Unfamiliar acquaintances!!

     Sounds strange?? I also passed through some strange experiences and learned some significant lessons on human relations from it, so decided to write on this topic.

     There are some acquaintances where we are unfamiliar of their background or facts. There are some acquaintances where we are not bound to follow any formalities, where we have to write our own rules from the scratch. Freedom is a key ingredient of such acquaintance. A human tendency is always to look for newness, for liberty. And that’s why such bonds are more attractive, more powerful.

     A casual smile exchange with someone who once in a while crosses a road with you or shares a public transport, a Good Morning wish from a security guy, a friend’s friend who helps you adjust in a new city, a book author whom you trust can guide whenever you are down, an RJ who cheers you up while you’re getting bored, someone who showed you the right path when every road seemed to be blocked, a well-wisher/guide/Guru who changed the way you think and filled you with good vibes - are some of the few examples of this case.

     Happiness received in this case always have more value and its effect lasts longer. Reason??Because it is unexpected, free :-).

     Best example of this oxymoron is lovers turned friends, who knows each other completely and yet can never let anybody see this, not even the person whom they know so well. As love is just the strongest form of acquaintance, true lovers are acquainted with every breath, every habit, every reaction and every thought process of each other. But they can never show and nobody will ever know (as friendship after love is a very complicated stage :-D ), yet somewhere inside they trust and rely on each other.

     Someone stays attached even after being free from every tie , and someone just can’t come closer even after spending years together. In process of being familiar to someone, it doesn’t matter how many occasions you’ve celebrated together. It never matters how much close you are in family hierarchy. There are some signals straight from your heart; some lights seen in eyes, some forces free from time and space which makes you feel acquainted. And you just can’t feel unfamiliar (even though logically you’re supposed to feel so).

     You got to know some people by some special chains. This has its own gains and its own pains :-).
