No, not the soul mate sort. To convey the expression requires introducing you, the reader, to the back story. In essence this post is about me and Naman’s library adventures.

Check this one out for instance, its about our hands. The hands are the two intricate, prehensile, multi-fingered body parts normally located at the end of each arm of a human or other primate. Hands are one of the coolest things ever produced by Evolution, we can barely imagine the complexity and trial and error required to create it and they call it a prehensile(no idea what it means) multi fingered body part :|
