  Force, Friction and Fusion By: Utkarsh Hello everyone, well it’s been a long time since my last post. Yes, I wasn’t getting enough time to express my creativity of writing out for myself, I was engaged in various time taking activities which were also latent and away from exposed clicks. Yesterday while having a conversation with one of my college’s friends, I explained them the relation of my favorite subject and favorite person from which the title of this blog is derived. Also, there are both direct and indirect meanings of title exists as there is a word that is also part of TFC.

It all started from the inspiration and competing thoughts which arrived in my brain after looking my best friend,    whose name refers to  'the pure water'.  He, to be very honest, had used his time effectively in the past, worked upon himself and made a masculine physique which hit upon me as, "if he can, why can't I?".
