Lov Letter of a Mechie!!!!!!

My perpetual darling ,
From the day u entered in the control volume of my mind my heart has become a closed system and its entropy is increasing according to III'rd law of loveodynamics.......
The events and activities are so complex that i cannot find the optimum path after n nos. of iterations......
My heart is unable to sustain the cyclic load of ur frequent smiles and is near to endurance limit failure.....
I am quenched in ur thoughts and no heat treatment can save my heart from decrystalisation now........
Please do not test the bearing capacity of my heart valves and lower your yield strength.........
Please do not increase the compression ratio of my heart so much bcoz it is not designed to bear so much thermal stress.....
Please lower the octane no of ur temper as my little heart is not accustomed to so much undesired Knocking.......

I am sure that u also would be experiencing some residual stress, and will someday show a proportionate straining of ur heart according to hooks law .........and as a Mechie i firmly belive in this theory.....so i will wait ....... till my little heart crosess its ultimate tensile stress and fractures.

Your LoveStrain-Hardened lover

bck frm Bharat Bhraman!!

Raah par kaante bikhre agar..uspe to chalna hi hai ....
Shaam chupa le suraj .....magar raat ko dhalna hi hai !!!

Well well...I am bck from a wonderful visit from South India...fascinating.......Udupi, Tirupati , hyderabad ,mysore...oh I am in lov....(yet again)...but this time the object of my lov is different....It all started with my bro studying at Manipal...cool col. man!!!
I landed up in banglore on 26th.. and onto udupi on 27th...with a day of roaming 'round we set off to manipal..hey, they hav a beach nearby!! what luck...uhmmm!!! Then to Tirupati...man I coulnt believe that more than a lakh of devotees had queued up for a glimpse of the idol there....India is different......elsewhere people queue up only for soccer tickets...Man U Vs Chelsea.
And of course Mysore "City of palaces"....I just wished I would hav born in royalty just to liv in one of those.....Yaar I am still ready for adoption(Any king listening!!).


Now, bck to college...and looking ahead to visit Goa next month....dont be jealous my friend...Every dog has his day!!!!!
