When a chemist and a theoretician fall in love

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] :D

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

    Blaming it on chemicals? Ah no! :D
    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! :D
