Impressions...

Life is all about people. Connections and consequences. The impact of one another on one another. I am an observer of life. I observe people around me not just because they take a part in the journey, but because they help me to understand me better.  Some come along with me for short period of time, and some quite long. Along the way, I read their behavior and I predicted many things. I predicted their next move, so it happened. I let few things influence me, it happened. I let few things affect me, so it happened. All without them knowing.

In my short lived life, I have encountered different people. Different at different times fulfilling their given roles and at times, some even volunteering roles, unminding of the suitability of the roles. We never know why and how we encounter them in our life. For some strange reasons, I sense.

Entertaining, serious, innocent, blissful, careless, self centered, utterly selflessness, and many more, finding meaning of their life through various means and ends. Those who mind the ends, don't mind the means and vice versa. Thirst for knowledge, thirst for wisdom, thirst for making some mark in history.  On the contrary,  thirst for short lived pleasure, thirst for materialistic life.  Well, I reserve my comments.

Its like reading books.Some are to be with us for ever, some are to be admired, some are to be followed, some are to be seen from afar, and some are not to befriended, at all. Few years ago, I encountered a person, and I prayed that I should never meet anyone anymore in my entire life.

But, you wouldn't know until you get to know the person in a closer proximity. And your expectation may go wrong, if otherwise happened.

I did learn some lessons along the way, never to be repeated. I believe some people come in our life as a instrument to tell us something- to teach or to remind or whatever.

Well, having said that, had it not been for the differences, don't you think, our life will be bored with similar characters? But still...I really don't know.
