<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Navaratri , The Nine Nights of Celebrating the Hindu Goddesses Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswathi. Golu is the festive display of dolls, mostly comprising the dolls of Gods to bring in their divine presence to home. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2 Days before Navaratri ,out of the blue the thought of having our first golu struck as the workload had eased out for the next 3 weeks! For once the husband and me knew our work schedule . The Husband got really excited that he picked up the bag and said "Let's go Bommai (doll) Shopping at Malleshwaram😃".The Parents and In-Laws were totally surprised and excited to know, that's because Mum and the Mum-in-law could not accommodate the golu in their hectic work schedule.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So hubby and I thought we would start small by having 3 steps, as golu ought to have odd numbered stair setup. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hubby and Me got the dolls for initial setup,Mum and Dad set of to Mylapore in chennai to get few more dolls before their travel to our home in Bangalore , FIL helped with some heavy lifting of the stand and its setup , MIL found out a super glittery Saree for the stair and The Grandma-In-Law(Granny K) & me had a detailed conversation about arranging dolls , prasadams , navaratri gifts and all the age old practices to be followed for the next Ten days !!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Tadaaaaaaa......!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hola !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A Chennaite being a beach person is no surprise :) You have lived in complete love with the Bay of Bengal all your life (okay 23 years) and suddenly when you start living in a city (Bengaluru) that is nowhere near the coast makes you crave for those beach vacations </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So here I was craving for a beach vacation and finally made it to Coast of the Arabian Sea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Murdeshwara is the place where there is this majestic statue of "The Mahadev" ! He sits as the King of the Arabian sea . Said to be the 2nd largest statue of Shiva in the world, His temple tower is a beauty and the view from the temple tower is a feast for the eye. Take a look at it yourself </span><br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I stood there embracing every second of this view .. letting it sink into me and stay with me for a very long time to come 😊</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Isn't she majestic to watch ... true to the words "<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;">As </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #6a6a6a;">endless</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;"> as the ocean, as </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #6a6a6a;">timeless</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;"> as the tides</span></b></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">" </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">she gives you relaxation beyond infinity </span></span></div>

Little Manu ran out to the porch in a sincere effort to deafen himself from the screams of his parents.. Radha and Raghav had been married for 15 years now and their thirteen year old son felt they were no more in love like the couples he saw in movies. The screaming and fighting had become a routine in the morning hours now. It was the summer holidays and Manu was home. He could not escape from being an audience to this scene everyday now. He tightly shut his ears and eyes not knowing what to do .. Suddenly he remembered Priya Athai (meaning aunty). Priya was Raghav's sister and had narrated a lot of fun and love stories about Manu's parents to him before.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Manu sneaked out Raghav's mobile and dialled Priya. He explained the situation at home sobbing and asking Priya if those stories he told her were ever true ...Priya promised to set things right.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was Radha and Raghav's 16th year wedding anniversary that day. Manu and Priya were ready to execute their plan.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Manu went to Radha's bedroom first he played a song softly in her ears from the mobile. Radha smiled and slowly opened her eyes remembering that was the song Raghav sang when he proposed to her in college for the first time and always sang that to comfort her and make her smile until the first few years of their marriage. She took the mobile from Manu , hugged him and sat in bed with a tear rolling down her cheek.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Manu next went to Raghav he tickled his father's foot while he continued to laugh loudly with excitement. Raghav got up swiftly from bed saying "Radha stop it am up am up". Smiling broadly he said "My sweet cute lil wifey , You never change don't you ?" As he opened his eyes and scanned the room he found little Manu and not Radha. The smile on his face faded and he sat there in deep thought.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Around 10.00 am that morning Priya came home and asked Radha and Raghav to get ready for a surprise from her and Manu. Priya drove the couple to their college campus. She took them to the same tree where the couple had carved out their names on the bark of a tree. Priya and Manu clicked pictures of the couple whilst they attempted to rekindle the spark in their love life. She then drove them to their favourite coffee shop and to the same place Radha and Raghav used to sit for hours and talk. Priya let them be alone and took Manu to the play area. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Radha and Raghav sat in silence for a while reminiscing the lovely old days. Both were not sure who made the first move but in few minutes the held hands to <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>#BringBackTheTouch</b> and they realized what they lost in this mechanical routine of life. With a silent promise to each each other to make life better for them and their son Manu they left home as a happy family.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">I've been missing from the blog for more than a month .. The Indiblogger rank had slipped from 54 to 37 in the new year. The posts written stayed in the blog for a long time and finally gets posted on IndiBlogger today !</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">So the reason that I've been missing is that I've had a tough time WRITING my first set of postgraduate EXAMS.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Two years of just keyboard and keying had made me so lazy to sit for 3hrs (O_o) and write during an examination. After which I had settled in for a long break , I mean a really longgg break. That is when the home was cleaned, reconnecting with friends took place , some good amount of reading , relaxing and a great amount of creative exploring happened </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the end of my exploration is when I found this MomentCam app on the Google play store and got the husband and me cartooned</span></span><br />

