Ponderings - 2

Have you ever wondered why the heart is the symbol of love? Why are people in love constantly making cliched references to the heart? When you are in love, does the Heart really hurt?

To make things clear I'm posting a link. please read it to understand the function of heart and what it does, or in fact what it does not do.
The Human Heart

The brain is the organ that is responsible for all human actions and emotions too. So why exactly is it that people in love constantly use the Heart to feel emotions ?
The only emotion that is not felt by the brain is Love and frankly speaking the reason for that it is because it does require any.

Ponderings - 1

Somehow I fail to understand a few words in English. Let me start with the word "Free".
I get this message from my telecoms subscriber who pretty much is the only person who manages to remember me every day and never fails to message me.

Anyway the message reads as follows:
Free Free Free. Hello tunes absolutely free. Dial 1725 to listen to Hello tunes absolutely free.
Call charges Rs 10 per minute. Hello tune charges Rs 30 per month and download charges Rs 10/song.

Since I receive these messages everyday, I'm quite confused about the meaning of "free".
And touching upon the topic, I would like to also ask this question: Who the hell pays for a tune that you never get to listen to? I mean how crazy should I be to pay for something that some annoying telemarketer is going to listen to while I take my own sweet time to answer the phone.

The only real time that you get to listen to your caller tune is when you have lost your cellphone. So enjoy listening to your hello tunes at that time.
