A story to unfold and a Destiny to fulfill !!

I am amazed to meet old friends and acquaintances.

I often wondered about the class topper from my school days or the twins from my class and where they must be. Thanks to Face book - I have been able to connect to so many of them. When I look at their photos, I try to catch glimpses of their youth and our times together. As I chat with them and hear from them on what they did in the last couple of years – I marvel !!

I marvel at how our lives were very similar upto a certain age; and how now we have been thrown into different lives. Like the topper of the class went on to do a research program and is now a Professor –content with a teaching job and bringing up a daughter.  The naughty twins from the class of tenth are now very responsible professionals- One a captain on the ship and the other doing an accounting job. The girl who was very good at literature is content with being a stay home mom. The boy who was only a little behind me in terms of his rank is now a Chartered Accountant and a partner in an Audit firm. One of the most beautiful girl of the class is now settled happily in the middle-east with her family.  I am also reminded of one of my closest friends from school who succumbed to cancer at the age of 29 leaving behind a three year old son.

And so I marvel at the twists and turn that each of our lives have taken.

And then I realize each one of us has a story to unfold and a destiny to fulfil. !!