He was ill , his heart had a massive block and his hopes kept fading<br />
But still, he kept striving for our well being<br />
A father who loved everything less than his daughter<br />
A husband with fading breath promising his wife he would live longer<br />
A man not ashamed of his own tears<br />
held my hand and spoke to me about all his fears<br />
All alone in the operating room, with his little girl as his last thought<br />
He awakened knowing all had gone well, his battle with God he had fought<br />
Yesterday, Today , Tomorrow<br />
He was , is and will always be there to see his little girl grow<br />
<br />
Happy Birthday Dad<br />
Long live dear APPA :)</div>

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Ayuthaya;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Remember
the school days, when the excursion to the zoo was common? You oooeed
and aaahddd at the birdies and animals there. The days when you
pulled your dad ( Remember am a Girl so its usually the father ) to
every cage at the zoo to see what's there and mom came panting behind
as she held the heavy picnic bag tightly in her hands....Feeling
Nostalgic ? aaaahhh exactly the same laughter , excitement and
fun but YESTERDAY it was with THE HUSBAND instead of dad at
Bannerghatta ;-)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Ayuthaya;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"> <span style="font-family: Ayuthaya;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He
had long promised to take me to the zoo and today he decided to
fulfil it !</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Ayuthaya;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Ayuthaya;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"> <span style="font-family: Ayuthaya;"><span style="font-size: medium;">What
did I do ? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Ayuthaya;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He
says am his KID though am 24 years old in my version and 23 according
to him so I behaved like a well mannered kid at the zoo (*_^)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Ayuthaya;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"> <span style="font-family: Ayuthaya;"><span style="font-size: medium;">First
was the Safari (Bear, Tiger and the Lion) he got me the first
seat next to the driver in the safari van and that is when I went
wheeeeee on the inner side as I remembered the driver warning us that
loud noise can alarm animals !!!!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Ayuthaya;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"> <span style="font-family: Ayuthaya;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Then
I pulled him to all parts of the zoo got him to run, laugh ,
enjoy with me , wait patiently whilst I kept clicking and also
gave him ample opportunities to pull my legs :P</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Ayuthaya;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Some
clicks to share !</span></span></span></div>

Yesterday ... !<br />
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: 0cm;">
<span style="text-indent: 0cm;">It was Friday evening and I was all
set to leave office when my watch beeped to signal it was 6.00 pm . Happily
shutting down my Mac and bidding good bye to my colleagues I picked my things
and strode out of office. As I reached the door and stepped out in the open I
was welcomed by a gush of cold wind on my face. It was one of those lightened
yet gloomy Bangalorean sky. With music plugged in I headed to the bus stop ,
this time not my regular one. I was heading to our other home at the far end of
the city as my husband wanted me to come over there for the weekend. I usually
get back home to my in-laws but not this day.. my journey back home was going
to be longer. I boarded one of those dynamic red Volvo’s and settled happily in
a seat near the window, not coz I was obsessed with window seat in an AC bus
but the view would be clear to keep myself entertained in what was going to be
a nearly two and a half our journey. The bus seemed to move at snails pace as I
was travelling out of one of those famous IT jungles of the city. As I stared
out of the window dreaming vaguely and staring at some point in the sky absent
mindedly a rain drop hit the glass window of the bus. My playlist seemed to be
in sync with the weather, my mom’s favorite song started playing , A song she
always loved and wanted to sing to me. I usually call her whilst leaving office
to let her know I was going home so she wouldn’t have to worry living in
Chennai for her kid’s safety. For some reason I did not call her this eve.. I dozed
of dreaming about the rainy days of my childhood when I used to hold the window
bars and blow droplets off while I kept an eye out for the sign of mom or dad’s
arrival from work.. Memories of mom’s hot pakodas or bajjis reminded me of my
hungry tummy rumbling yet I went on with my dreams.. those good old days when
mom and me had fun picking up mangoes in our backyard that came crashing
on the muddy ground during stormy evenings.. the times when she held me close
and tight when a thunder struck believing I would get scared .. I was never
afraid but I enjoyed her warmth which she never knew.. dad would come home and
I would rush free from her asking him for a motor boat ride on his scooter
which gave the boat ride effect in stagnant water. He never complained , he
would take me for a ride even during the down pour with both of us wearing our
respective duckback raincoats. We both would come back after the ride singing
loudly out of tune and enjoy watching TV together with mom. </span><span style="text-indent: 0cm;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0cm;">Smiling to myself I was suddenly shaken out of
my dreams when my mobile rang ..it was MOM !</span></div>

