  1. Dear,Your face with so much wide smile and tigress eyes relaly increase the throb of heart. But remember the beauty is always shortlived. It vanishes out with passing of age. There is nothing permanent in this world; every thing is for timebeing and lowers down after its climax. Dear Mehwish, please dont forget my point. But always remember that mind is a unique thing and its beauty never goes out and it remains intact till the death. We have seen your beautiful face but unable to perceive your mind.
