Entropy is confusing topic for many, just like love is. And I am no expert here. But it is getting clearer (both hehe).

So – today’s bakwas is about the entropy of a relationship.

For me, the entropy of a relationship, if taken an average in an extended period of time, should be high. And I’d always aim for that.

Entropy, they say, is the randomness or disorder of a system. Or chaos. So am I aiming for chaos? It’s easier to misunderstand, especially if you haven’t found the right one. Lucky for me, I HAVE.

And I am going to prove why we should always have higher entropy in the relationship.

For the first stages in the relationship, it’s quite obvious I think. We’re at rest, individually, unless someone comes along and makes you fall for them. It’s a different feeling, there is a new found energy, we’re excited.

Proving the first law –

The equilibrium is deeply shaken (for the best in my case hehe) – because there’s a lot of heat (you’re hot) and there are efforts put in, to show that you’re really interested.

Often we think that equilibrium is a good state to be in. Things are orderly. This might be equivalent to people getting “comfortable” in the relationship, or so do they say. The honeymoon phase is over, and you’re not wearing the rose coloured glasses anymore.

The earth never stays in equilibrium. I am sure the nature is completely comfortable with all the different elements in play. Sunrises and sunsets cause the delta too. It happens everyday, like clockwork (hehe) but still remains some of the most beautiful things known to mankind.

I don’t think we have reached an equilibrium tho. And don’t get me wrong, I think we’re the most comfortable we’ve ever been, and it keeps getting better. But that’s not equilibrium.

Which, takes us to the 2nd law –

any spontaneously occurring process will always lead to an escalation in the entropy (S) of the universe.

For me, I waited for our honeymoon phase to end, but I think I stopped waiting now. I don’t think the end is even coming.

It’s because the system (us) chooses to put in the work, to keep the energy alive.

The videos you make and the songs you sing, the heartfelt messages and the massages, or just being there, for me, for the people who matter to me. This is all spontaneous.

Most of the spontaneous reactions are naturally occurring.

You don’t plan for it – it just naturally occurs to you, that you should do something and you do it. I feel all that love transfer from you, the warmest person alive, to the relatively colder person, me. I cherish it all my love. And it’s not just higher entropy, it’s a high in itself, Kunal.

And it’s the same for me.

And you see – the whole law holds true as is, that it’s always in one direction, always increasing. So if it’s love, always increases.

Would the world call it perfect? Maybe not. The long distance, my family not being completely approving (working on it xD) and the long distance and the distance between us and not being able together all the time (╥﹏╥).

What is perfect for the world? Diamonds. They have the perfect order. And they look beautiful, don’t they.

The third law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a perfect crystal at a temperature of zero Kelvin (absolute zero) is equal to zero.

The element with the lowest entropy is diamond, due to its highly ordered, crystalline structure. 

Lucky for us, we don’t love diamonds. Because in the end, it’s a rock. It can be a jewel, but nothing more than that.

Lucky for us, we don’t care about the world too. Diamonds might be perfect for them, but we would rather be sunrise and sunsets, than diamonds.

Maybe all these curveballs are a part of the relationship to keep it’s entropy high. Maybe we need to put more work in, but I am sure we’re not getting tired of that anytime sooner.

Entropy is zero in a reversible process; it increases in an irreversible process

All the emotions – sadness, cries are a part of it, if we look at it from the lens of thermodynamics.

We feel the entropy change because there’s some work done, irreversible. Lucky are those who find people that can change their entropy.

I am the luckiest. You made me believe in luck. Your existence on this planet is a gift to everyone around you. I get to be closest to you.

This is the first 15th we’re not meeting. It feels different, but doesn’t feel empty. I know you’re there for me. Just like the sun. I can see you, I can see your colours, I can see your beauty and I can feel all the warmth and the love too.

But right now, I am not the sea or the mountain who gets to see you resting on the lap at the end of the day. G-1302’s sofa-cum-bed is so lucky.

But one day, I’ll be the sea.

I will see the sun rise, not from a window, but from my own arms, proudly waving goodbye as it proceeds to brighten the day for the world around it. And at the end of the day, the sun will come back to me, because I am told that the sun loves watching the sea.

Happy 15th my love. You’re the best. I love you so so so much. I hope you know that. And I’ll keep telling it you everyday, multiple times. Sunsets and sunrises are the living proof that beautiful things never get boring, even if repeated.

I may have misunderstood thermodynamics on another levels, but I do know a thing or two about love. Hope you like that :-*
