Strangers, acquaintances and friends!!
It happens so many times that the above two of three personalities on either end interchange places so easily! There are some people who make you feel comfortable during the first meet and like wise about yourself towards them and also there are friends whom you have known for so many years, but still you try to maintain a formal distance. Hence the thin line between friends and strangers is known as acquaintances. There are those whom you have known for so many years, but seldom indulge in conversations. But whenever conversation strikes, wavelengths just match and time flies. At the same time, just a brief 'Hi' from such a person assures you that everything is just going well.....whereas an hour long of meaningless conversation would still leave that 'strange' uncomfortable lingering feeling. But then as Bill Clinton once said "The definition of Diplomacy is to Keep the Conversation Going" :-)
What triggered this post.....just comparing the people I have met in the past two weeks or so.....making me wonder what was depicted in the movie 'Anand'....Every human is a transmitter and a receiver...and if the wavelengths match....thats it!
