My Dad has asked me to never write this to a real guy

Info: We had our Tech Fest - DAKSHH 2010 which had a competition called Tech@Heart, and my entry came second ;) ( I won a Dell T-shirt! :P) We had to pen a *love-letter* in techie lingo.
I dedicate this post to my last Tech fest here. The letter given below is followed by an index of tech terms (aapki help ke liye) ;)

and without much ado here it is :

THE LETTER

To The Scanner Of My Heart,


From the moment(as defined by The Platinum Iridium cylinder in Paris) my irises saw you, my cardiac valves did more back
flips than a sawtooth waveform, only this time it was generated by the CRO inside me. The vectors of two points on a Gaussian field belong together and you belong with me. I stored your image in my cache memory for ever.

I still remember the first time that we met, you were near the Klystron Amplifier and I was besides the Lathe Machine. Just like these devices are so different, like a cation attracts an anion, our pheromones attracted each other. Your eyes found me like TCP found IP. When you came within a proximal distance of 0.25m within me, I could feel electrons flowing through my viens with a speed of 10power30 GHz.

But then I lost you. I searched endlessly for you on the Internet, The Ethernet, The Telnet and what not. But alas! Without you I was morose like a Matlab program gone so wrong that it doesn't even know the difference between a root() command and sinc function.


It was on the eve of pi day when I saw you again. Even in that melange of a million people you spotted me. My adrenaline was pumping @ 2.5 times higher than usual. I immediately sent you my ARP request packet to which you replied coz' I knew that your heart was unicast towards me.
Like a Wien Bridge connected to itself, like integration and diffrentiation , where one is nothing without the other. You know? When Information from your oral mouth reaches my olfactory lobes,it's bliss, akin to ISO completing OSI.


My lacrimal glands moisten up as I write these last lines.


An ATMEG32 ca
n never run without AVR, and neither can my respiratory system without you.
So WHAT ARE YOU waiting for? Get on your higehest mileage giving,lowest fuel guzzling and eco-logical automobille and come to me. 'Coz here I am, all lonely , twirling 1
K, 2K and 10 K ohm resistances, waiting , only for you....

Yours Truly


Black Isotropic Woman

P.S: When I had written it, I hadnt really thought of putting it down on some rough paper, had directly written on the paper provided. Now my memory isnt some cache that I"ll remember everything. However whatever I've written is 99% same to same :)

P.P.S: We also bagged the third prize in the MAD-AD contest (impromptu advertisement), We as in Saheli, Abhay and Me. But that story is for some other time and best told by anyone but me!

P.P.P.S: As for my DAD, he promptly slept off after a very enthusiastic recitation by moi. DAD: "ye kabhi kisi real bande ko mat likhna, bhag jayega" :D :D : D

7.CRO: Cathode Ray Oscillator: used to *see* waves.
8.Vector: Anyth with magnitude and direction, jaise chalta hua train.
9.Gaussian Field: yaar Maths me ek football field jaisa concept hai.


10.Cache: Computer ka ek superfast and easy to access memory
11.Electrons: Negative charge wale small small things.
12.Klystron Amplifier: Used to increase the speed of electrons.

As I put this comment down, My CNS is working hard, pulmonary arteries working just fine,B.P 90 over palp, G.S.C is considerably low and complex as if 10 pulleys hanging on each side of the rope,and I have been given a problem based on inertia and the rods used are magnetic and tesla is just not acceptable neither is the lumnious flux coz of the enormous brightness of my mind but I hope the hertz is just matching through this hyper text transfer protocol and your cache memory catches it and stores it somewhere near medulla oblangata, so that the dendritic cells work perfectly and increase the FPS ..and hence the performance of the thoughts !
.

and whatever that meant :P
nice write up ..i remember maximum of the terms u used as in I have heard them but then if you ask me what all they are ..i can answer like 50 % of them only :P

Azra Raphael said...

u r right. dont torment any guy with THIS!

unless he's a techie guy too, that is.

and where can i find u on ork or fb? if u dont mind.

