"You cannot write an 'un'romantic post on the heart", she said. And I absolutely hate such comments from an elder cousin(call it the cousin rivalry, if you like). Ok madam, so here it is then...

THE HEART

The human heart is a mass of dense muscle that work with high efficiency. It has two arteries, two veins and four valves. The only little boring job it has is that of pumping blood in two independent circuits(one is the heart-kidney circuit and the other is our body). Without getting into a lot of biology, it is just another organ, doing what it is supposed to do.

And 4 ridiculous lines told me what she meant by 'you cannot'...

THE HEART

The human heart is the one little body part that works day in and day out, just for you. It asks no difficult questions, demands no answers, expects nothing great from you, but still stays with you, all the time. Ideal love, or very close to it. The heart beats when you are happy, it beats when you are sad. It beats, without conditions. Heart symbolizes hope, it stands for optimism. No matter what, you can always put your hand on your chest and be really sure you'll hear that same 'dhak dhak!'. Sitting in a crowded bus, you know your heart's there...sitting alone under the night sky, you know it's still there. I don't care how many valves it has, what it does or how it does it, I just love my heart.

And yes, thank you for the little challenge, never enjoyed losing so much.

Ok, ignore the title!

Its the end of an eventful two weeks at IIT, and I finally get some time off for myself. So, I sit down to 'update' my blog.

POLTU - The politics at IIT is great fun(could not find a better word for it), however it could have been better if there was allowance for a little more sleep time, a little more of stick to your word, and a little less of the 'kicking celebrations'. Haan, so I am the secretary for Indoor Sports Club...the first and the last time I am saying it... saying ISC Secy takes less time, and I am happy for it.

ASSIGNMENTS - The most adventurous part of a CS B.Tech. No more should be said about them, lets leave it here.

DRAMA - My hukka(in iit, it stands for a course in the humanities department) finally grabbed my attention, and so did the professor. And even though, I always believed a hukka teacher can never be sharp I am happy she gave me an exception to the rule(took her 2 months though). Saurabh continues with his poor HQ(humanities quotient) and I continue to have a lot of fun talking about it.

FINALLY I found myself an explanation of why I tend to have very few close friends. Its the definition of what I call good(being so even when you know there is no one watching you) that perhaps makes it difficult for people to fit in. Amazingly, some of them still do...

Signing off, hoping to get my sleep cycle corrected (or maybe not, late nights are fun).

The Egg Story

One of my favorites...

- An egg jumped from the top floor of a really tall building, but he did not break. Why?
- Beginners luck! The guy was really talented.

- Then he jumped again...did not break this time either. Why?
- Confidence! The guy's talented and he knows his talent.

- He jumped again, this time with eyes closed...and landed safe once more. Why?
- Experience! He'd done it so many times...didn't need to see to do it.

- Then he jumped a fourth time, and broke a leg. Why?
- Overconfidence! Eyes closed, ears closed, full of 'i am the best' crap in his head, maybe he deserved it, lol.

- He did not try the jump for a very long time after that, afraid of breaking body parts. But then he tried again one day, a little inspiration from a good friend...
- What happened, well! wait for it :)
