T: Oh dear, my heart says I’m in love with you
C: Oh really? But heart doesn’t speak. It has only blood, whose pH is 7.4
T: Ya, true but my love for you hasn’t decreased a picometre ever since I fell for you
C: Picometre? Is love measured in distance?
T: I don’t know. Maybe, it’s the depth of love in the heart and hence the distance unit
C: But we just established heart doesn’t have love
T: Oh ok, how’s picogram?
C: Makes sense. After all, love is nothing but a chemical “locha” in the mind!
Oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin at work
T: So, picograms final?
C: Oh no no. That’s not a standard. Let’s make it picomoles, that would be IUPAC approved!
T: (looking a little harrassed) Ah ya, I suppose so…….
C: (looking triumphant) Yay!
And so the chemist and theoretician lived on, together……………..:-)
[PS: IUPAC is International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry]

Ah the chemist has won this one !! I’d like to see the theoretician’s version too !

Blaming it on chemicals? Ah no!

And Neha, not nerds, just logical people!
And Karthik, I am sure the theoretician wouldn’t bother with posting his version, so you’re stuck with the good old chemist’s version only!
