To my Valentine......

Dear Quake 3,
Its almost 7 months we have not met each other. I don't know how I let this happen, but its been so long I have left you alone. I am now feeling guilty. I still remember that day when I brought you to my college. Everybody was impressed with you. Slowly your popularity grew and you became a part of each and every NITKian ! I don't know how much you love me, but I can't help falling in love with you. You have everything which I seek in a partner. You have looks ! High resolution, satisfying FPS, inspiring music, ready to play with me for the whole night :-) and you run great even on my PIII with 64 Mb RAM. You never say no to whatever I say. I have your photo as my Computer desktop wallpaper. I have your appealing logo placed at my cubicle, I even see you in my dreams.

I know you cannot enter in me, so I sacrificed the real world and entered your world. It was really a good experience exploring you. During my elder brother's marriage, I had you carved in mehendi on my hand.
The times have changed, I came back to the real world, and my mind was diverted to some other work. Now I cannot be with you every day, every night. I cannot bring back the time we had in the college. Now a days, even weekends are a bit tough to squeeze in a small visit.
I have to come to office even on Valentine's day. But I promise, I will meet you this weekend, and I will get a licenced version of yours soon !
Before I end my letter, let me dedicate a small song to you.
Every game of Quake,
Every move you make
Every shield you break
Every shard you take
Ill be missing you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Ill be missing you

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor gun aches
With every step you take

Every quad you take
Every frag you get
Every flag you take
Every score you make
Ill be missing you
Yours Truly,
21dahsiN

Pela hai be!
When I started to read, I was all smiles.

When I finished reading, I was weeeping, believe me.

I was struck by nostalgia. I began reliving all those memories in my mind.

As Baba rightly said - "Everything else sucks, only Quake 3 rocks."

This blog is a tribute - "To Our Valentine"
