              "People You should follow"

               After having seen such annoying, self-pimping trends on twitter, he was already bored and annoyed. He was about to close the laptop and do something more productive. One tab on right side of the screen said "people you should follow".Without anticipating much,he started checking the suggestions with a poker face. There were celebrities, there were so called twitter celebs and then,there were some users who looked either IIT pass outs or party animals born on the dance floor. 

               What really drew his attention was a profile. It looked identical to him in ways more than one. And, more importantly the profile user was also relatively new. At least looked like one.

Music addict.Foodie.Daydreamer. Blogger - It had all the typical attributes that one usually boasts of on twitter. Everyone these days is a foodie,blogger and DSLR photographer. ( yes, thats the term they use :P). He was almost about to move further when "loves reading biographies" in her bio made him wait for a moment more. He glanced through the bio again, and it looked different this time. He instinctively followed her.

Next day, a notification said she followed him back. 

He looked through the profile again and sent her a message.Her response was normal and cordial.They exchanged pleasantries, ice breaking was far more comfortable and smooth than what both of them had thought of.He was curious to know her more.She was probably and totally unaware about it. 

When you feel like knowing a person,you are always curious about each and every small thing that person likes. He was no exception to this. He was more than curious to know her likes, passions, desires,things that make her happy, food that makes her drool and lots more. She also opened up, layer by layer, unfolding her personality, her mind & her thoughts.Both of them were realizing it's the art that was connecting them stronger with each other. A pure love for art, culture, music, words, feelings, emotions. It's amazing how two almost strangers could just open themselves without inhibitions and share a vibe so heartfelt and genuine. That's what was happening with them. He got to know not only what she liked, but more importantly, what she was- as a woman, as a person. It was a delightful experience knowing someone who could groove to EDM songs over drinks and smoke and at the same time,be so heart-warmingly expressive through her poems. He read half a dozen poems while chatting with her, and, every poem he read, introduced him to a facet of what she was and what her mind wanted.He loved the the way words flowed in her poems.She liked the way he narrated his short stories.

"I like people who write". She said. 

"I could never express in stories what you do in poems. You are magic with words". He complimented back.

In just three days, they bonded over music, art, writing, words,jokes, random talks, favorite drinks & food, crazy smoke tales and lots more. He was cherishing every moment of it, living it fully.Every time he conversed with her over something, he ended up knowing a little more about her, as a woman.Every time she would share something with him,it was either a common interest or something which he had already read in her. 

"I guess I read you well". He said.
"Yes looks like". She acknowledged.

Just when they were engaged and engrossed in their conversation, she read his mind and startled him with her question.

"Will you be writing about this?" Came a straight question, referring to the way they have bonded in just four days with so many common interests.
"I am already on it. Should be complete in a day or two". He surprised her. Secretly, he imagined her smile as well. 

  She asked for the title.He was undecided on that. 
"Name it 'Common Threads'". She expressed. He obliged with pleasure.

" You know there could be a sequel as well, which I would expect from you". He was playful.
"You make me feel important". She responded. 
"You deserve it". He meant what he said. He said what he meant. She deserved it.A blog post,a genuine compliment,and most importantly,they deserve the amazing connect they are sharing.A connect with lots of good vibes and with far more common threads that will skillfully hold them together in days to come. 

P.S. - "You do read me well". She has already confirmed to him. :)