Where in the world are you now ?? she
yelled .. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: 0cm;">
I responded “on the bus back home mom”
sheepishly <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: 0cm;">
Can’t you even call and tell me that
what were you even thinking ? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: 0cm;">
Sorry mom .. It’s raining here and I
kept dreaming of your hot bajjis <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: 0cm;">
She laughed and became silent .. I
knew what she felt.. I started my rants about office .. I dint want her to feel
bad. I ranted for almost an hour until I reached home partly drenched intentionally , had dinner and went to
bed expecting dear hubby to come home early . He gently woke me up and the
first question he asks me : hey Did you call MOM today ?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: 0cm;">
Yeah I spoke to her … She called me !<o:p></o:p></div>

Now go ahead read it :)<br />

<br />
Six months from the day of engagement
each day had brought me closer to him. Now Husband and Wife for 2 weeks we are
not one of those strange couples coming together after an Arranged Marriage. I
knew him well and one such thing about him is : If he does not plan it now then
I need to be ready to support him during his Emergency Planning phase in the
future. Everything including the destination was decided and planned ? did we ?
fine lemme call it planning just 4 days before the journey !!<o:p></o:p></div>

26<sup>th</sup> of May , Sunday
afternoon Arjun and me were on our flight to the Paradise island ~ Ceylon aka Sri
Lanka. An hour and a half journey we were there and from the moment of landing
till our departure we were swept away by the warmth and serenity of the
country.<o:p></o:p></div>

From the airport we drove to the city
of Kandy the second largest city of the country in the Central Province of
Lanka and home to Buddha’s Temple of Tooth Relic. Driving into the Color and
Lights of the city we were swept by the beauty of the creative lanterns and
pandols that adorned every home, buildings and roads of the city. It was then
we got to know that in May the Vesak (Buddha’s Birthday) was celebrated and
lanterns were lit to pay homage to the birth , enlightenment and death of Lord
Buddha. A blissful night at the Thilanka Resort where we were welcomed with the
freshly brewed Ceylone tea. The next day a Visit to the Temple of Tooth Relic
and then Elephant Safari followed by a visit to the Pinnewala Elephant
orphanage ! then the wood carving and batik making centres. <o:p></o:p></div>

Next couple of days was pure
relaxation at the Cocoon resort. Playing in the gently lapping waves of the
Indian Ocean we spent time on the warm shores and soft beach sand of Beruwala &
Bentota. Here we had been to a turtle hatchery where we played with one year
old turtles ! Boat safari in the estuary of Madu ganga which houses 64 islands.
During the ride we watched a boatman pull out a Jelly fish alive to show off ,
got a glimpse of the water monitor lizard and King fishers waiting patiently
for their fish prey, prawn fishing, Fish spa in the middle of the river from
hundreds of small fishes, we caught hold of a baby crocodile in our hands ,
visiting an island with the Buddhist monastery where a monk showed us an 150
year old book made out of palm leaves, another island where only one family
lived to make products from cinnamon, another island that had 250 families living in it
and was connected to the mainland via a bridge, in and out of the mangrove
forest we finally saw the place where the river enters the sea at Balapitiya.<o:p></o:p></div>

