One
chapter in any elementary Chemistry textbook is “Elements, Compounds and Mixtures”.
If one recollects the definition, a mixture is a physical combination of ≥ two
substances that retains their original identities. In our lives, all hope for “compatible”
people, who are more conspicuous by their absence. This story is about two
girls who happened to lead a part of their life’s journey together.
There were two room- mates in a
college hostel, named Anita and Sunita (Ani and Suni for short). Apart from the
roof, they shared an amiable nature, and would go to college together. Suni was
two years senior, so her class timings did not necessarily coincide with Ani’s.
They started for college together, even if either of them did not have a class
then- they followed a routine, and that was a good start for the day. Ani was
extroverted and boisterous, while Suni was introverted and silent. Ani was
plump and healthy, and Suni was slim but weak. May be because opposite poles
attract, they got along well.
