Love is in the air...

My friend from IIT Kharagpur came to town recently. He was struck sick by the Lack of Female Sightings (LOFS) syndrome. Now though this disease is a well documented phenomenon in Engineering colleges, far flung institues like Kharagpur seem to spiral it beyond control. He was desperate, and no amount of cautioning could convince him otherwise. And hey, who are we kiddin' anyway?
Men are suckers for women... mothers, friends, girlfriends et al. They were built that way, they aren't happy unless someone is shoving a thermometer down their throats, laughing at their stupid jokes or cuddling up to their arm.
In the words of Bob Dylan:

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death,
and men who are fighting to be warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
