Small World

There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small small world


Half way across the world, he looked around him. Who would have guessed that this would have been the situation? In a country that the world aspires to be associated with. The country in turmoil slowly bringing every other country tumbling down economically. The interlinking was strong, but now the world begins to unravel the knots that weigh them down.

He looked closer. Reunions were taking place. Classmates for 10 years, out of contact for the next 10, and now living about 20 miles apart. Friends last seen 8 years ago, now in the same building at work. Classmates for 2 years, then for 2 more. Colleagues for 2 years, then 2 years of school, and now colleagues again.

Time really knows how to bridge the gap.



It's a world of laughter, a world or tears
Its a world of hopes, its a world of fear
Theres so much that we share
That its time we're aware
Its a small world after all

It is fitting that this post was in "Down by the Bay". The world is small only in that part of the world (what a conclusion! :))

Nice - I've never run in to people from my past. Wonder how it must've felt, eh?

well, it's tiny according to me. like they say..you can run, but never hide. I happened to meet somenone by chance, whose parents happened to have worked with my dad..more than 2 decades ago..so thts how small it can get..or smaller may be..its the perspective.
