Unseen connection

It was both humbling and flattering to be told by someone that my blog had enlightened her as though I could read just what she had in mind at any particular time. This had happened not once or twice, but numerous times, that she found it to be quite amazing. To be honest, I was pretty amazed by her story too…

“For example, when I was thinking about finding formula for infant – you came out with an entry on it. Then, when I was busy finding out the documents needed for baby registration at the embassy, you came out with the necessary list. Just the other day, some Indonesian friends were telling me about nyuin joosan, the special subsidy for childbirth in Japan, and then you wrote about it too. And these were not the only times it happened – there were other instances as well. That’s why I make it a habit to check your blog daily, and several times too!”

It was not surprising that when we met in person, we hit it off well, chatting for hours as if we have known each other for ages instead of just meeting for the first time. Maybe there had been an unseen connection between us all along, after all.

To Aida-kyushu – it was a great pleasure meeting you. Glad that I have been of help, but I believe I also have a great deal to learn from you too. May this silaturrahim between us be blessed always…
