Serendipity or the chance meeting


The word 'serendipity' reminds us of either the movie serendipity ,where two people in love leave destiny to decide or the chance discovery of penicillin.The surprise and  the happiness that meeting somebody, may be a long lost friend by chance cannot be debated.But tiny meetings which occur by chance also give us the same amount of happiness although we never realise.Two days ago,I was in the library browsing when I met a friend by chance and right behind me was another friend.Since we all live near by the meeting did not take us by surprise,but the timing definitely was a surprise. Another instance when I was getting off a train bleary eyed at 4:00am,I hear my name and turn around to see this nice person who informs me that she was my senior at school.But I concluded  that she had exceptional memory and slowly recollected.Chance meetings increase with age as we meet more people with time.Memory and recognition plays an important role in how the meeting ends.Although its always a pleasure if both of us have the same memory and same presence of mind in exchanging thoughts.:) 
If you are reading this, it is again serendipity......:)
