The world is a small place.....

They say the world is a small place and people who pass you come around again in your life.
They must be lying. Just as they lie about love being an eternal bliss, tell that to a girl or boy recently scorned by their lover and you will soon come to know a new version of Love. 

They say the world has become so small that you cannot loose anyone.
Its so not correct, so many of my colleagues with whom I have worked with, gone for coffee everyday, chatted away for hours, they all disappeared just as I moved to a new project.

Every time we part from a person we live under an illusion that this parting is not permanent.
We make ourselves believe that we can reach out as soon as we want. 
But if we take time and look closely at our life we are like spare parts fitted in a Giant machine. We are required to run the machine but that doesn't make us the important part. We can decide where we want to be. But we cannot force others to be at the same place. We just live under the illusion of control.


Today was the last day of one of our colleague, with time I have come to grow so fond of him,
and after tomorrow I will probably never see him again.
Why does life have to be so difficult? Why can't people we like just stay with us?

I know the world between us will never be small. So they are wrong...
Just as they are wrong about almost everything else....
