My Love Life – Part I Today I want to talk about my close friend’s love life. He is actually 3 months older than me but I am 1 year elder to him (Please don’t ask me to explain that – you need to know advanced quantum physics to understand it – and if there is anyone who has done PHD is quantum physics – they also need to know molecular biology) Both of us are 24 years old and pretty much followed the same path when...