Mads said...

sorry..i just brushed through it..and it seemed awesome :D
we also had our fest on.. :D i didnt get a team for mad ads :| but yeah participated in pictoretto and quizes :D but didnt win anywhere...
take care n congrats :)

enchantinganki said...

Hi..This blew me off...i kinda wrote something like this long back as a tesimonial for someone with all my GRE wordlist...errr..I couldnt go thru ur full post....but writing dis is something...

Ur dad is right..d guy will run away just after 2 lines :-P

Akansha Agrawal said...

Firstly... Hail!! nahi seriously, because it will probably take me an eternity to come up with something of this kind, and tune toh rough draft bhi nahi banaya... :O ^:)^

OK, I know all the tech terms B-) so did not need your lexicon... B-)

Arrey seriously show it to some guy... arrey jo banda seh le na... samajh jaana sachhi love hai... ;) dekh kitna fayda ho gaya isko likhne se... fool proof method mil gaya... \:D/ ;)

The Furobiker said...

abeeee! tu to bahut padhi likhi nikli :D :D :D

I'll try 2 be truthful said...

@ peter
some of the info isn't that correct either. hoho!


@raphael
oh why o why o why?? can i give it in my CV then? hehe ;)
on fb.


@Mads
thanx yaar :D like my mom says participating is more important :D
ps: LOOK at Peter's comment :D :D :D

I'll try 2 be truthful said...

@enchantinganki
whats the meaning of your blog name?
with GRE words eh? :) would like to see that.


@Akansha
shabash!! it seems either people dont need the lexicon or after the letter they'r too tired to go through it ;)
wow! like anyone who cud jhelo this cud be my babyyyy :D :D :)
ps: LOOK at Peter's comment :D :D :D



@Abhshek K.
aur nahi to kya??? main sirf dikhti aisi hu B-)

Sree said...

Sahi mein bhaag jaayega...35 items in the glossary...I agree with your dad! :P
Waise Congrats on winning the competitions!! :)
Aur haan...Letter mast tha...koi budde professor ke haath naa lage, use pyaar hojaayega!! :P

Anwesa said...

Iss letter ko padh k mera SCR jaisa mann trigger ho gaya :)

Mads said...

Peter was so happy with your post..i thought he would cry with happiness :P wait, i dont think he reads comments ke replies so hopefully he wont read this...and he warned me advance mei that i will hate it...but i was polite to u n admitted i didnt get anything :( and i saw his comment and im like get lost all you science students :P

kindly write a post thinking of bewakuf log like me next time :-w :D

joie de vivre said...

hehe..dekh honestly mere toh jyada samajh nai aaya kyuki mein engineer nai hu :P

*jo bhi hai aacha hai ;)*

and yeah I really enjoyed reading your stuff after so long...
Thanks for makin me smile..

I'll try 2 be truthful said...

@Sree
haan ab mere kismat me badde budhhe proff. hi likhe hai kya? nahhhhhhiii!!!

"To The Scanner Of My Heart.."

This opening line cracks me up totally :D.

Don't listen to your Dad. Your 'scanner' will not run away. He'll be too stunned you see :D

Great read! I can't stop giggling!

Sorcerer said...

hahaa
awesome..awesome

S.A.M.B.I.T said...

HA hA ...
Which Engineering college u r from.
Seems to be from mumbai..
Recalling my engg days...

I'll try 2 be truthful said...

@ soliloquyncuppa

:D thankx, this is gonna be my *scanner* test ;)


@sorcerer

;)


@S.A.M.B.I.T
hehe no not Mumbai , thanx anyway :)

ROTFL

This was awesome.

Congratulations ! U qualified for the role of Sheldon Cooper in BBT !

Pushpita said...

Congrats Amrita !! I really felt that you are th SHE-Sheldon :P Loved it :)

I'll try 2 be truthful said...

hehe thanks pushpita :)
