A known stranger.

I met an old friend last week.I was meeting her after 12 years(well she thinks its 13 but i am sure its 12 :)).She was soon geting married.Although it was my idea to meet up for the lunch but i was myself not feeling like going,thinking it would be a boring get together with nothing common to talk.

But on contrary,i really had a nice time.You know whats good about meeting an old buddy who knows nothing(recent) about your life,you can share anything with her without having a guilt of sharing too much.I knew i would never meet her again in my life(or maybe for another 12 years) and probably she knew it too,so we both opened our hearts out to each other.

She told me some of her most personal secrets,fears,insecurities and many other aspects of her life.And after 4 hours of eating pizzas and 3 rounds of icecreams,I also didn't left anything unsaid about my last 12 years.

Its so amazing that you spend each day of your life with someone and yet are stranger to them whereas another person knows nothing about you yet seems to know you inside out.Even more amazing thing was that despite of not knowing anything about me,she gave me all the answers/reasons i was searching for soo long.And the most amazing part of all is,she gave me it in just one line.

After listening to me for almost half hour,she said: "I think the easiest way to loose something is to wan't it too badly".

And my mind went,woah at that very moment.Thats exactly the mantra of life,not to want something too badly so that you forgets the reason why you wanted it in the first place.After thinking it through many times,i think somewhere in my heart i already learned that thing but i guess she verbalized it in the best possible way.Thanks buddy for everything.And wish you a great life ahead :):)

And to all junta reading my blog,a very Happy diwali to you all :):)
