I had been to a wedding two months back and thought would not get to see anyone I know. Pretty much was i enjoying my dinner and I happened to spot someone I once knew (or maybe I din't know him at all) The first reaction was that of shock and then I went blank.
I started looking around for Hemi as if I had been attacked and now needed to look for security and I did not find peace until I saw Hubbyji happily munching away with the other men. He did not look at me but when my eyes found him, I was secure again. After that whenever I came across that person it really din't bother me.
How many times would have all of us experienced this? We bump into once upon a time people and very differently. Some friendly ones become ignorant, the ones we would have ignored talk joyously. Some unknown people become close and some very close ones become once known strangers.
Even we can be any of these to someone. Matter of factly we are not in contact with everyone for a long time. Only those who touch our lives and value us stay and the others just pass by and after that we take our lives further ahead. Then when suddenly we are shown a snapshot of our past, many of us don't even know how to react. All we should do is to be the way we now are and not become what we used to be. We grow as we learn every moment, going back to memories is refreshing but becoming the old self takes away all our lessons and our journey seems to be baseless and void.
Lets meet as many people as possible but remember to remember only those who make a positive difference, the rest of the world is anyway strange so lets just leave the unwanted people as known strangers. Once in a while they just pop up, either to remind us of the times we have forgotten and of the times that we dare not forget!!
Cheers!!
God Bless!
