IF war, eka member ni ek post lihila hota. She was trying to find logic in some of the situations in IPK. Logic: my most favorite thing in the world. Ughadla post and marlya comments 😆 Tichya post madhye, meech kaahi prashna add kele and we got talking. Soul sisters nighalo 😆 I felt like I was talking to myself. We got conversing on PM on other random stuff, books and philosophies, stuff like that. Maajheech carbon copy watat hoti! She told me she was born in '83 and that she is from Bengalooroo and that she is a Kannadiga.
Tevdhyaat, maajhi batti petli:
I was like, "Wait a minute! who is this girl. I have just arrived in Dundee and met this female for the first time. Is she facebook stalking me or something?" I told her, "Ya, how did you know ?"
She said, "OMG! that is so bizarre! My best friend is born on the same date and talks exactly like you. I just asked on instinct! I did not even imagine that you would say 'yes'!"
(And that's my friend, How I met BR 🤣 We have ended up becoming really good friends and she has practically adopted my parents because she thinks they are very cool ! )
One other subtle fact: B's Hindi is pretty good. It comes from going to KV, which has compulsory Hindi, which the rest of the SI schools don't do. This girl's hindi was really good for a south indian as well. And she was sounding like me. It got me thinking, what are the chances???
I decided to check it out any ways! I asked this IF girl, "I know this might sound strange, but do you know any girl by the name of BR?"
If girl replied getting suspicious, "Ya...there was a girl named BR in my school. They were 3 sisters and if I am not wrong, she is currently in Dundee, UK".
I was like, "Oh freak! This can't be happening. Please tell me you aren't born on the 6th of October!"
She said, "No, I am not. My birthday is on the 27th June. But why are you asking me this. Are you someone I know and are playing some kind of prank on me or have we chatted with each other on a different ID?"
By this time I was calling BR, "Hey did you go to school with a girl named "IF gurl"?"
BR, "Ya sweetie, IF - surname right ? But why are you asking ? That was ages ago. How do you know her"
I replied, "You wouldn't believe what just happened, but let me confirm something! "
I PMed the IF gurl again, "Is this your surname ?"
She replied, "Yes, that's it. This just disproved the theory of 6 degrees of separation! What A small world..."

Apparently, it turns out that even though, she isn't the best friend BR mentioned, these 2 went to school together and haven't been in touch for the longest amount of time. Now they are, thanks to me 😃
