I am sitting in a plane, traveling across the globe in a 25 hour journey. As I am waiting for the journey to start, I wait in anticipation who is the person I would be sitting with. It is like fate that that person shares everything you do with you…eat with you, sleep with you (lol..sounds weird!) and share that little space with you. If you are sitting in the middle then you have 2 people, one on your left and one on your right.

The boundary set by the airlines, the limited space, the type of food served, the timings of the food, and the usage of the small and compact bathroom is so carefully crafted and determined for us. We have no say in anything, except perhaps the seating arrangements, provided we did early booking of the ticket. We must at that point conform to the guidelines set by the airlines if we were to reach that destination we journey on.

Isn’t life like this? Aren’t we too on a journey? We live in boundaries set for us. Then we try to expand our boundaries. In the process we experience joy and sorrow, and we move on. Don’t the people we anticipate and sit next to us on the plane similar to the relationships we foster in this lifetime. Some great mathematician up there uses an algorithm that mathematically bounds us to those around us for a purpose. Isn’t life simply fascinating!
