Abhijit Bhaduri has a chance meeting with a classmate who wasn’t a friend and wonders why we treat each other so differently as adults.
The choice was between spending the night at the airport or to stay with Pingy. I opted for the tougher choice. I hesitated simply because even though he had been my classmate in school, I had barely exchanged a few sentences during our twelve years together.
Is the need for peer approval stronger in childhood? Or like Abhijit asks, could it be that in strange places, even strangers become friends?

@ Tony: As I don’t know him personally, I have no comment. But I thought the post was a good one.
