Dil Se

"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.

And, yes I won't be here then, but I want you to retain in your memory, the exact scene, when SG gets to see his HUKKA grade, including any expletives that he showers on you!

I want an account of it [verbal(email) or visual(videorecording)]!!!

Sorry for sounding absolutely pedantic, but isnt the "heart-kidney" circuit supposed to be the "heart-lungs" circuit?
