Coincidence Clicks!

Before I start, let me tell you all that this article is my shortest yet, following comments about my lengthy attempts earlier. Hope you enjoy it. Here it goes..

Itis funny how certain things happen coincidentally. As for me, coincidence just surprised me two weeks back.

It was my first day in a new school (DAV Gill Nagar) and like everybody else I was also in the mood to make some new friends. As I entered the school to find a bunch of new students, I met a girl (she happened to come in the same van as mine). I introduced myself and she responded by introducing herself as Vidhya,ok that was a pretty common name. Who would have thought that that name had a lot of history associated with me.


Consequently, we were put in the same section. Well, then there was no stopping us. We chatted and chatted and chatted (very likely when two girls get together!)Then, after a couple of hours, we came to discussing about our childhood. I told her that I studied in Saudi Arabia. "Coincidentally" she said she also came from the same school as mine. Well, that's when we realized something.. we both were from the same school and same section in second standard in Saudi Arabia! I remember talking to a girl called Vidhya, but she left the school soon after I joined, so our friendship lasted only a few days. But approximately after 9 years, we met each other in India in a school again and in the same fashion! I couldn't help laughing..it was such a great moment. Meeting your long lost friend after nine years! The funnier thing was that we both lived in the same street all these years (in India) and we never had any idea..man, this is just awesome!!!

When I think about those days in II-Q, (that was our section), two little girls talking childishly about silly things, having no idea where this friendship would lead us to, and here we are ,sitting next to each other in XI- E ..Was all this just coincidence or destiny's game?

Whatever it may be, "This is what life is all about!"
