Hi Manish, This is a very good view and I second everything you have said. This is the time we have to stand together, realize the importance of relationship and start valuing them rather than just using the "relation" just as a means of sex. I really appriciated when you said ..
(I quote) If I love a person I should be able to do everything with him..... (un quote) This is something that I really believe in. If not for him, whom else would we be for and I am sure, once you find the true love, your mind and body does not have boundaries!
