World is ....

Recently I went to my colleague's brother's wedding. As she travels in the same cab, it becomes imperative that I attend her brother's marriage. The team of five left. Three of them I know quite well as they are also my cab travelers. But the driver of the car, another colleague of mine about whom I am writing. He is Madhukar Pai. We sat in the reception hall awaiting the pair to appear. I was watching Madhukar. I have seen this face somewhere earlier and elsewhere. I tried to picture him without his ever present thick beard. Then I blurted out 'which is your hometown? He said Mudabidare. then I told as if to myself, there was one Pai from Mudabidare who was my colleague. Madhukar coolly announced, that's my brother Ganapathi. This was a pleasant shock for me. I was mentioning about a place in Oman called Nizwa. This place has a lighting show room of my previous company and there was an in-charge called Ganapathi Pai. To think that that person has turned out this person's brother was too much for me. I have traveled with him to some places in Nizwa. He taught me what to do in his absence since he was on his way to India and I was to look after his place. Very funny, to think that his younger brother is my colleague in my next place of work in Bangalore. So the title, the world is........................... .........................................Very small
