Serendipity

I was never a believer in soul connections. How do you feel a connection on seeing a person for the first time?Do sparks fly? Or do bells ring in your head to signal a special change in your life?What is that feeling supposed to be when you meet a person or a few minutes and get this weird feeling that you have known that person for years??!!

Me,of all the cynics,experienced this weird feeling one such time. And I realised fate does not present itself by sparks or bells.Maybe it was God's way of making me believe in fate,serendipity,kismet. I wouldn't know.But all i know is it changed my life forever.My serendipity came in the form of this very weird girl who came to my workplace. I was already very lonely at work (it was my initial months at work). She entered the cluttered room and I could immediately sense her fear and restlessness and thats when i saw me in her. She was very different from the people who would probably interest me but I was very fascinated by her. She had blonde hair (she hates it when I say that, but then like a lot of other things, I am terrible at hair colours!) and looked pretty ( i could already see the fascination in the eyes of both guys and girls alike!) .I glanced at her and gave her a mental once over..Hmm..style quotient..gr8!..attitude- an overdose:)..Attractive..ahem..need i say more 10/10..and the minute she glanced at me, I immediately acted important and looked into the law book which i was least interested. She was the specimen i wanted to dissect and not boring sections of law,for god's sake!Thats when I felt a connect which i decided to pointedly avoid.But well,little did I know...haha..

Anyway, moving on, she sat down and pulled out a book from her very fancy bag..God of small things by Arundhati Roy.She started reading as if she didnt have a care in the world. But i knew that she was very scared and her mind was on a high alert!I could sense it with all my being. Because I had been there.And i knew the feeling. Then fate played its game. We were put to work together and we got along like a house on fire. Both of us are reticent by nature, maybe thats what made us ask each other so inquisitive about each other! Work culminated into 4'o'clock walks and when all of this developed into a deep friendship,neither of us realised.And so began what I like to call, a life long romance between us.:)

the 'she' is Seema, one of the most important persons in my life today. Its weird but both of us just have to look at each other and we kind of know what the other is thinking. All this happenned to us in a matter of months,believe it or faint!This kind of whirlwind friendship happens once in a lifetime. I mean, you meet different friends under different circumstances. But this has to be a first time as far as I am concerned.

Today when someone says that you can never make friends at work,I just smile and think to myself"You never know buddy,serendipity is a weird thing." Everything in life happens for a purpose and everybody comes into one's life for a reason. Here's to the woman who reinforced my belief in fate and serendipity. Thanks for coming into my life Seema.Muah!!!!

P.S. my song for the blog,"suicidal blonde-inxs". to the only blonde in my life;) Texas is not very far way,my gal..think about it:)
