Deep is the love, strong is the emotion.....

When I look back
On everything Ive done
I know you must have cried
A river of tears,
But, you were there
When I was feeling low
To walk me through my darkest fears

So when the sun goes down
An those nights grow colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder

An the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion

There were times
I almost let you go
When I thought I needed to break free,
But you were there
To whisper in my ear
Why dont you share my dreams with me.

So when the sun goes down
An those nights are growing colder
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder.

An the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion

I dont mind, what youre doing to me,
I dont mind, cause youre all I can see
I dont mind, baby, you mean the world to me

When the sun goes down
An those nights are growing colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder, baby, baby, baby.

So when the sun goes down
An those nights are growing colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder.

cause the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion...

I never gonna let you go,
In my heart, I know.
I love you, I love you.
Oh baby, I really love you...

I dedicate this to my love of 8 1/2 years and to whom I got engaged to last week!

One Saturday!!

The time was slowly ticking. It was 4 AM in the morning. Never had dawn break been so haunting and the feeling was sinking in gradually. I was attempting hard to stop biting my nails. I knew I would later feel the loss of the manicured beauties.

I felt like standing on a precipice waiting for the winds to blow me off. Every minute seemed to last for an hour. I was getting restless and tired of keeping myself awake. My heart skipped a beat when I almost fell off my chair. I did not know if I could have the liberties to complete my morning rituals. No, I wouldn’t dare do that; I knew I was jinxed in such issues.

I thought of getting over the feeling. In order to spruce up myself a bit, I logged into the computer and listened to my favourite music. Suddenly, music wasn’t exactly music to the ears. There seemed to be something going wrong. I knew the song too well to miss the beats. Heck, no, it was my cell phone ringing!!!

The dreaded hour had arrived. I checked the time and it was half past 7 o’clock. I hadn’t realized the time go by, thanks to Pink Floyd. I managed to keep my cool. Luckily the matter wasn’t all that serious or so I thought!

The phone from then on kept ringing at regular intervals. I decided I had to go. This was getting hard to handle from home. Wait, I had oiled my hair. There was oil dripping from my head. I did not have that much time to wash it and leave. I was contemplating how long it would take to reach the dreaded destination…an hour, no an hour and a half maybe. Time was running out. It would have taken an hour anyway with or without the oil on my head. I immediately jumped into an old pair of jeans and Tee and headed towards the door. Now, my driving skills wouldn’t permit me to drive above 40 kmph. I needed help. “DAD”, yes, he’s the one …my trouble reliever. The next minute, we were speeding.

I finally reached the place after about 45 mins of sustained tension. 4 hours, 100 phone calls later things had settled down. I was dead tired by then. I slowly trudged towards the exit and waited for a cab.

The day had ended in another part of the world and I was going to wake up to party!

It was my first production release, a business critical application that I was solely involved in during the development and testing stages! There were issues and more issues, but I’m glad it finally managed to pull through and got into production. Phew!
