Kya Konnection hai?

Ever wondered.....(these days am wondering a lot. 'Wondering' seems to be figuring in almost all my posts these days. Hmmm....Time to improve my vocabulary :D)

Anyways back to my wondering and wandering (thought-wise) ways. Have you ever wondered what makes you connect with people, things, places, events, etc. I am sure you must have done it at some point of time.

There have been times when strangers come up to me and begin sharing about their personal lives with me. It makes me wonder if it's my face, the look in my eyes or my cute ears (lolzz) that makes these people open up to a complete stranger like me. I wonder what made them connect with me that moment and lay themselves bare (metaphorically). It can be unfamiliarity which makes it easier for them to open up coz then one is not in a position to judge them and also because there are slim chances that they would ever meet them at any point in future. There have been times when i have thought about it but not that seriously but recently one incident made me question myself as to what makes me connect with others. I was talking to some people and listening to their stories. Suddenly in the middle of the conversation one of them remarked that there was something that had made me come that far and listen to their stories. On hearing her i was a bit taken aback because i just didn't know how to react to her words then or if that was the only reason that had taken me there. Since, then i have been thinking about it. So, what is it that makes one connect with others,

Is it...

the similarity that one shares with another person?

the difference?

something mystical?

pain?

need or want?

desire?

unfamiliarity?

strange familiarity with a new place that makes you long to go back to that place?
memories?

There are different things that makes one connect with the same thing in different situations. There are things with which one can connect in only one way and it can be so strong that one can feel drawn to it without any reason. But at times there have been people with whom the connection is so strong at one moment that it may make one think that it would never break but strangely the very next moment its gone and one is left baffled as to what it was that had drawn them together. Was it fate or destiny or a sheer coincidence?

So, what is it that makes you connect with others?

Comments on my last post made me a bit curious as to what  has made so many people follow my blog though i had not networked much to promote my blog. I feel humbled that  despite that i have  enough of followers to brag about though my write-ups aren't that good as compared to some of my fellow bloggers (he he....coz i hadn't  even imagined when i had started that i would have this many). On a curious note, i  would  love to know what is it that makes you connect with this blog if at all it does.
