The Chemistry of Intimacy

THE CHEMISTRY OF INTIMACY I have indeed great pleasure in introducing this book of an intrepid moral and social crusader who has always been treading a difficult path of his deliberate choice with a single-minded determination. His books are the by-products of his vigourous thinking and courageous action. There is no hiatus between his radical thinking and intrepid action. Therefore the words of his book have a special flavour which a socially sensitive reader is unlikely fail to feel on his palate when he reads it. That is the creative success of this work. Dr. N. A.

Nay, it is all these, and beyond, transcending all boundaries of blood relations. It is a total surrender of the self to the other and to the society, without counting the cost. Indeed, it is an ideological commitment, with all the freshness and sweetness of being together. Yes, friendship is a lifelong process of continuous give and take where two individualities melt into one personality, where personalities merge into a society and all have a decent living, enjoying freedom, equality, acceptance, respect and worth.
