Loving and Being Loved

Love makes everything possible. This is the tagline from the movie, The Other Woman, starring Natalie Portman, Lisa Kudrow and Seth Cohen. The story was about how a death could change the relationship between people and their coping mechanisms. It was especially hard for the mother who had to bear the guilt of killing her own child, or so she thinks. Since she kept it to herself, no one was able to tell her that the baby died of natural causes and not because of her smothering the baby.

No Time for Outdoor Games

I remember playing a lot of physical and outdoor games during my childhood days. My playmates and I would play during our free time different kinds of games like hide and seek, high jump, Chinese garter and so many more. It was very fun and we all enjoyed all our playtimes.
