

Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.



Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.

Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.

Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.

Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favourite TV shows.

Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.

I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms. The mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly and screaming inside that little body

And when I kiss you goodnight I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for
nothing, except one more day..............

Ticketless Travel :)

You thought software guys have big bucks and ticketless travel is a far cry for them right ? I am one who proved you wrong :)

I happened to have a quick snack one evening at Ascendas, an expensive ice cream, cheesy steamed corn and concluded with an iced milk shake. Just an hour of chit chat with friends over the snacks and whoof goes about 500 bucks! But then who cares hmmm ??!

My plan was to get back to office (my bike was there and I had got to Ascendas with my friend on his bike) and get back home. Office being just two stops away from Ascendas, Tidel park to be precise; I decided to take the train to reach the office. Accompanied by my colleague, I reached the station and thankfully a train pulled off almost immediately. In the panic to not board the ladies compartment, I almost forgot that there is one thing called a TICKET to travel by the train! But then, my colleague was keeping her cool, being a regular traveller herself, and pointed fingers towards the ticket counter. The queue before the ticket counter was a small (!! where the hell is everyone going at that late hour huh!) one with 20 people in the line!

So now the situation is get the ticket and miss the train...hmmm...I quickly weighed the pros and cons and decided to opt to travel without the ticket and boarded the train ! Just two stops, just two minutes but it looked like two decades and I was already waiting near foot board to jump out of the train immediately it reaches the station. Finally, the train reached my stop and there I was, quickly getting out of the training and running to catch the lift as if the flight will take off any moment...

Once I reached the outside of the station, I sighed a big relief and my panting became normal. I was standing in a new world (only the same old area but I visualized differently).

Finally, I managed to get away with a ticketless travel and avoid the embarassment of getting caught, fined and who knows there would have even been a news on the next day...all tamil dailies flashing the interesting story about a software team lead's ticketless travel !!
