It was traffic strike in our country at 14th February 2001. My girlfriend was 45 kilometers far from me and the angry strikers didn't allow any traffic. At 4.30 pm I received the best gift in my life. She came..... on foot....I saw blood on his foot...............

    But point taken and I have replaced it with a more pensive image.
