It was a summer afternoon. I was waiting for her at
Ahmedabad Railway Station. It was our 1st meet after becoming
friends online.
From Mumbai I had come to Ahmedabad for an exhibition. She
was being re-located from Jammu to Jamnagar. It was sheer coincidence
that we happened to be in Gujarat, Ahmedabad
on the same day, almost at the same time.
I arrived and waited for her. As per train schedule I had to
wait for 40 mins. But, her train got delayed and I had to wait for more than 90
mins. Was curious and anxious at the same time. As the time passed I also became nervous.
Looking back at how we became friends, I remembered how she
had investigated about me. Her interrogative nature was welcomed, her curiosity
appreciated. Knowing her was like rediscovering me. Within few chatting
sessions we realised we were already good friends. I am happy she became my
friend, glad that we sincerely took efforts; we still do, to be in contact in
spite of responsibilities and distances between us.
I have made many friends through this blog, all from
different culture and background. We are friends, all of us different from each
other, also alike in a way or other. Knowingly or unknowingly you all have
become a part of my life. As I pondered, the train arrived. My special friend was
right in front of me. My first friend through the blog and the first I
met
We spent barely 15 mins chatting, and it was time to depart.
Meeting Prachi and her kids Mihtit & Mehul at the station was for a very short time but I am sure this sweet memory will last for years to
come.
That was how I met my soul mate. When ‘We Met’.
There are enough reasons to fall in love, look around, there
is no dearth.
Celebrate if you have already found a friend soul mate.
If not,
then be happy, because you are going to fall in love
again.
