It was the first day of my new life‚ the life that I was going to spend buried in books‚ cramming to meet deadlines and running to class‚ late as ever.

their lives or events that were painful‚ and I really have wracked my brain to figure it out. I pretty much have had a normal childhood. Maybe it was too normal. When I try to recall my childhood days‚ many memories comes rushing. They over whelm me with their intimacy‚ beauty and wonder.
