Love Story: When Love Can’t Be Separated

By Shatavisha Chakravorty

Many people are of the belief that there is a right age to fall in love. They feel that once their education is over and they are well off on a professional front, only then must they consider the idea of marriage.

However, these people do not know that the arrow of cupid can strike anyone at any given time. That is why, it is all the way more important that love that happens at an early age should not be discarded as a mere infatuation. It is often seen that this type of love is the one that survives decades.