headed for the sunset view from Global Towers our resort that stared upon the
ocean front. Stepping out into the balcony from our room on the third floor it
was a breath taking view of the ocean, sunset and strong winds that could blow
one of the feet. Tempted we walked to the beach to play with the waves and
golden sand. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
The day had finally arrived. After 6 months of waiting here we were to begin our life together.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The Tam-Brahm Wedding. . . !!!</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>May 11th Morning : </b><br />
This day , I woke up early not from sleep but from bed all excited... my big weekend !! sorry our big weekend :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Our car moved in slowly through the gates of our marriage hall. The contractor alerted his team at the hall yelling that the bride has arrived. The music began as I stepped out and waited while my mom and aunty took aarathi.<br />
<br />
<b>Maapillai Azhaipu and vratham ~ Welcoming the groom and fasting :</b><br />
The rituals began with me having to fast for two hours :p Then I waited to hear the sound of nadaswaram and melam which would announce the arrival of the bridegroom. I sat there patiently after surrendering to my beautician . An hour later I heard the arrival of my hero... my aunts and cousins rushed in to give me the news " maplai vandachu ".<br />
<br />
<b>Nischayathartham:</b><br />
After his fast and pooja they called me out for our nischayathartham ( formal engagement ). Aaaah the long wait to catch a glimpse of him and his smile that sweeps me off completely came to an end. A big thank you to the photographer who brought us close for the first click of the day. During the nischayathartham he sat next to me pulling my legs like he usually does. The same dialog I was used to hearing in these 6 months of being engaged to him " Suji I can't be myself if I dont tease you... Can't work, eat , sleep etc etc properly ... " . Those are the words which I love and hate completely .. Oxymoron !!<br />
<br />
<b>May 11th Evening : Reception</b><br />
Our Reception began with a delay ... 3 hours of wishes and smiles pouring in to bless our new start. Then we moved on to our dinner. Our relatives gently paved way for the two of us to have our moments together. A small walk in the lawn and finally his good night kiss. That smile that said you will be my wife tomorrow :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>May 12th Morning : </b><br />
<br />
<b>Kashi Yatra:</b><br />
The first event this morning was the Kashi yatra wherein Arju had to pretend to go to kashi leaving all worldly pleasures and my father had to stop him and persuade him to marry me. Arju had long time planned to take a flight to kashi but then dad had got him some tight slippers which prevented him from running away. His dad went missing when he turned around whilst planning to run away and his uncle said he had forgotten the kashi tickets. He merrily came back though he cribbed while mentioning his reason for coming back.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Maalai Matram ~ Exchange of garlands:</b><br />
Next was the Exchange of garlands. My uncles carried me high so that Arju had to jump to reach me and same his side. His best friend joined to help in carrying him. Strong guy Arju ;-)<br />
<br />
<b>Oonjal:</b><br />
Then we were made to sit in the oonjal (swing) decorated with flowers and was rocked to and fro. Then moms & aunts from both sides cleansed our feet with milk and fed us with milk and banana followed by balls of red and yellow rice were rounded three times and thrown in all directions to cast off the evil eyes .<br />
<br />
<b>Muhurtham:</b><br />
I was made to sit on appa's lap and received my 9 yards saree. Clad in 9 yards saree I sat on appa's lap awaiting the auspicious moment . Kanika dhanam happened wherein my dad held and placed my hands into Arjun's upturned hands giving me away to him.<br />
<br />
<b>Mangalyadharanam:</b><br />
Seated in appa's lap , amidst the holy mantras Arju tied my taali. He made the first two knots and last one was completed by his sis. Officially Mrs. Sujithra Arjun :)<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Sapthapadi:</b><br />
During this ritual Arju held my right hand and we walked around the sacred fire. Then he bent down and held my right toe with his right hand and helped me take seven steps around the fire. The mantras recited during this time seeks the blessings of Lord vishnu to bless us is what I was told later on .<br />
<br />
This was followed by an hour of homams with loads of prayers for our well being...<br />
<br />
<b>May 12th Evening :</b><b>Nalangu</b><br />
The last event at our wedding was the nalangu. Arju and me were made to sit facing each other and asked to apply turmeric to each others feet. Then we played few games like rolling the coconut, breaking papadams and a small tug of war with coconut. We were made to sing for each other. He did sing a song which surprised everyone right from his dad , mom and sister [ to those who know tamil he sang : Aadi pona avani ava aala mayakum davani ;-) ]<br />
<br />
Well that's about our happy wedding and I have my soul mate now. Like I always say Thank you God , dad and mom !!<br />

Okay, this may not seem to be great to many people but to me it means great, awesome & a splendid thing to happen...<br />Now read on...<br />
<br />
<br />
How excited can any cricket enthusiast get about their FIRST time at a Cricket stadium & watch a TEST match live ??<br />
<br />
I was damn excited to see the Indian team in action!!!<br />
<br />
And that's why me and a friend ( Twinkle my hostel mate ) yelled and rushed into the Bangalore Chinnaswamy Stadium this morning to watch India Vs New Zealand Test match Day 3 with Bright light , fine weather ( unlike the previous day's downpour) and a terrific crowd that filled the stadium on a Sunday!<br />
<br />
Then came Virat Kohli's ton followed by Captain Cool Dhoni's half century & the 9 wicket scalp of NZ's batsman.. . there we were cheering madly , jumping wildly yelling INDIA India clap clap clap and of course making the Mexican waves blended with yeeaaaaaaah with the crowd at the stadium O-o<br />
<br />
Seated at stands somewhere between the deep mid wicket & deep square leg position , here I was desperately trying to explain to my parents that I would be seen on TV if they focused Sachin Tendulkar who was fielding at deep square leg ..
<br />
<br />
Those moments where your excitement becomes more wilder when Sachin came for fielding near us , when Virat Kohli turned and looked at us & asked us to cheer, when Gambhir , SURESH RAINA ;-) (Capitalization Intentional ) and Zaheer walked down to field near us and waved .. !<br />
<br />
At 5 when the umpire took the bails of with an over to spare for the day was a bit disappointing though.. fine I forgive him....<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
whoaaa man I loved this day ...<br />
