Anecdotes in Daily life

This incident happened when we visited one of our friends house for dinner. During the loong talks..... post dinner we were introduced to one of their friend. Coincidently this friends' friend (Mr Fr) worked in the same industry as that of my husband and they started discussing work and football. Soon we were making new acquaintances when Mr Fr said he stayed in the same area as we did. Now a quite interesting conversation was shaping :-

My Hus: Where did you say you stay?

Mr. Fr: Do you know Sahariya signal (In Ham Hammed)

My Hus: Yup. So do we........ But where near Sahariya. We were trying to recollect all the buildings near to our place........as converssation progressed.

Mr. Fr: Do you Okras Building? 

My Hus: Okay............but where near Okras building? (trying to hide the fact that we stayed in Okras Building)

Mr. Fr: I stay in the same building. Dont tell me you stay in the same building said he quite amused.

By now our friends were almost in splits.

My Hus: Haan Yaar we too stay in the same building. How come we haven't met before. We tried to reason saying "Maybe your office timings are quite different from ours"

"Okay on which floor do you stay. Maybe we stay on different floors and so have never met. Now dont tell me that you stay on the 6th floor"............we were ....on the sixth floor

Mr. Fr: His eyes widenend and .................

For a second every one was quiet and then all burst out laughing................. Mr. Fr too lived on the SIXTH FLOOR................. 

Oh how could it be?? We had been staying there for the past 10 months and never once did we meet this person. I was thinking hard but could not recollect seeing this person..........on our floor.........or at least in the lift............or corridor ............or parking

My Hus: But then how did we miss each other........you must be in the A wing of our building .......

Mr. Fr: Ah yes I do live in Wing A...............

This incident left me thinking ..........the kind of mechanical lives we live. I must admit I wouldn't know a single family in our floor apart from our neighbour's cat that keeps purring at me and Jiah whenever we pass her door.

When we kept in tuch wid all the people around the world thru FB we really didn't  care about who lived around us.............
