When the teacher walks out of the door, the lazy ones would close their books and return them to the lockers with a consolation that there is still more time to finish up the assignment. The following day just before the class, they realize that the teacher left some assignment. Well, they had three options: abscond the class, ignore the assignment and come up with a vague reason to cover their laziness or do some shoddy job.

Exactly 10.01 pm on 1st February 2015, you crept out into the world marking the beginning of your life.Your mum gave me the news immediately and I heard you cry from the background as she called.It was the sweetest sound I had ever heard.How amazing you are!You were born at the foot of the love month.You are definitely a product of love between your mum and I. Right then and there our whole life changed, mine and your mom's, we became parents. Early that morning I was already at the maternity ward to witness your arrival.I spent the morning  staring at your precious face, I could not blink, I didn't want to miss anything. You were amazing, handsome, tiny, helpless, cute, who wouldn't fall in love? I loved you then.

I read somewhere that  having a child is like letting your heart walk around outside of your body.  That couldn't be more true.  A few years
